The International Style is expressed through a structural grid and large expanses of glass. The glass curtain walls are panelized and set in from the structure. The structural grid is faced with marble. The marble caps the building at either end, and more glass curtain walls serve as the front and back entrances. An auditorium dome, covered walkways, brick tower, and public lawn complete the mid-century modernist vision for a forward-thinking city.
