Yes, although it looks downright luxurious in the emporis picture compared to how it looks today.

That nasty reclad hides a stately old brick building with (allegedly) nice facades. And it really would be a stunning place for an office tower - the views are amazing, the river is immediately west of the site and the corridor down St. Mary's St offers a classic San Antonio view of the Tower Life building.

The plastic-looking reclad is now covered in graffiti, including the ever-more-famous RTD Kills.
Wow, can anyone post an updated picture? I remember when I was walking around that area I noticed the back of the building shows the old brick. Does anyone have old pictures of the building to show what it used to look like before the, "modernization" was done? I wonder how much if any of the old facade exists under the newer facade?
