The completed building.

Twelve conditions are drawn at 1:6: parapet, horizontal and expansion joints, storefront head, sill and jamb, inside and outside corners, base, the concrete-wall plan detail and the roof-wall transition.

The stone-look field on the west elevations is a repeating pattern of three panel sizes, counted per size for each elevation.

The same wall where it stops, at the parapet and over the storefront head.
