Excerpt from The Architect and Engineer, Vol. 82: July December, 1925

The entrance is placed in a large arched niche which runs up through the first three stories. It is marked by a very interesting group which tells the story Of the power industry and forms a rich decoration at the central point. The decorative interest and form of this central feature is carried around the building by an arcade running through the first two stories, each arch being decorated by the head Of a Mountain sheep, reminiscent of the high mountains and snow fields, the source of the water power on which this industry is based. The heavy band above marks the division between base and the main shaft of the building, just as the band at the top of the Shaft marks the division between the base and the crowning motive.
