This isn't in Belltown. It's right across the 2nd & Denny border in the Dukedom of Lower Queen Anne. As you can see from the Google photo, it used to be an H&R Block office. I thought it was going to be just another apartment building until its design clearly indicated it was something else. And now I know for sure that it's a place for First Methodists to gather and talk Jesus. Second Methodists are not welcome. But everybody else is. They seem like friendly, accepting folks, these First Methodists - except if you're a Second Methodist. Let's wish them much safe and humble worshiping in the years to come.

This surface reminds me of the padding they use in elevators to prevent people from scratching up the marble or mirrors when moving furniture.
Yeah, but it's made of metal. Now that's a neat trick!
And it's extremely shiny metal. I walked by on a sunny day and was nearly blinded, which is somehow apropos. I like the way it looks. Props to the Methodists for making an investment like this here rather than somewhere more suburban. Sort of a bold move. The site also includes a shelter for homeless men, which I believe is to the left in the picture.
Yes, the shelter is in the non-metallic part of the complex.
When the late afternoon sun hits that thing, drivers will thing that The Second Coming is near.
