Salvation Army Rehabilitation

USA / New Jersey / West New York / West 48th Street, 535
 office building, rehabilitation center

7-story office building completed in 1940. The facade is clad in beige and orange brick, and pale-orange stone. The ground floor has a central entrance atop two stone steps, with a black metal-framed glass door and sidelight in an orange-brick surround. To either side are projecting sections of beige brick, lightly banded at the top halves, with single-windows below non-projecting orange-brick panels. Continuing outward on each side is a wider bay of triple-windows above more reddish-brick panels, and at the ends are narrow bays with metal service doors; there are projecting beige-brick piers around these bays as well, and a broad band of beige brick across the top of the ground floor, surmounted by a projecting, orange stone band course.

The upper floors have three wide bays of triple-windows with orange stone spandrels, alternating with four narrower bays of slightly-projecting beige brick with single-windows topped by splayed orange stone lintels. The roof line has a broad band of pale-orange stone, slightly recessed at the two wider outer bays, and capped by a stone coping.
