Well, this was the most difficult clue to find to date. Only three people found it, and that was probably because the word clue was ambiguous on purpose. The building is actually the old Science Center in St. Louis, Missouri. As I had suspected, living nearby or knowing about the origins of the graphical clue seems to help when the word clue is really ambiguous. From Jason:

Just had a hunch and I was right, so it took me about a minute. This is the planetarium that’s part of the St. Louis Science Center. Of course I live in St. Louis.

As a separate note, there is a “swinging arm” which is also part of the Science Center that extends across the freeway that is also interesting in this location.
