The tower, unfortunately truncated in the 1950s, was the most striking element of the design giving the building a powerful presence on the town green. Observe the sign-off by the building committee on the elevation drawing. This large scale rendering of an entry canopy bracket for the Fire Station is a fine rendered detail.
