ALBUQUERQUE
Gold Building (also known as New Mexico Bank & Trust)
Wikipedia:
The Bank of New Mexico Building, as it was originally known, was built on the site of the old Wright's Trading Post building at Fourth and Gold.The building was dedicated in a ceremony featuring Native American dancers and a speech by a sombrero-wearing Winthrop Rockefeller, who was one of the original owners.
The building is rectangular in plan and sits on a larger one-story base. The east and west walls of the Gold Building are windowless expanses of reddish brick, much like the neighboring Simms Building. The north facade is clad in dark glass that neatly reflects the image of the Bank of Albuquerque Tower a few blocks away. The south elevation, also glass, is punctuated by a protruding brick-faced elevator shaft. The architects were W.C. Kruger & Associates.
The Gold Building is a modernist high-rise.
