The lovely mosaic dome on a downtown building

In 1928, with the economy roaring, the head honchos at the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation must have wanted to make a bold and progressive statement.

The mosaic depicts Commerce “uniting the hemispheres with electricity,” explains New York Songlines.
