The building was designed by Harry H. Mahler. Mr. Mahler suggested to the
prospective owners that this new building simulate the appearance of a monument.
A long building, it contains strong horizontal and vertical elements in its
exactly symmetrical facade. It has wings extending on either side of the towered
main entrance. It is a single-story, flat roofed building of white plaster
concrete with striking gunmetal gray trim features. The triple banded pillar
caps bordering the entry tower are representative of the original term given the
style during this period, “3-Bar Modern.” The central focus is the tall clock
tower over the main entrance with spot-lighted clocks on three sides.
