Citizens Bank of Kansas, Wichita

The best buildings in Kansas seem to have absorbed a lot of Frank L Wright influence, especially the way they use the local stone, which is think a limestone, often tawny-colored. There are many long lean prairie-style houses and commercial buildings dating I think from the 50s and 60s.This bank isn't exactly prairie-style, and its quite recent, but I think it's an admirable building. I like the use of neon, as well.
