Mosse House

I walked back the two blocks, admiring the modern facade of my office, the Mosse House, when it came into sight. Faced with shiny black tile and sensuous curving windows, the building arced to follow the street and stood tall and plain, like an elegant modern cake. After the original building was damaged during the Spartacus uprising at the end of the war, Old Mr. Mosse hired the noted expressionist architect Erich Mendelsohn to remodel it. The Mosse House was not as curvaceous and provocative as the tower he’d built for Albert Einstein, but it was still shocking enough to annoy the other newspaper owners.
