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.

View from inside the IDS Center's Crystal Court.
The IDS Center (80 S 8th St) is the tallest building in the state of Minnesota at 792 feet (241.4 m). Opened in 1974 as the IDS Centre, it stood 775 feet 6 inches (236.4 m), though a 16-foot (4.9 m) garage for window washing equipment was added at a later date. In 1992, the 776-foot (236.5 m) tall First Bank Place, now known as the Capella Tower, was completed nearby. However, it was advertised at the time as 774 feet (235.9 m) tall, one foot (0.3 m) shorter than the IDS "out of respect". A dispute eventually erupted in 2004–2005 and the rooftop garage is now included in the building's height, restoring it to first-place status in the city. Overall, the structure rises to 910 feet (277.4 m) when including communications spires on the roof, indisputably the highest points in the city. The IDS was constructed as the headquarters of Investors Diversified Services, Inc.—now Ameriprise Financial. It has 1.4MM square feet of office and retail space.
The IDS became the tallest skyscraper in Minneapolis when it surpassed the height of the 30-story Foshay Tower in 1972 while under construction, ending that building's 43-year reign over the city skyline. Construction of the building was followed with great interest, and the topping-off ceremony was a major civic event in the city. Today, many high-rise buildings in Minneapolis echo design features of the IDS Center, particularly its sleek, modernistic glass facing. (From Wikipedia)
This stepback cupboard we found in Strausburg, VA. Joe restored it and it now houses my collection of vintage Pyrex. I love Pyrex because of the colors, though I shy away from pieces with designs on them and I tend to like the colors of the 50s and 60s best! And YES, we do use all this stuff!
These two pieces are a few of my Prized posessions. The small plain white creamer is about 50 yrs old, and I picked it up at an auction. The Large old pottery pitcher and creamer , were passed down by my great, great, great, grandmother Elizabeth. Dating these to around 1850. They look great against the chippy green paint inside my stepback.

I wanted to show the contrast between the rectangular shape of Willis Tower's architecture set against the triangular form of the Metropolitan Correctional Center Chicago (MCC Chicago). Though both reflect the geometrical style of architecture, the Willis Tower is done in the stepback style while the MCC Chicago has a right triangle footprint. The buildings are also used for different things: Willis Tower is an office and retail space while MCC Chicago is a federal prison for men and women. This photo was taken at taken at the NE corner of Dearborn and Congress.

Childs antique stepback cupboard, all handmade probably by a father or grandfather for a little one the wide part is actually a breadboard. I love little cupboards, I have a few, I think they are the sweetest things. There is an old cast iron stove with all the cast iron accessories, little hogscraper candles, little yellow ware bowls, little brass candle sticks with candlesand on top are old and reproduction animals that I adore
The stepback geometry of the 110-story tower was developed in response to the interior space requirements of Sears, Roebuck and Company. The configuration incorporates the unusually large office floors necessary to Sears' operation along with a variety of smaller floors. The building plan consists of nine 75 x 75 foot column-free squares at the base. Floor sizes are then reduced by eliminating 75 x 75 foot increments at varying levels as the tower rises. A system of double-deck express elevators provides effective vertical transportation, carrying passengers to either of two skylobbies where transfer to single local elevators serving individual floors occurs. -from Bruce Graham

This door opens for easy access to the pendulum. Below the two side doors are small drawers. The lower cabinet offers two raised panel doors that open to reveal shelves for additional storage.

I like to have a thrash out to Lakeside when I'm in this area, I was taken there today by 19722, I'd worked out a 'double stepback' would get me required 19791. By the time I got back from Costa and into the outside world once more, the weather had well and truly turned for the worse. 29/4/15.

This is the left side of the stepback cupboard that my husband restored in which we now display our Redwing (Minnesota) Pottery "Oomph". These mixing bowls are some of my favorites! I just love the wide band of color around the top of them. There are three of them in descending size. This pattern was the last pattern that was made by this pottery before they shut down production for WWII in 1943.
