![]() Lobby display ... Part of the Larkin Gallery ... Mural is an enlarged postcard ... "You'll
notice the postcard reproduction on the wall behind the model shows a
wall to the East of the building along the Annex. That never existed as
far as I know, certainly not when the building was first completed.
There was a public school building very close to the Admin. building at
that time facing Swan. The remains of the wall existing now were to the
west of the building. That was a retaining wall separating the Larkin
from the New York Central rail yards immediately to the west of the
wall and on a level several feet higher." - Arlan Peters, June 2018
