^that building would probably have had stainless steel, aluminum, or aother metal for window frames, especially being Art Deco. While I kind of agree with the point you are making, especially when you're talking, say, a Victorian house, yes, modern windowframes stick out terribly. But in this case, this is an office building, the reflective insulated glass panes are pretty much a necessity.
It IS a gorgeous building, by the way. Art Deco at its best.
