Franklin Tower fire 2011-03-29 - 006

            Franklin Tower is a Modernist office building located at 1405 Eye Street NW in Washington, D.C.  The elevator/HVAC pavilion on top of the building caught fire on March 29, 2011.  It was quickly extinguished, and did about several hundred thousand dollars in damage.

Designed by Vlastimil Koubek, it was constructed in October 1967. The bland glass-and-steel box underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation in 1991. It was given a postmodern facade of finished grey concrete panels and brown granite, the center portion of the building on the south and east sides extended slightly outward to break up the flatness of the building, and twin giant six-story-high non-structural Doric columns topped by a non-structural colonnade and entablature.

It was renamed Franklin Tower after the renovation.
