Western Auto Building | 02
The Western Auto Building, also known as the Coca-Cola Building or the Candler Building features a tri-parti facade consisting of base, middle, and top sections. Three-story high limestone pilasters visually define the base which "supports" 8 stories of red-brick-clad punched windows and a limestone-clad "attic" level, topped by a deeply projecting, dentaled cornice. The whole is crowned by Western Auto Supply Company's multi-story lighted sign. The building, an example of the commercial style (Chicago School) was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. #urban #architecture #archilovers #kansascity #sign #historicarchitecture #nationalregister #chicagoschool #designmatters
