Ack, considering that this was the early 1970s and the architect used the word "flamboyant" to describe the new style, I shudder to imagine what the addition would have looked like.

When I was in New York last week, we stopped by the ESB, and this building looks even more imposing in person. It seems so much more solid than the glass and steel towers its size that I've seen.
