Shell Building (1929)

Here is one of the great Art Deco skyscrapers of the late 1920's. Though shell motifs adorn the entrance grille, the other oranment is abstract. The detailing is a fine as the crown as the entryway. As in Kelham's Russ Building, the terra-cotta cladding has an appealing rippling texture.
