The Trend to
Color
Architects recognize the increasing trend to color in all classes of buildings— both in delicate tints and in vivid color contrasts.
The Ashland Boulevard Auditorium —with its warm brown field in Mottled Glazed Terra Cotta; with its octagon and round columns and plain surfaces of window trim in Cream Satin Enamel; with its ornamentation in Polychrome in varying shades of yellow, green, brown, red and old ivory on backgrounds of blue—is a striking example of this new trend to color.
Color has an important place in architecture—andNorthwesternTerraCotta offers unlimited color possibilities.
