Patriotic Display
I work across the street from this four-story building and I see this flag flying in their atrium every day.It is on permanent display inside the building protected from rain, sun, and polution.
i drive by that building and see the flag often. What strikes me as the most unusual aspect of the building, however, is that it is an office building with a convenience market, gas station , and fast food restaurant on the first floor. Those would normally seem to be incompatible uses with nice offices upstairs, but I guess it does generate more rent than a fancy entrance and lobby. Maybe that is why they have the money to run the air conditioning to cool that glass atrium during the sunny and hot Arizona weather.

Is this an industrial park like we have here?
great use of the atrium space
Similar to the Kennedy Museum in Boston.
I'm surprised. I wouldn't expect to see something so hard to cool in a place a hot as Phoenix. Interesting.
I bet they never have to replace that flag!
to some patriotic but to some nationalistic.
Is this on 44th St? It looks really familiar.
It looks great.
Very original!
