Giant Palms

Mamiya Universal // Portra 400

 

"...pairs of great columns march in stately processional to the second-level entry some 425 feet away. Fluted except for a smooth band marking the change of floor levels and capped by exaggerated square capitals surfaced with red oak slats, these pillars resemble nothing so much as an alley of giant palms reaching to the intricate skylight overhead." --excerpt from "Architectural Record" profile on Stratford Square Mall, April 1982
