Henry McGill's 1932 Church of the Most Precious Blood, in Queens, has a spectacular array of aluminum ornament, including a huge pierced screen around the octagonal tower. I note in the literature just a few other buildings in NYC with aluminum: an aluminum flagpole base and some spandrel panels on the Chrysler Building. Any other uses of aluminum in Manhattan come to mind, in the 1920-1940 period?
