I remember visiting this building in '99 (I think it was 99) and it looked nothing like this. I believe they were only using the building part time but it was still the creature shop then. It looks fantastic now, although I was hoping for a little bit more "Henson" sprinkled in here and there. Maybe some kind of homage in the lobby area with some artwork or something like that. Still I would live there, it looks way cool!

I wonder if they left Brian Henson's parking spot in the front. That sign was the only evidence that it was indeed the creature shop when I was there. That would be cool.

That's interesting. Now If I was running an apartment/hotel and trying to cash in on the Henson name, it would be a lot more fun and less sterile looking than that.

I agree that havinvg some more Hensony things would have been great. A copy of the 'NBC Pipes' in a closet somewhere in the building would have been fun.
