The 46-storey building has a rectangle base of white stone, from which the simple triple setbacks of mid-facade rise, with white stonework emphasizing each setback. Each section of the facade has spandrels of mid-tone brown stone -- as opposed to the light brown limestone of the vertical striping -- with differing decor. |
