I like the polygon entrance surrounded by an arrangment of friezes. The element directly above the door is interesting. It could represent a keystone or an open book or both.

Interesting because these same carved figures are also in the lobby of the Channon Building in NYC and the designs were by Rene Chambellain, in fact I made a clay model of the design on the right.
ReplyDeleteThe design on the right is titled "enlightenment" on the lobby piece and it's one of eight different designs in the lobby.
The one on the left has it's counterpart there too, a little different but still recognizable.
Thanks for that RD. I didn't know about that at all.
