DESCRIPTION: Originally built in the Art Deco style. All traces of the style have been removed in 1983. Previously surveyed in 1976 and 1980 (Map Name LUQS 392, code 4/35). At that time it was a good example of an Art Deco office building. In 1976 it was described as a tall U-shaped building with fancy Art Deco decoration around the top stories and a new facade on the lower stories. Private. Lower stories remodeled early 1970's. |
