Chanin Building Gate, 1928

We have 2 images of Chanin Building Gate, 1928 .

Pair of gates, each identical except that gate -1 has handle. This gate composed of two sections: a smaller tall rectangular section (positioned at outer left side) and a larger trapezoidal section (that joins with paired gate), the two sections hinged together with two large hinges. Inside smaller section are 14 cogwheels stacked up irregularly; along the bottom edge a border made up of straight and diagonal lines. Larger section has radiating pattern of bolts of electricity or lightening and sky-scraper-like shapes that emanate from lower right inside corner. Four concentric rings of cogwheel-like form also emanating from lower right inside corner. Bolts of electricity, cogwheels, spirals, and other shapes interspersed along inside edge. Bottom edge has a border of stacked coins.
