Power and Light Building: Kansas City, MO. (Art Deco)

Decorative elevator door.

 

The Kansas City Power and Light Building is crowned by prismatic glass panels concealing red-orange lights that glow each evening at sunset. Originally, each recessed stepback of the building also held alternating multicolor flickering flood lights that dazzled nighttime viewers with the impression of blazing flames] Today, only the lantern on the top the structure is illuminated by this effect.
