Building
The east facade of the complex retains the walls of the terrace and front entrance of the transformer station built in 1904. The area where the transformers resided is now the Grand Hall convention halls.
At the main entrance is a water feature called 'The Teslatron' with a transformer like fixture. At street level there is a fountain that varies its height with the wind so as not to wet pedestrians and passing cars.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Whoever places his trust into a system will soon be without a home. While you are building your third story, the two lower ones have already been dismantled.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Travelling is the ruin of all happiness! There’s no looking at a building here after seeing Italy.”
