"Purely as architecture, the building is brilliant. It's elegantly finished in the familiar brick blend known as "Harvard brick." This brick is formed into walls that are thick and strong, walls that actually help hold up the building -- a far cry from the tacky thin veneers that are now so common…Details like eaves and corners and windows are fashioned with great care."
