You can tell that this side of the arch needs an update on some painting.
It looks like they are working their way around the building with the paint job.

Samuel Yellin was the artisan responsible for all the ironwork.
In the lower right window you can see the display cases for the shells and marine life Vanderbilt collected from all over the world.
