Exterior materials are limestone, granite, and bright green glass windows. Intersecting curves and angles at the building's base focus attention on the entrance, which angles out to the corner of Church Street and 4th Avenue.
In the building's early days, the L&C sign at its apex functioned as a weather beacon, changing color to indicate the weather forecast.
