Window jambs One of 12 window jambs representing the months of the year. "Designed by John Wade, sculpted by Rene P. Chambellan, the jambs resemble those at the Nebraska State Capitol." - Jennifer Walkowski, Americanesque: Exploring Modern Civic Identity at Buffalo City Hall, p. 52 "Sculpted male and female heads, on bodies only
partly emerged from the wall (terminus), appear to be supporting the stone above. They progress from
stylized lines in stone to fully realistic heads. They are reminiscent of Michelangelo's
statues of slaves emerging from blocks of stone." - - "Buffalo City Hall:
An Americanesque Masterpiece," by John H. Conlin. Landmark Society of the Niagara
Frontier, Buffalo, NY, 1993. |
