The "Little Parmassus in the sky" at the top of the building

The building is notable for having a small Greco-Roman temple at the top, called "a little Parnassus in the sky" by chairwoman Sherida E. Paulsen of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission^[2] It has extensive decorative motifs including escutcheons of anthemions with lion heads over many windows.
