My immediate reaction was, Zowee!
Today it's an Arvest Bank and you'll find it in Oklahoma City just north of the capitol complex on Lincoln. The building has experienced some blandishment through the years, but it's still definitely futuristic.
The layout of the structure is a diamond shape– but you'd never know it from the outside. The drive-thru has been extensively modified from the original vision of the future. Originally the tellers each had their own little "pod" to work from, this was a trend at early autobanks, but now they are seated together in the main building.
One feature that has not been altered is a novel circular elevator taht measures about 15 feet in diameter. It's like a lounge and elevator all rolled into one! The best part is it's still functional– notice how Jackie is lounging in circular comfort as she descends several feet!
All in all a true delight, and well worth the detour.
