The bottom floor housed the KenAnn House Coffee Shop. The top floor housed the Chateau Madrid restaurant and nightclub. It did not revolve. By the 1980s, the top floor housed The Rooftop, a gay club. The exterior features a 100-foot-tall mosaic covered tower with fish, birds, seahorses, waves, and trees. It was created by the Mosaic Tile Co. of Zanesville, OH. In 1991, the building was redesigned by Dan Duckham. The building was completely gutted and the facade was replaced. The spikey rings at the top of the building were added. In 1994, Duckham designed the round two-story addition shown on the bottom right above. It originally housed the Hot Chocolate nightclub. That space now houses the F45 gym. Since the remodeling, or at least by 2007, the building's main tenant has been Citibank. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
