Armory Square |
Built by Syracuse University in 1897 on donated land, this Renaissance
Revival building was originally a combined commercial venture and
quarters for the University's Law School. Like the renaissance
palazzo, small ground floor shops face the street, with the grand foyer
and stairway leading to the main public floor above. The very high
arched windows of the main floor are typical of the style. Above this
are the office floors, topped by an elaborate metal cornice.
