==== Towers ==== [[File:15ParkRowTower.jpg|thumb|South Tower]] Above the end pavilions are a pair of circular four-story towers spanning the 28th through 30th stories. Both towers have three visible stories, as well as a fourth story in cupolas that surmount both towers. On each tower, there are cornices above the 29th story, as well as four octagonal piers, one at each corner, supporting the 30th-story dome.<ref name="NYCL p. 6" /><ref name="NPS p. 4" /> The piers separate the towers into four sides, each of which contains three bays. The bays are separated by Corinthian brick pilasters ornamented with terracotta capitals, while the floors are separated by terracotta spandrels.<ref name="NPS p. 4" /> Both domes have oculus windows and a copper-domed cupola on the 31st story.<ref name="NYCL p. 6" /><ref name="NPS p. 4" /> There are eight sheet-copper [[caryatid]]s and 16 figures on the towers that are attributed to Rhind.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="NPS pp. 4-5">{{harvnb|National Park Service|2005|ps=.|pp=4β5}}</ref> The tops of the towers both formerly supported one-story-tall [[finial]]s.<ref name="NPS p. 4" />
