They kind of borrowed the Chanel logo there. (Too bad they are not the doors to the executive restroom, I could have made a cool Chanel Number 2 joke.)

Beautiful! I've been lucky to see gorgeous Art Deco in Canada, such as Montreal's downtown area and a beautiful bank in Halifax. The guard there was told me that the decoration had been a work project during the Depression years. Banks may have been villains at times, but this one created jobs. In keeping with Halifax being a port city, the decor focussed on marine life and ships.
