Overview
Among the things the designation covers are the bar, marble pool, staircases, fixtures, surfaces, hanging sculptures by Richard Lippold and chain curtains in the window. Taken together, in the words of the commission, they create ''among the finest International Style interiors in the United States.'' In the words of the lawsuit, the designation ''has the effect of restricting that space for use as a restaurant, particularly as a result of the inclusion of personal property within the designation.'' At the time of designation, the commission chairman, David F. M. Todd, said about the interiors: ''There could be other uses. This is not tying in a restaurant for the lifetime of the designation, but the preservation of one of the most elegantly refined and beautifully proportioned and richly created spaces in the modern movement, the height of the Miesian period.''
