This 9-story International Style government home came on board in 1959 from the pen of Kenneth C. Black. The dark green aluminum panel curtain wall is set inside a frame of limestone on a base of granite columns. The complex, that includes a hard-scaped plaza, was the centerpiece of a push in Lansing to modernize its buildings in the 1950s. One of the most prominent victims was the previous city hall, a monumental Richardsonian Romanesque government temple from 1896.
