 university, office building

12-story Renaissance-revival office building completed in 1911. Designed by James F. Connell as a store-and-loft building, the 2-story rusticated limestone base support a shaft faced in buff-colored brick. At the base, the four outer piers sit on granite bases and framed twin entrances that are also flanked by polished granite columns. The two inner piers are topped with cartouches at the 2nd floor. The base is topped by a stone cornice with a simple circle above each pier. A large green metal cornice tops the middle bays of the ground floor.

The upper floors have three bays of three windows each, with continuous stone sill courses at each floor. All the windows have splayed brick lintels with keystones. There is a dentiled stone cornice above the 10th floor, supported by fluted brackets at each intermediate pier and fluted double brackets at each primary pier. At the top two floors, the main piers are fluted, and the windows within each bay are separated by rounded columns. The spandrels between the two floors are decorated with swags.

The Cornell College of Art, Architecture and Planning opened here in 2006, with studio and seminar rooms, computing facilities, and digital and analogue shop facilities.
