The Lincoln Financial Group shines beautifully looking out the north facing windows of the Carolina Theatre. We still think of this building as the Jefferson Pilot "JP" building. Lincoln Financial acquired Jefferson Pilot in 2006. After eleven years, it is long time for the rebranding of the building and the business. This 20 story building was completed in 1990 as an add-on to the Jefferson Standard Building that dates back to 1923.
The more we learn about the architecture, the more we appreciate the history and diversity of our downtown buildings. In the foreground on the right, the corner of the Brutalist/cement parking deck on Green Street is peeking out from the fall foliage. The JP, now LFG Building, is truly one of Greensboro's iconic buildings. It is fun to have the children in your life try to spot it from different vantage points in town. Do you have a favorite building downtown?
It really is a distinctive, striking building!
