Sunshine Building, Music venue and commercial building in downtown Albuquerque, United States
The Sunshine Building stands six stories tall with yellow brick facade, marble details, ornate brickwork, pilasters, and a balustraded parapet.
The structure, completed in 1924 by architect Henry Charles Trost, replaced the White Elephant building that contained a gambling hall from 1881.
The theater section transformed from a 1,200-seat movie palace to a contemporary music venue in 1990, beginning with a Soundgarden performance.
Located at 120 Central Avenue SW, the venue hosts multiple concerts each month with a capacity of 1,000 people across an open floor and balcony.
The office section maintained the last manually operated elevator in New Mexico until 1989, requiring dedicated staff to transport visitors between floors.
