Foch Hospital
Do you recognize Franklin Roosevelt Avenue with City Hall in the background? A beautiful stone and brick building stands on the right : this is the entrance to the concierge’s office of fashion designer Charles Frederick Worth’s property. Now missing its right side, this “Snail Gate” offers passersby a number of sculpted symbols: the head of Hercules above the carriage entrance, a caduceus, a winged fist, and of course snails on its metal grille and on either side of its pediment.
