here's the building I'd love to build if I could get my hands on the pieces
for it (especially those hinges.)  It's the BP building in Cleveland, OH,
former US headquarters of BP Oil (who merged with Amoco and moved into the
ugly Amoco building in Chicago).  Anyway, it owes its distinctive shape to
being sandwiched between Euclid and Superior Aves, which are not parallel.
It's sort of a Flat Iron with the nose chopped off.

Here's all the details of the building:

And a couple more views:

This page shows the overhead view of downtown Cleveland.  #20 is the BP
building, you can see its distinctive shape.

Anybody have enough tan to build this one?  Or if not tan, I wonder what color
brick one would have to use to build it.
