(pp. 20) “...From the basement two stairways lead up to the fourth floor; the treads, risers and wainscoting of the stair hall are of Colonial Gray marble from Missouri. Until one sees this material in place, one would be inclined to think that such a dark gray stone would not be in harmony with the color scheme of the rest of the building. On the contrary, it not only looks well, but has the advantage of not showing the dirt, which is bound to accumulate at intervals, even though the building is kept particularly clean at all times. Over 6,500 square feet of this marble were used, not only in the stairs just mentioned but in the lavatories and the office room.” (According to the article, the work was completed on the building at the end of 1923.)
