The Skinner Building is a historic building in Albuquerque, New Mexico, considered to be one of the best examples of Art Deco architecture in the city.
The building is of brick construction, with a street facade of white terra cotta tile on the north and west sides.
Its exterior features a variety of decorative details including fluted towers, grill work, stained glass, and geometric patterns.
[1] A controversial balcony was added to the building in 2001 after being narrowly approved by the city Landmarks and Urban Conservation Commission, with one commissioner resigning in protest over the decision.
As required by the city, the balcony is freestanding and does not actually touch the building.
