as an indication of the strength of Beaux-Arts classicism and Art Deco in the United States in 1920s, only a handful of American building were included in Hitchcock and Johnson's book, The International style, Which was based on material in the MoMA exhibition. the largest American International Style building included was the Philadelphai Savings Fund Society Building (1929-32) by George Howe (1886-1955) and William Lescaze (1896-1969). The entire Market Street facade was cantilevered beyond the column line, allowing the windows to wrap in a horizontal band around the corner to glorify the freedom from structural constraint. no towers quite so bold as this would be built in the United States foe the next decade, in part because of the Great Depression and World War II. Smaller structures that were build according to the dictates of the International Style, or at least in imitation of it, were often seen as cheap because they lacked presumably expensive ornament or because they ewre simply bad imitations of the European originals.
