Zinc Inc.

A line of three buildings on Broadway between Market and Walnut Streets downtown has been converted into a Drury Inn, a chain of mid-priced hotels concentrated in the Midwest and South of the U.S. The building in the foreground was formerly the American Zinc Building, designed by Hellmuth, Obata, & Kassenbaum and described by a local architecture web site as "a small, stunning Modernist jewel of a building," There are several pictures of the group of buildings here.
