Description

  • Content Description: Photograph of the lobby of the Sinclair Building located at 512 Main Street in Fort Worth. The floor is made with square tile, all slightly different shades. Small, darkly colored, diamond shaped tiles sit at the intersection of each group of four larger tiles. A border goes around the edges of the floor. This border is also tile with thin bands of light tile on the edges, and dark tile creating a triangular pattern. This border separates the square tiles from the polished granite that continues from the wall, which are made of the same dark granite. Two elevator doors stand in insets of the wall. Above each inset, a geometric, Art Deco arch frames a lighter granite, to showcase the doorway. The doors themselves are corrugated. Another door on another wall is framed out with the same Art Deco arch. The section of the lobby with the elevators is divided from the rest of the lobby, and it has a tray ceiling with light strips on each level. A bowl pendant hangs from the ceiling, the light inside it turned on. To the right of the photo, the lobby continues with a glass window showing a display case of jewelry.
