The photograph shows the lobby of the O.T. Bassett Tower. Henry C. Trost designed the building which opened in 1930. The twenty-four feet square lobby is typical Trost with floors and pilasters of marble and coffered ceiling. The image also points to the use of brass. The lobby is lightened by the chandelier.
