Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Architecture, Vol. 39: The Professional Architectural Monthly, January, 1919
Gothic was selected as the inspiration for the1 architectural treatment, although it is handled with a remarkably mod ern touch.
Built in the centre of a block, the side walls are blank as to windows, and no space could be sacrificed here for re veals, nor could any encroachments on neighboring property for projections be permitted. Yet these side walls were as conspicuous a part of the building as the front, if not more so, and some form of architectural embellishment that would bring them into harmony with the front, to dress them up, so to speak, and make them, with the front, an architectural unit, was demanded.
