It’s not a flying saucer. That’s the rotunda atop the First Federal Plaza. Originally a rotating restaurant, now offices with a spectacular 360° view. Built in 1977, it was the First Federal Savings & Loan until the late 1990s and is currently the home of engineering, law and financial firms. The building and its underground garage are built over what used to be Front Street.
