The Building that never ends

One building, as far as the eye can see. This massive bit of architecture covered blocks. We drove around it looking for an end somewhere. In many areas it had huge concrete columns leading to dramatic trellis work. Vines covered the building as well as the trellis. It was a strange meeting of the classic with the modern.

After driving around the entire building, we finally got a good view of the massive inner courtyard from one side. From this vantage, we discovered that the massive creation wrapped around this three-story brick building and it's large courtyard, complete with fountain. The building, we later learned, is the corporate office for an engine company. In the first picture you can faintly see the large engine-sculpture at the entrance, under the huge concrete vine trellis.
