The Aegon Center was built during the 1990's and is at the southwest corner of 4th and Market streets.
The Providian Company built it but were later purchased by the Aegon Company.
While a Post-Modern bulding, you can see the use of set-backs and geometrics throughout, as well as the vertically emphasized windows - all of which are features of the Art Deco era architecture. It's front entry area is particularly attractive.
