Terra-cotta units set within a framework of steel. Industrial converted to commercial and residential. (Source: "Terra-Cotta Skyline", by Susan Tunick).
Red terra cotta blocks and castings are used to accent this very early example of a "steel and glass" facade (2-jpg).
The Scholastic Books headquarters at left echos the terra cotta with similar blocks used in the bottom "crossbeam" to spell "Scholastic" (2-jpg).
