CHAMP
BEAUTY IN BRICK
The large number of inquiries received from readers interested in more details of the Equitable Life Insurance Company home office building, published on last month's cover of MASONRY, has prompted the editors to present these additional views of this outstanding masonry structure.
Located in Washington, D. C., the Equitable building combines the finest in Georgian architecture and skilled masonry craftsmanship. Here Architects Chatelain, Gauger & Nolan skillfully convey the qualities of enduring dependability, dignity and background-a corporate image, if you will, of the owner.
The prominent mason contracting firm of William F. Nelson has done its job well in what is truly an outstanding example of superior brick masonry. Photos by Davis Studio.

Crisp, uncluttered lines mark the entrance this beautifully proportioned building housing the headquarters of the Equitable Life Insurance Company in Washington, D. C. (top photo). Brick arches over windows and entrance follow traditional design which is carried through with brick paving and moulded units at watertable and garden wall. View of formal garden (above) gives close up of watertable and masonry detail of garden wall. Note how soft lines of brick offer warm background for shrubs and other greenery.
