Close-up of the main entry of the Mullen Building. The brick work is simply stunning. And the delicate ironwork overlaid onto the windows in the doors and transom are exquisite.

The entire building reads as flamboyant but with a sense of gravitas.

A close-up of the Mullen Building's entry tower and the amazing red-brick vertical projections that are individually a master-class in masonry and abstract brick expressionism.

The red-brick projections are applied as oversized pilasters with a parapet at the top but evoke so many things: frozen flames, lava cascading down a masonry wall, mineral crystals. The faceted detailing within each of the red-brick "pillars of flame" is intense.
