Hey Brian,
I didn’t know you were back. I trust you had a great trip? The photos looks fun. Anywho, yes I did come across an
architect that claimed the Paragon Building as his design. It was Raymond Branton. He had it listed in the catalogue of
works that he had complied after his office burned down. His widow was kind enough to share it with me. I heard they
have taken out that awesome staircase. That makes me sad.
