We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
SOME OUTSTANDING EXAMPLES OF RECENT CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES
Fronts . . . .
AN INVITING TRANSPARENCY has been given the crab orchard stone front of the Parsons, Flushing, L. I., N. Y., by the glazed boxoffice and glass entrance doors.
THE USUAL OVERHANGING MARQUEE is replaced on the front of the Colorado, Pasadena, Calif., by a simple vertical attraction board. A boxoffice recessed in a side wall allows free passage into the lobby. The geometric pylon is an attention-getter.
A STRIKING FACADE of light brick, lime¬ stone, and marble dominates the front of the Flower, Takoma Park, Md. An enclosed boxoffice is centered between the doors.
Lobbies and Foyers . . . .
J
LARGE LATTICE WORK AND APERTURES to accommodate growing foliage are incorporated in the ceiling of the lobby of the Baldwin, Los Angeles, as seen from the beautifully appointed foyer. The latter is faced with plate glass, while rough redwood on the bac.< wall and Formica doers acd eierance.
WALL-TO-WALL CARPETING IN A LEAF PATTERN covers the floor of the foyer of the Odeon, Ottowa, Canada, while stair rails of stainless steel add a note of burnished splendor. The location of the candy bar, constructed of light woods, is emphasized by the patterned wall behind and down lights above.
THE CANDY, SODA, AND ICE CREAM BAR is the focal point of interest in the lobby of the Colony, Baltimore, Md. Although the terrazzo floor and cove ceiling are attractive in themselves, the entire treatment has been subordinated to emphasize the confection stand. In short, accent is mostly on merchandise.
REMOVABLE METAL ACOUSTIC PANS, which may be taken out for servicing equipment installations above, form the ceiling in the foyer of the Linden¬ hurst, Lindenhurst, L. I., N. Y. Passage into standee area is at either side of the mirror. The steps to the loge level are carpeted without a pattern.
