Denver Federal Court House and the bank.

On my way to work, I usually pass the Byron White Federal District Court House on 18^th and Stout. This building used to be the post office, but after renovations in 1992 it became the court house. The building is constructed from Yule marble, and the original marble had suffered serious weathering due to downtown air pollution. Since the Yule marble quarry reopened in 1990, all the panels were replaced and the building you see now is from marble that has only been exposed for 15 years.

The sculptures of the big horn sheep you can barely make out are made from Salem limestone from Indiana, a type of the famous Indiana limestone used to make the Cathdedral walls.

Just across from where I work is the former Colorado National Bank Building. This building is all Colorado Yule Marble inside and out, with the exception of the base of the building, which however, is some type of granite. The buildings look somewhat alike, don't they?
