former bank [gone]
Cocoa Beach, FL
This former bank, aka the "Glass Bank", was built around 1961 as a First Federal Savings and Loan branch. The bank featured a drive-thru window between the projecting legs. The penthouse housed Ramon's Rainbow Room where astronauts had wild parties. The top floors, made of concrete, were added later. The restaurant was long gone and the building had been vacant for many years when these photos were taken in 2009. In 2015, the building was demolished. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

unidentified building
Fort Meade, FL

2009:
2020:
This unidentified building was built in 1963. The building housed office space for Embarq, a phone and internet service company in 2009. The "payments" slot next to the front door appeared to be about the same as age the building. My guess is that this was a credit union or bank. However, someone said that this was a Bell South office. In 2016, the mushroom canopies and glass window on the left were gone. [map]
