One Capitol Square (The Fidelity Building)
1971, Marcellus Wright, Jr.; 1996, renovation, Scribner Messer Brady Wade. 830 E. Main St.
A rather boring black and white box, this building originally had a lobby setback and an escalator to an open-air main lobby on the second level. The ground-floor facade was recently reworked into a deconstructivist statement that is more elaborate than the original facing.
