Sprint Henderson Building
Architect(s): Carpenter Sellers Associates
Address: 104 Water St.
Year: unkown

This 14,000 square-foot switch office for Sprint is located within the City of Henderson's Redevelopment Corridor. The building reflects design ideas that reinforce the City's desire for a more pedestrian friendly and quaint atmosphere. Decorative canopies are on the building's street side even though no windows are on that façade. The canopies provide shade for pedestrians, reduce the scale of the building, and add visual interest. Sandstone, metal, stucco, and other types of stone were used to create an attractive and colorful façade, helping to set the tone for future development.
