Jones building for 1 and a half years and though I am not a fan of that style of architecture I did appreciate it. I have a small piece of marble on my desk at my new office that was from the side of the building. It lay on the sidewalk during demolition. I thought that I had earned in since the elevators were not very kind to me during my stay. I did have a chance to rummage through the floors before our office was moved. I went on missions to scope out extra furniture that other offices had left behind. I saved a huge plant! I was able to check out most of the building which was very interesting especially after working there for almost 2 years and only seeing one floor. I was lucky to have gotten to see the building mostly vacant with out so much demo that it was not recognizable as office space. The basement was most impressive. I have a map that was left behind that is yellowed and floor plans of our old office space. I also took shots of the building in various stages of demolition. I worked in the Garland H.

And the pictures you managed to take tell a really great narrative of the building. Really informative and well-written article, John.

In one of the pictures, I noticed the rear of that old federal building across the street. Let's get rid of that old eyesore as well. Thanks for a fine article and inside look.
