COLOR - the keynote of Modern Architecture

Color is life! The vigor, beauty and influence of color have been closely associated with architecture for many centuries, and throughout the world today there is a greatly renewed interest in the employment of color in building construction. Color, in fact, is the keynote of modern architecture, and no material is better able to express the cheerfulness and attractiveness of color than Atlantic Terra Cotta, a practical, economical and thoroughly dependable material for general building use.
The Sun Room of the Kirby Memorial Health Center at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., illustrated above, would indeed be a cheerless playroom for children were it clothed in a drab monotone. The wails and pilasters in pleasing contrasts impart a delightful setting which
is enhanced by two beautiful allegorical panels, one at each end of the room. These Atlantic Terra Cotta panels, in eight colors and lustrous gold glaze, are probably the most brilliantly colored panels ever executed in any material, an everlasting tribute to those connected with the design and construction of this building.
