Expansive windows and Gothic-ornamented terra cotta give this building a light and airy appearance befitting its international reputation as a forerunner of 20th-century glass-and-steel skyscrapers. The building was constructed in two stages: the ground floor and mezzanine were designed by John Wellborn Root, while the upper stories are the work of Charles Atwood. The building was restored in 1996-99.
