Hello from the Salton Sea

Finally, here's a glimpse of the wonderful modernist staircase you see when you come in the front door. It's certainly the boldest architectural move on the interior, and when paired with the cinder block walls, it immediately evokes its era. Kelly told me that a downside of the staircase is that there is no handicap access to the second floor. As a county-owned building it's not presently in compliance with access code, and so there is talk of putting an elevator on the exterior of the building. Here's hoping they won't alter the facade too greatly.
