“GRAY” AND “VARIEGATED”
Chosen for Color THE first unit of St. Louis’ $15, 000, 000 Municipal
Plaza is their $4, 000, 000 Court House. The Court House is of Grecian design and will tower 380 feet skyward.
To secure color-tone, Gray Indiana Limestone was
selected for the lower stories, with Variegated for the upper stories. The solid, fine-grained Gray with just the slightest variation in color-tone will give an impression of great strength for the base. The upper stories in
Variegated will break the monotony of so large a structure in one-color stone.
You will find it true that Gray for the lower stories
and Variegated above, especially in high buildings, always gives an interesting effect. Therefore it is well to specify “Gray Indiana Limestone for the lower stories and
Variegated Indiana Limestone for the upper stories. ” And it is well to add this clause: “from quarries whose stone has been tested and approved by the United States Bureau of Standards. ”
