Well...
Forgive my oversight, you are correct, the over all structure IS Art Deco, I guess for me, the top and crown of the building always seemed much more Neo Gothic then Art Deco in terms of it's ornamentation. Looking at the top of 40 Wall Street reminds me much more of, oh so the top of the Woolworth Building then most other examples of NYC Art Deco.
Just MHO of course. How would you define it, out of genuine curiosity?
