The building, how- ever, is almost Plateresque in the style of its ornament, which reminds the visitor of that of the Hospital of Santa Cruz at Toledo, Spain. The building is over-ornamented, however, and the frontispieces and windows \would appear to much better advantage were the cornices left undecorated. The building was designed by Carleton M. Winslow. [102J THE FOREIGN ARTS BUILDING CORNER TOWER While the Plaza de Panama is completely surrounded by arcades or portalts the two corner tower...s at the east junction of the Prado and the Plaza are set at the back line of them, thereby gaining in interest and importance. Exactly of the same size they are quite different in character, and act as foils one against the other. That of the Foreign Arts Building is especially pictur- esque when seen framed in by the arches of the portal fs to the south. The heraldic decoration of the Foreign Arts Building consists of the coat-of-arms of the countries included in the Pan-American Union blazoned upon its exterior walls.
