Is this the same building with the Petroleum Club? If it's the office building I think you're talking about, it's rather boring in a 60's-70's viewpoint. I use to work in several of those buildings and most of them are connected through the Concourse.

Petroleum is several blocks away in what is now the BankOne building. I use to work in the north tower of Leadership for several years. The building across the street from Robinson Renissance (shit, I never spell that right) was the OLD bank building. You can't go into the lobby portion of the bank (too much security) but the building itself is very nice with between 30's to 50's architecture. They also have the old vault blocked off, as well as the original elevator, but they have elevators located further back (by a chinese restaurant) that are pretty much original.

In the BankOne building, the elevators are fucking FAST! My ears pop every time I'm in them. They go down to the concourse (where BankOne is now) and the doors have some odd tile decoration on them. Again, way too much security in those buildings to do any real good UE.

funny you should mention the first national, i have done some accidental exploration there. I rode the elevator up to some floor got out and it was still like it was back in the 30's and one of the offices was unlocked and empty. it was 60's inside but i keep meaning to go back. I saw the bank lobby last new years it was open, but i really want to go into the vaults downstairs. i wonder if the leasing office could show me?

I doubt it, I think it's still the bank's property, from what I remember anyway. I wish I'd been there when they did the tour but I couldn't get away from work.
