Description and history

[edit]

The Spanish Colonial Revival style commercial building was built in 1931, and was designed by the Starks and Flanders architecture firm. It is an L-shaped, two-story structure constructed of steel and concrete, finished in stucco, and capped by a low-pitched red tile roof, and has a 2+12-story tower at the corner where the streets intersect.

Since 1966, several state agencies have occupied the Blue Anchor Building. It is currently used the Governor's Office of Planning and Research.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 3, 1983.[1]
