United Way

The architect incorporated two levels of wide stone bands. The top band, made of upper and lower stones were very similar, where as the upper portion over hangs the lower by 1” creating the three dimensional look. The lower band of the building (also made of an upper and lower stones) was different. The upper band incorporated an architectural detail, creating a sense of a capital over a plain band - similar to the top band of the building. The window surrounds, which truly distinguish this buildings' face, especially the lintels with a cutout in a radius top where a traditional keystone usually is placed.
