King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center at NYU

Judson Hall (including the tower) is an outstanding example of Italian Renaissance Eclectic architecture, enriched with a wealth of architectural details, executed in costly materials. It has a distinctly individual quality. it contributes to the beauty of Washington Square, and at the time it was built it brought a new elegance and joy to a city of red brick and brownstone. The entrance to the ten story tower is ornately decorated with horizontal bands of terra-cotta ornament, alternating with recessed brick courses. Ornamental metal grille work adorns the two windows flanking a pair of panelled wooden doors which are deeply recessed within the decorated doorway. ^[1]
