It is faced with Wunderlich architectural terra cotta of a graduated salmon brown tone, mottled with black and white with a tooled surface, with a matte semi-glaze finish. Wunderlich architectural terra cotta of modern design has also been used by the architect for the dadoes and panelling to the entrance halls and corridors. The bronze entrance doors, 9 feet wide, by 16 feet high, sheathed and studded, the bronze grills, the lift cage, the mail box, the bronze lift doors, the ornamental copper cornice, and the spandrel panels are also of Wunderlich manufacture.
