The Public Service Building
  • With its rear entrance on Wall Street and front on Patton, the Public Service Building fairly bristles with breath-taking design motifs, 
    clustered at the bottom and top. It's a fabulous example of dreamy upper story wonderment, a gleaming world of Romanesque and Moroccan terra-cotta design work. Also note the second-story ""Leda and Swan"" motif on the Patton side of the building. This fabulous skyscraper narrowly missed the chopping block of the Depression with construction finishing in 1929 following the design of architects Beacham & LeGrand.
