Area

 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.
