Facts:
The building's fourteen setbacks are reminiscent of
a "para"mountain and the building top
with the stylized globe and clock is illuminated at night.
The setback below the clock faces is flanked by three-story tall scrolls,
making the whole look like a gigantic desk clock.
The ornamentation reflects the glamour
of the movie business of the Paramount Company.
At night, the setbacks are spotlit to form the classic
wedding-cake tiers of a New York building floating above Broadway.
