4. The White House
Unlike most prewar apartment houses, where ornamentation or the pattern of the facade materials created a distinct aesthetic, the aptly named White House makes a statement with its color. Virtually the entire building is white, with trim limited to the black cornice. The contemporary fast food signage, which some may see as detracting from the character of the building, seems to intensify its radiant character by inadvertently providing chromatic counterpoints.
Although not typical, it nevertheless is a building of its time in many respects, as the ornate details above the entry and its overall symmetry illustrate.
