		This building has imaginative masonry design--not only string courses dividing the registers but the bulging corner design, a challenge for the brick layer! (For a post-modern version of such challenging masonry, see the designs of Frank Gehry, especially his Vontz Center for Molecular Studies, University of Cincinnati and his Lewis Building, Case Western Reserve.)

		Oddly-shaped windows and entrances to the residences There is a great deal of sculptural decoration on the building, which I was unable to photograph. Most of the time I was at the site it was pouring rain.
