- Very shallow set back creates corner windows. Original Parapet intact but banding on the corner window spandrels was lost when they were rebuilt. The WPA photographer liked it so much he shot it twice. On the Lobby floor two right angles in different shades of green Terrazzo intersect in the center of a pale blue circle. So simple, so effective and so Deco. Glass Block elevator landing screens with blue right angles set in pinkish brown that matches the floor. Landing handrail detail is so cool.
