Security Building

The Security Building stands in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, and was built in 1928 for the Security Improvement Company. The building is an outstanding example of Second Renaissance Revival architecture, designed by Curlett & Beelman. It stands out for its facade of copper and hand-molded brick, as well as an interior with marble floors, marble walls, and brass elevator doors. It originally served as the headquarters for law firms and producers' associations. After a renovation in 1958 that added a penthouse apartment, Maricopa County took over the building in 2001. Following a historic restoration that began in 2005, it now houses various county offices.
