rectangular windows have been inserted into those great arched openings, but that's not unusual. The brick work is amazing. The mason must have honed the brick by hand to get the correct wedge shapes for the window arches. Silvered roofing material has been used to waterproof the area between the parapet and the cornice. Not ideal, but at least the cornice hasn't been ripped off and parged with concrete like so many others. I'm also impressed that the bay hasn't been reclad with vinyl or aluminum. There are plenty of examples of that on Clark Street.
