Albuquerque Petroleum Building, Albuquerque
Located in downtown Albuquerque, the highrise office building known as the Albuquerque Petroleum Building stands 72 meters (235 feet) tall and spans across 15 stories, ranking as the fourth tallest building in the city. The building previously housed the Albuquerque Petroleum Club, a members-only restaurant that ceased operation in 2007. During the 1990s, the building was managed and owned by the Chicago-based Equity Office Properties Trust.
Dwayne G. Lewis Architects designed the Albuquerque Petroleum Building, which features an 11-story trapezoidal block that extends over a four-story glass atrium. A five-level parking garage runs along 6th Street, located to the south of the building. Notable design elements of the building include setbacks on the 8th and 10th floors and three corner balconies on the 5th through 7th floors. Additionally, a 12-foot (3.7 meters) bronze sculpture named "The Future—Chiricahua Apache Family," created by sculptor Allan Houser, sits in front of the building's entrance.
