this large building at the corner of union and north madison is fascinating - from the flag pole to the subtle accents to the building. it's pretty cool, but i have no idea if it has a name, or if it has a greater story.
can anyone help?

Hmm, clearly I don't know the name, but it is really fascinating.
If you have time, come over my world here. Thanks!
Nice shot of the unknown building, thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

It´s cool, but I can´t help you, I can only hope you find what you are looking for.
It's a good shot of the building, whatever it is.
don't know the name, but I believe it used to have medical offices in it. As I recall, Dr Riffenburgh was in the building---eye doc or ENT...can't remember now, but my grandfather went to him...last I heard he left the big city to open a hardware in Big Bear.
Sorry I can't help more---at least I recognize it---the other 3 corners are a complete loss for me...wow!
Some helpful insight Tash! But still, no one knows more info on this building! Anyone? Beuller?
The next time I'm in the area I'll be looking for this building.
:-D
I am not familiar with the building but is an excellent example of architecture with lots of details. - Margy
I believe it's called the Pasadena Medical Building.

Finally! Thanks Docker!!!
The Pasadena Medical Building? What a concept!
My password, and I'm not kidding is "examali." Is that a check-up but someone engaging in malpractice?
Ben, I'm just catching up on your posts from this week. I was there the other day and didn't know you'd posted about it. It's the Pasadena Professional Building, it's all doctors, and I'll have a post or two about it next week. It's a gorgeous building but there's not much about it on the web.
The Pasadena Professional Building broke ground on September 13, 1924. Corner of "Herkimer" and North Madison. Cost was $400k -- that's 4.813mil in today's money, adjusted for inflation, but would obviously cost more, since building costs have outpaced inflation quite a bit.
Dodd and Richards were the architects; Schofield Engineering built it. William J. Dodd has a wiki page but sadly it's mostly about his earlier midwestern work--I'm working on a full Dodd and Richards post for the On Bunker Hill blog. Stay tuned there for that...... Nathan
Thanks for the insight Nathan!
