Description
An account of the resource
The thirteen story Stephen Girard Building at Girard and 12th Streets was begun in 1896 as offices for the Board of the Stephen Girard Estates Trust. The new building was designed by James H. Windrim, a Girard College graduate. Windrim combined classical motifs, like the Ionic portico and entablature facing 12th Street and the eight caryatids flanking the entrance, with the latest "skyscraper" construction. This photograph shows the classical detailing on cornices and window trim. The elaborate treatment of the topmost story, with engaged Ionic columns flanking the windows, contrasts with the plainer, less easily seen street level façade on the sides and rear of the buliding.

An account of the resource
The thirteen story Stephen Girard Building at Girard and 12th Streets was begun in 1896 as offices for the Board of the Stephen Girard Estates Trust. The new building was designed by James H. Windrim, a Girard College graduate. Windrim combined classical motifs, like the Ionic portico and entablature facing 12th Street and the eight caryatids flanking the entrance, with the latest "skyscraper" construction. This photograph shows the two caryatids closest to the NW corner. They are modeled closely on the caryatids supporting the roof of the S porch of the Erectheum in Athens; Windrim's caryatids, however, serve no structural function but simply fill a space created by the greater height of the first floor of his building. A few years before Windrim's design,caryatids also appeared on the façade of the 1893 Palace of the Arts housing the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

Description
An account of the resource
The thirteen story Stephen Girard Building at Girard and 12th Streets was begun in 1896 as offices for the Board of the Stephen Girard Estates Trust. The new building was designed by James H. Windrim, a Girard College graduate. Windrim combined classical motifs, like the Ionic portico and entablature facing 12th Street and the eight caryatids flanking the entrance above the first floor, with the latest "skyscraper" construction.

Windrim combined classical motifs, like the Ionic portico and entablature facing 12th Street and the eight caryatids flanking the entrance, with the latest "skyscraper" construction. This photograph shows the classical detailing on cornices and window trim. The elaborate treatment of the topmost story, with engaged Ionic columns flanking the windows, contrasts with the plainer, less easily seen street level façade on the sides and rear of the buliding.
