State Office Building

The State Office Building is known locally as the SOB. From the outdoor court on the 8th floor there is a spectacular view of the channel and Douglas Island, while in the lobby is a massive Kimball organ dating back to 1928. Every Friday at noon a performance is given, a perfect excuse to join state workers for a brown-bag lunch.
