Antemion Decoration at 11 Broadway

The Bowling Green Offices Building, located at 11 Broadway in Manhattan's Financial District, is a historic 21-story office building completed between 1895 and 1898. Designed by W. & G. Audsley in the Hellenic Renaissance style, it features a facade of granite at its base and white brick on the upper stories. The building was designated a New York City Landmark in 1995. The elegant decorative feature at the fourth floor features anthemions, or palmettes, a flat, floral ornament developed by the ancient Greeks that is often used in relief sculpture or painting in neoclassical architecture.
