Monumental Art Deco Cathedral Form Secretary Desk platform Maker's label remains legibleMonumental Gothic Art Deco skyscraper form secretary cabinet executed in stained oak, strongly reminiscent of the Kansas City Power & Light Building and related American "cathedrals of commerce" architecture of the early 1930s.
