Mystery Structure

This is the east side of the new 18-story AMLI downtown. It will be occupied shortly if it's not already and there are stores in the bottom. Our question is: what is the girder-like thing on the side? Is it decorative? Something unfinished? We don't know the answer. The harsh winter sun really shines off the skin of the building, though. This was taken a little before ten o'clock last Sunday.

  1. I see that every day to and from work and was wondering the same thing.

    The side of that building sure is bright if you catch it at the right time.

  3. Howdy Linda,

    I'm going to guess that this structure is related to fire safety and is designed to supplement fire department ladders that can only reach as high as the bottom of this structure.

    If I'm correct, what do I win? What I'd really like is a dinner at the Stallion and a movie at the Americana Theater.
