Pearl Street lobby features spectacular Art Nouveau skylight with repeating plant pods. Lightwell: The Pearl Street lobby features a skylight adjacent to the elevators (at the right in the photo). In the original U-shaped building design, the elevators and the skylight filled the "cutout" section of the U shape, with offices receiving light from either the outside of the building or the interior lightwell. The lightwell is about 30' wide with a depth of about 68'. The lightwell was infilled in the 1980 restoration, adding an additional 1,400 square feet of office space. The lobby skylight is now artificially backlit (above the skylight).
