4/8 The grand lobby has a baronial fireplace, coffered ceilings, and unusually fine terra-cotta made by Brioschi-Minuti, who moved their workshop from New York City to University Avenue in St Paul at Stem's request.

5/8 SPAC also has a fantastic swimming pool on the top floor with its 1910s tilework completely intact, which as @ricknelsonmn.bsky.social points out, has no peer in the upper Midwest.
