of Modern Art to the south. Facade The original nine-story facade is clad with pink Milford granite. The granite is divided into rusticated blocks, though the grooves of the rustication are less deep on upper stories. The facade is divided into three tiers, with horizontal band courses separating the bottom, middle, and top sections of the building. Each of these sections, measuring three stories high, have double-height arched windows at the bottom. There are also carved marble shields on the third and sixth stories, which depict the eighteen universities or colleges that most of the members attended. Beneath the shields are inscriptions with the universities' names in Latin, sculpted by Daniel Chester French. These seals were commissioned at a cost of $1,000 each () and were funded by members who were alumni of the respective colleges. The corners of the building have slightly projecting rusticated piers reaching its full height. On the first story, there are six arched windows on 54th Street, three on each side of the decorative main entrance; there are also five similar windows on Fifth Avenue. There are keystones above each of the window, which depict mythological characters such as satyrs, nymphs, and the gods Pan and Bacchus. The 54th Street entrance consists of a massive arch flanked by a pair of rusticated columns, above which is a lintel, as well as a carved head in the archway's keystone, which depicts Pallas. The archway as a whole is designed in the Doric order. The columns consist of alternating sections with two primary motifs: decorated flutes and bands ornamented with foliage that encloses the club's monogram, as well as the initials of universities and colleges from which the club's members graduated. The entablature is adorned with triglyphs, metopes, and mutules, which are designed to harmonize with the columns. The third-story mezzanine contains rectangular openings above each of the windows (eight on 54th Street and six on Fifth Avenue), which alternate with French's carved marble shields. There are four shields each on 54th Street and Fifth Avenue. The middle section also has double-height arched windows on the fourth story: seven on 54th Street and five on Fifth Avenue. Outside some of these arched windows are ornate balconies with iron railings. These consist of a long balcony on Fifth Avenue (spanning the center three windows there) and three short ones on 54th Street (spanning one window each). These balconies
