FINE ARTS BUILDING 1925
Walker and Eisen
811W. 7th Street
The street facade of this twelve-story building displays a highly original use of Romanesque (the Catherdral at Lucca comes to mind).
Twisted windows, and elongated columns were all employed. The tripartite division of the facade has taken into account how the building is viewed; it is subtle close up at the street level, large and bold at the top so that it will make an impact from a distance. The tour-de-force of the building (and a must to see) is the two-stroy, arcaded main lobby with its rich surfaces and ornament produced by the til-maker Ernest Batchelder.
