Norman McGrath's Architecture Photographs

From the Lens on the New York Times site, a set of black & white architectural photographs by Norman McGrath. Included is this photograph of Mies van der Rohe's One Charles Center in Baltimore. This must be an older photograph, because I don't think these stairs are there anymore.

This building was the last headquarter of the Chessie System, before it was subsumed into CXS. It now is the worldwide headquarters of Peter Angelos.
