Additional Details:
The Ford Building is brilliantly illuminated at night. It is of gleaming white with bands of ever changing brilliant color encircling the parapet of the circular rotunda. From the rotunda a great torch of light 200 feet broad at the base reaches a mile into the heavens, produced by 24 36-inch projector searchlights developing 600,000,000 candle power.
