notes |
The Beaver Building has gotten shaded over by the tall towers of the Wall
Street area (see portrait view) and can only be seen piecemeal. We like the mottling of the green panels here at the top of the building. The windows are deeply set and are also framed with green panels. Stone carvings were favored around entrances because it was regarded as "classier" then terra cotta.
