Fisher Building
This picture gallery will showcase some of the Fisher Building's favored detailed ornamentation.
The first three levels of the building are glad in pink Minnesota granite, the rest of the building is covered in Beaver Dam Marvilla Marble from a quarry in Maryland.
The two eagles atop pylons over the main entrance. Their wings are open but curved forward in a sheltering gesture.
Another eagle from a main entrance pylon, spreading its wings to take flight, representing the progressive and entrepreneurial spirit of America.
God like and heroic heads over the main entrance. They were originally gold-plated but most of the gold-plating has tarnished and worn out over the years.

The upper sections of the Fisher building are lined with all sorts of small and large, fanciful gargoyles and grotesques.
Those grotesques were supposedly carved by New York City born Ulysses Ricci, an American known for his architectural sculpture.
