Armory Square |
Designed by Thompson and Churchill of New York, this is the
tallest building in Syracuse built in 1927. It was constructed on the
site of the Bastable Theatre, which burned four years earlier. It is a
fine example of the “Metropolitan” style of Art Deco, its forms
arranged in “set-backs” with vertical stripes of windows and decorated
panels to emphasize verticality. Note also the characteristic stylized
details in ceramics and brass. This building was recently
refurbished in honor of its 75th anniversary.
