Originally called the John Mariner Building,
it was the first building in the city to have central
air conditioning (this was 1937!).
It was named after the man who built the
Mariner Tower. Architects
Eschweiler & Eschweiler designed the building which
features smooth limestone decorated with "speed-line"
ribs. The six-story structure is a good example of
"Moderne" design.
