The Thomaston Building, located at 8 Bond Street, Great Neck, New York, is a nationally-landmarked 4-story commercial office building. Containing 25,000 square feet of space, the building has 15 office spaces and 2 sidewalk-level restaurants. A 1981 basement-to-rooftop restoration effort fully modernized the building with contemporary amenities, energy efficiencies and private marble bathrooms. Management-sponsored programs such as 8at8, a tenant business networking and education group, help build community and offer business development skills. Unusually, some of the offices feature residential accommodation. The name of the building is attributed to Thomaston, Maine, the hometown of Lillius Gilchrist, wife of William Russell Grace, future mayor of New York and founder of the W.R.Grace Company. == Architecture and Design == The Thomaston Building was designed by James O’Connor and constructed in the Station Plaza neighborhood of Great Neck, near the company’s global headquarters at 11 Middle Neck Road, also an O’Connor project. A four-story brick mews in Georgian Revival style, the structure’s distinguishing characteristics include a cross-gabled roof, period showroom windows, round occulous windows and iron-tinted brickwork. Above the first story, a wood belt course with dentil molding separates the floors. On permanent display is a private collection of historic American flags and replicas. In 1978 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a local historic landmark by the Village of Great Neck Plaza. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomaston Building - 8 Bond Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
