| International
Style, which began nationally in the 1920s, was used in York
until the 1960s. Buildings with this design are usually square
or rectangular, have a flat roof, use modern materials, and have
very few details. Glass curtain wall is also a predominant
characteristic, as are roofs without eaves. Locally, the Met-Ed
Building on Parkway Boulevard was once a great example of this
style. A faηade modernization occurred in the mid-1990s, though
the accompanying picture pre-dates this renovation.
