Description
Georgetown University's Healy Hall clock tower is one of Washington's most recognizable Gothic Revival landmarks, its stone spire visible from across the Potomac. Hiratsuka's 1967 woodblock renders the tower with the precision he brought to all his institutional architectural subjects, treating the Flemish Renaissance stonework with the same formal respect as a Japanese pagoda.
