Synopsis

Excerpt from The Department of Physical Instruction

The building is a stone and terra cotta structure conforming in type with the Gothic style of architecture which character izes the new City College. Externally, it presents a pleasing ensemble of straight lines and right angles, with here and there a decorated arch. It is generously windowed. Sym bolic grotesque dwarf figures are placed symmetrically here and there in the terra cotta lines and sills. These grotesques are bending the bow, lifting weights, throwing the discus, and performing other feats of strength and skill.1 The building is one hundred and forty-nine feet long and seventy-seven feet wide. It contains a basement and two stories. The first story is divided by a mezzanine floor, and the second story contains a gallery.
