renell August 9th, 2003, 06:32 PM 7.5/10 nice setbacks. although the top doesn't look very 1930's. it's like a modern building, undecorated and flat

With minimal number of ornament, it yet look very classic

Vloepkleedje August 12th, 2003, 11:44 PM quite boring and unappealing too. respect for the age of the building.
6.0

Monkey August 30th, 2003, 08:53 AM For starters, the entrance is just smashing! :banana:
I love art deco, and the setbacks are really fine. Yet I think the architects sort of wimped out towards the top, and I'm disappointed with the lack of variety in the window department. ;)
Because of the entrance: 8.0. :)
DamienK August 30th, 2003, 01:30 PM I like the top, which resembles the folds of a curtain. 8/10
