Remarks:
Stanley Tigerman is the architect of the bulding; Mary Block was commissioned to do the sculpture. The 1992 SOS! Survey form listed the sculptor as Helen Aberdon, but IAS cataloger could find no evidence to support that artist attribution. Chicago Tribune articles cite Mary Block as the artist.
