Shields in spandrel panel. Reflects the influence of the cloisters nearby. Modernism had a more profound presence in Europe. Those who fled Europe at the time of buildings construction wanted to escape a sense of the history and the past and were educated in contemporary architecture trends. Both historical references and more modern style as exemplified by Art Deco are present in this Inwood neighborhood. Colonial Williamsburg was another popular influence and yet another vision of the past, that has left its imprint on this neighborhood.
