Check out the GORGEOUS lobby of the Lansing Board of Water and Light’s John Dye Water Conditioning Plant, featuring powerful murals by WPA artists, a double-staircase, original glass block, terrazzo floors, and Deco details everywhere. The photos above are just a taste. Articles and great slide slow in this Lansing State Journal article:
The mythical Greek water carrier Aquarius graces the front of the building, surrounded by small children, representing Lansing, who are receiving a sprinkling of water.
The 30-foot high windows are atop doors made of heavy metal, brass and copper.
The building is the Lansing Board of Water & Light’s John Dye Water Conditioning Plant on South Cedar Street. Thousands of people drive by the structure daily, most with with no idea of the beauty within.
