Notes
  • Significance: An excellent example of the "Modern Style" of the 1920's, a short-lived heroic style with roots in late Art Nouveau and German Expressionism with emphasis on masses rather than volumes. A more direct influence on the forms came from two New York buildings whose profile was determined by the 1916 Zoning Law requiring setbacks for multi-story buildings. / The Richfield Building, by Morgan, Walls, & Clements, was one of the best examples of the 20's, which exuberantly integrated the arts into architecture. It reflects the style growing out of the New York setback laws of 1916, which fruited, then died in the 30's - a style combining Cubism, applied art and exterior color. Like Hood's American Radiator Building in New York, the skin of the Richfield was black and gold. This set of drawings is based on the architects' original working drawings of 1928-29, supplemented and corrected according to photographic records. Demolition of the building was begun in November, 1968.
