I'm always driving or walking down Dore Alley as I come and go from the Mock/Wallace Office on Bryant Street. Over the year's I've noticed this large grey building with an apartment on the roof. I always thought the building itself, although simple, was nicely detailed with more finesse than what you would expect from other industrial buildings. Sometimes when the large sliding doors are open you can see into the workspace and see that it is a scultpure studio. The sculptor Flectcher Benton has been at this location for as long as our office has been on Bryant Street. Every once in a while, I'll catch them loading a new sculpture onto a flatbed truck to be sent off.
This studio reminds me of the large sculpture studio Mock/Wallace designed for another metal scuptor, Robert Ellison near Penngrove, CA.

Robert Ellison at his Penngrove Studio
The Robert Ellison studio was also a live-work space and was a pre-fabricated metal building.
It's located on the top of a mountain with views overlooking the valley below. Some of his large steel structures dot the expansive grounds. LM
