Occidental Life Building

The Occidental Life Building is a historic office building in Albuquerque. Featuring an unusual Venetian Gothic Revival architectural style inspired by the Doge's Palace in Venice. It opened in 1917 as the new headquarters of the Occidental Life Insurance Company. It was designed by Henry C. Trost.The building was left almost gutted by a fire in 1933.....I hope they had insurance :) The architectural design is highly unusual for New Mexico.It is one of Albuquerque's most recognizable buildings.
