Head draftsman Albert Kahn created the interior, which included mahogany and walnut paneling, imported marble and fine woodcarving. The main office is one and a half stories on the Riverside Drive side and two stories on the river side (from Canada’s Historic Places website). The postcard is addressed to Mr. E. V. Sabarian. |
