It seems like the triad center was originally suppose to have two 40+ story office buildings and several 25-30 story residential buildings.. In fact I think the residential buildings are the main reason that we have the nice parking lot block that we do today.... The triad center ripped down everything on the block except for the building on the corner of third west and north Temple.... I could be off on the height of the buildings though.
I have mixed feelings on the Triad Ctr., in a way I'm kind of glad it went bunk... Can you imagine three city blocks full of tall buildings that look like the triad center.... Ikky
