"The main lobby of Time & Life linked entrances from Forty-eight and Forty-ninth streets and from the centers' private street. A long, narrow space two-and-a-half stories tall, it boed egntly on one side to indicate the presence of massed elevator banks. WIth its muted display cases, bare plaster walls, and circular light coves, the lobby was described as "Rockefeller Center's best examble to date of how much can be achieved by the simple expedient of leaving almost everything out" (Stern. 1987. Page 666).
