Interesting how few windows there are on the bottom of this building, I wonder if it's related to how pedestrian unfriendly streets in the US are?

- probably_wrong 3y agoAre you, like me, confusing the main picture illustrating the article (which is the Harold Washington Library in Chicago) with the building the author talks about (which is the Board of Education Building in Philadelphia)? Because the Board of Education Building seems to have an adequate number of windows [1]. The Chicago Library does have few windows, but I'd attribute that to its purpose (the lower floor contains an auditorium, multi-purpose room, and exhibit hall) [2].
