Hyatt Regency Hotel incorporated the E. B. Green designed Genesee Office Building when the 11-story hotel tower and atrium was built in the 1980's. The cast-iron fronts of the Genesee Building were retained and can be seen from inside the hotel's atrium. The project rescued a 15-story red brick, French Renaissance style, green copper hipped roof office building slated for demolition.
