每次从位于曼哈顿西42街这座建筑走过时，俺都要被环绕它大门的一组浮雕所吸引，并驻足欣赏一会儿。这组浮雕刻画了典型的生产和生活情景，反映一年12个月，周而复始。

附录：关于布莱恩特公园旅馆 “The Bryant Park Hotel”（网上资料）
The American Radiator Building is a landmark skyscraper located at 40 West 40th Street, in midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was conceived by the architects John Howells and Raymond Hood in 1924 and built for the American Radiator and Standard Sanitary Company. The structural form is based on Eliel Saarinen's unbuilt competition entry for Chicago Tribune building.
The architects combined Gothic and modern styles in the design of the building. Black brick on the frontage of the building (symbolizing coal) was selected to give an idea of solidity and to give the building a solid mass. Other parts of the facade were covered in gold bricks (symbolizing fire), and the entry was decorated with marble and black mirrors. Once again, the talents of Rene Paul Chambellan were employed by Hood and Howells for the ornamentation and sculptures.
In 1998, the building was sold to Philip Pilevsky for $150 million. Three years afterwards, the American Radiator Building was converted into The Bryant Park Hotel with 130 rooms and a theatre in the basement.
The landmark status of the exterior required the conversion pay special attention to the renovation of the facade decor, and prohibited proposed changes such as bigger guestroom windows. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was also the subject of Georgia O'Keeffe in 1927 in her noted painting Radiator Building - Night, New York 2012年9月15日，拍摄于纽约华尔街附近的一栋老建筑----纽约州商会大楼(Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York)。该大楼建成于1901年.

附录: 关于纽约州商会大楼 Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York (网上资料)
This massive marble building, built at the turn of the century, is notable for its grandeur and rich detail. It is outstanding today as a relatively low but impressive building surrounded by skyscrapers. The owners have preserved this fine building which stands as a symbol of the importance of the Chamber of Commerce in the community. It houses their priceless picture gallery. A splendid row of Ionic columns set on a heavy masonry base is surmounted by a handsome copper-crested Mansard roof with three great dormer windows.
Historically, this building is notable as housing the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, an organization which was founded in Fraunces Tavern in 1768.
In its use of fine materials, carving and other details, the Chamber of Commerce Building represents a fine example of French Renaissance Eclectic architecture. Through the boldness of its elements and the deep shadows they cast, it stands as a powerful design demonstrative of the importance of the Chamber of Commerce of the City.
