N. Y. Brick Masonry Council Builds Unusual Exhibit
To the amazement of thousands of commuters the game of sidewalk superintendent can be played in warmth and comfort this week as men from locals of the Bricklayers', Masons' and Plasters International Union and the Mason Tenders District Council of New York erect a brick and banking display on Grand Central Terminal's commuter level.
The unusual exhibit, whose purpose is to stress the beauty, durability, economy and flexibility of brick, is being sponsored jointly by the Metropolitan Brick Masonry Council and the Federation Bank and Trust Company. The display's interior will consist of a classroom and project area in addition to a section designed to resemble a modern banking office. The office will be manned by a bank employee qualified to answer questions and discuss details concerning mortgages, loans and financing.
The exhibit's exterior facade will be composed of brick panels featuring various types of brick construction and including a wide variety of bondings, textures and colors. Brick and metal grill work will be combined with the partitions to effect a feeling of spaciousness and permit glimpses within.
The 600 square foot exhibit, designed by architect John Brady of Oppenheimer, Brady and Lehrecke, will be officially opened to the public on February 9th and is expected to continue through this month.
