However, I don't get the feeling that the powers that be are having any of that sort of thing. Next best would be the throwback with big, solid wooden doors, which would be better than a one story brick box. If we could get what ODTG is talking about, that would be great.

I would much rather see a modern building that takes its cues from Bricktown and other area buildings and expresses them in contemporary forms, lines and materials. The site is way east of Bricktown so what would be the point in constructing a 1920 knockoff? Even if the site were much closer to the heart of Bricktown, how does plopping down a two story brick box add to the architectural interst of the area? No replicas please.
