I am so glad to see terra cotta used again! It adds something very special to just about every building it has ever been placed upon. It says "Class" & "Style" & "Permanence" in a way that just glass alone can not. Stone is beautiful, however terra cotta has something different about it. A different quality altogether. Like on 111 W 57th St. it makes a statement! Here on One Vanderbilt it is understated and beautiful. And as stated before it compliments its stately neighbor, the Chrysler. Perfect choice!
