UBSC
- 5700 S. Ulster
|
| I made a trip to Denver del Sur in the week after
Christmas, 2005. I dropped by UBSC
to pick up
Bill Caffrey for lunch. I had forgotten all about this 'new'
building on the triangle piece of grass on what used to be our vast
lawn to the southwest. Folks used to laugh about that small piece
of property, and "What fool would want to own it?" It seemed
way too small to erect any sort of practical building. Well... It being a bright and sunny day, I took my camera and went out to the traffic circle to photograph this building. |

| The perspective above shows the UBSC
building in the background (and the
'lame' W F S C tombstone.) The view below is from further
west on the traffic circle. What is not easily seen in these pictures is the 'function' of the ground level of this building. It is all parking, a stairwell, (probably) an elevator shaft, and a shaft for utilities. There's about a dozen or more parking stalls under there. I'm a'thinkin' it was designed by an experienced downtown Tokyo architect.  |
 |
| Bill Caffrey tells me that nobody knows what entity is
in
the building -- what business it
conducts -- any of the folks that work there.
Donna Roberts tells me "... the little building on the corner
is
full of attorneys." Probably couldn't field a women's
softball
team.... In case you forgot what it once looked like, you can see the empty triangular piece of property in the old aerial photographs below. (The B&W photograph is so old that the building to the west of the traffic circle is under construction.) |

| Notice that in both pictures (the one on the left at approx. 10 A.M., and the one on the right at approx. 11 A.M.) the UBSC parking lot was not even half full... Saturdays? Bank holidays? Do you suppose? |
