SoboleuS September 21st, 2003, 12:48 AM I think before the War it looked a little bit better, now it's too dark, but I like this style ;)
The only bad thing is really dirty facade. It's time for renovation :rant:

They should clean the facade, then it would become a 7,5/10 from me.

I really like this building - it was second highest in Warsaw till Intraco I and Forum were built in 70s.

Monkey December 26th, 2004, 09:46 PM With a major rennovation, this could be a really nice, grand old building. At the moment it just looks miserable, abandoned and drab.

cichus1 July 27th, 2005, 05:13 AM i give maximum 10 points for its bulletproof steel construction
http://wilk.wpk.p.lodz.pl/~whatfor/panzer/1_prudential_anim.gif
it was hit by a 2 ton 660 mm howitzer bullet and didnt fall
this shooting machine was called Thor after the viking god crushing everything with his hummer, so if the gods can't crash it nobody can
