Sarah Wrote That

“No matter what the modernists say—or do—there is no getting away from the fact that a Corinthian column is a swell thing.”

- pseudonymous New Yorker critic T-Square in 1927, quoted in the Times’ always awesome Streetscapes column, this edition concerning 711 Fifth Avenue, the 1926 headquarters of the brand-new National Broadcasting Company.

T-Square really needs to be an architect-turned-rapper.
