It's a special place to work and not a day goes by when I don't appreciate the architectural brilliance of the building. <br /><br />Now that I know this history it has an even more special significance. <br /><br />Fantastic job of research. <br /><br />Eric Futterman<br />EAF Custom CommunicationThe Progressivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905634355142105768noreply@blogger.com
