Dismantled, moved from its original site, and reassembled to front a modern office building placed in the weird surroundings of Santiago Calatrava’s Galleria at BCE Place. The former Commercial Bank of Midland has a fine Palladian facade with projecting end bays and is styled after an Italian palazzo.
