Rio Grande



Since the offices I support have split up, I find myself with two offices. The first one is the Rio Grande Train Station on 6th West and 3rd South.




The train station was acquired by the state around 1980. They've turned it into a museum and offices for the Department of Heritage and Arts, Division of State Archives, and Division of State History. There is also a healthy presence of the Division of Arts and Museums which means we almost always have art galleries in the grand lobby. (That's pretty much awesome)




This will make you cranky.

They recently found a photo which showed artisans hand painting gold leaf on the egg and dart decor in the grand lobby. When the state purchased the building, they just painted it white. . .



Big fan of the mezzanine above the gallery.

    That building is so beautiful! I thought you had an office in City Creek? You're cool.

    Yes, that did make me cranky. It is beautiful though. Looking forward to the City Creek post. You're cool. The water at my office comes out brown.
