Building, United States Express (construction) #2 Rector St.
Taken from a rooftop across the street of the United States Express Co. with steel sash awning type windows on facade.

An elaborate neo-Renaissance tower which dominates Trinity Churchyard, 2 Rector Street sports highly ornate terra-cotta cladding at the base and on the upper stories. Other notable features are the oculus windows and elaborate life-size angels with out-stretched arms. This 23-story building was built as a headquarters and speculative office venture by the U.S. Express Company, a railway delivery service.
