XXXVIIBUILDING THE GREAT TURRET XXXVII BUILDING THE GREAT TURRET STORY above story, all glass and iron, rises theshop where the great turrets are built, and belowthe floor in deep pits their bases stand. This is theother end of the shop in the previous picture. Theopen part of the turret made a design—the Pediment ofWar and Labour. Here was the Greek idea carried outby British workmen, and no British artist has ever seenit. It was left to me. But from something of this sortin Greece, Greek artists got their scheme of decorationwhen they were building their temples.
