Yesterday, while I was looking for the Mohr Pretzel Factory on Molina Street, I came across this eye-catching building on S. Hewitt Street and E. 5th (a block west of Molina).
At first, I couldn't believe my eyes!

I was flabbergasted that I hadn't noticed this 'art deco' building before.
Well, it turns out a good portion of the building is relatively new. Here's the building in 2007.

When I thought it was vintage I thought it was absolutely great, but now that I know it's fairly new, I have mixed feelings. So why is that?
Am I being unfair, just because it isn't old?
the details are impressive.....deco fountain design in color tiles.
here's a closer look the clock, and the pylon on top.

Two large deco 'lantern/pylon' lights...and additional color tiles...etc.
