Additional Description: "The Institute’s award-winning former headquarters (now occupied by the Blue School) deftly combines historic preservation and modern whimsy, in a design that suggests nothing so much as a steamship tied up at the South Street Seaport. The architects restored a 1799 ship chandlery, modeled an extension on its brick windows and storefront; and then let their nautical imaginations run riot in upper decks of porcelain-enameled steel panels and railings, and a yardarm flying the Institute’s colors."
