The building has a large, curved, glass wall for the fa�ade on the building. It is overall a curvilinear building. The curvature is repeated on the other side of the building. The building is made of concrete and steel. There are large strip windows throughout the fa�ade of the building. There are large columns supporting an overhanging portion of the building. The building is a part of the Modern architectural style. To learn more see Memphis: An Architectural Guide by Eugene J. Johnson.
