This building houses the Superior Court of California and was designed by Mark Cavagnero and Associates.

There are three identical doors at the entry to the building. They were designed by Albert Paley. Paley’s work can also be found at 199 Montgomery Street.
Albert Paley is a modernist American metal sculptor, who was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1944. He earned both a BFA and an MFA from the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Paley initially worked as a goldsmith and moved to Rochester, New York in 1969 to teach at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he now holds an endowed chair.

I recognized Paley work as soon as I saw the pic! like his work but unfortunately there is only one piece by him in Toronto – would like to see more.
Wonderful looking doors. I really like the metalwork.
Beautiful set of doors — too bad they have to mar them with the signs.
