"They don't build 'em like they used to." It's an oft-repeated phrase by those who wax nostalgic. But in the case of the Corbin Building—an office building architect Francis H. Kimball designed in 1888—the saying holds true. The distinguished Renaissance-Revival structure is covered in terra-cotta tile embellished with floral patterns. Inside, its monumental staircase with marble steps and an ornate bronze banister ushers visitors up its nine stories. Original wainscoting and cast-iron fireplaces are found throughout the space.
