Building Detail, Window Shaping
The window shapes in relation to the treatment of surrounding wall formed strong centers. The window itself, beautifully shaped and specially made with curved sash. The window surround, cast concrete; beyond the cast concrete herringbone brickwork. Below the window, emphasizing the center even further, are bands of alternating flint and stone and concrete and brick. In other instances, large and tall windows, with arched head, in plain plasterd south-facing walls, with multiple curved glazing bars, formed centers in all levels scales.
