It consists of a six-story tower and three-story wing, and features steep pitched slate roofs, round tourelles with conical, candle-snuffer roofs, and a neon sign on the six-story roof.[3][4][5] Additional design features include an ivory white façade, tall chimneys, wall dormers with narrow windows, and a grand patio entrance.[1][2][5]
