Two buildings. Takes a while to see them as separate structures, and people have gone for many years without realising the two wings have different numbers of floors.
The buildings live on the edge of downtown, and were once close to the industrial center. That's moved away, marooning them by a parking lot, but the area's being redeveloped in 2014-2016, so they'll probably be converted from offices to lofts, with fashionable cafes in the ground floor.
The ornamentation is remarkable. Let's take a tour.
