Information About

Gold Building




The Gold Building (also known as the New Mexico Bank & Trust Building) is a 14-story office building located at 320 Gold Avenue SW in downtown Albuquerque , New Mexico . When the building was completed in 1959 it was the tallest in the city at 62 m (203 ft). It now ranks sixth.

The building is rectangular in plan and sits on a larger one-story base. The east and west walls of the Gold Building are windowless expanses of reddish brick, much like the neighboring Simms Building . The north facade is clad in dark glass that neatly reflects the image of the Bank Of America Tower a few blocks away. The south elevation, also glass, is punctuated by a protruding brick-faced elevator shaft. The architects were W.C. Kruger & Associates.
