The mansard roof of the original building was also seen as overly large compared to the other stories.

The masonry construction of the original building was deemed to be strong enough to support the steel skeleton of the extra floors. The interior was designed to be fireproof and contained iron floor beams that generally spaced 6 feet (1.8 m) apart. Flat arches, made of hollow concrete blocks, were placed between each set of beams, molded into angled blocks to resemble voussoirs .
