Which of the following buildings is example of a structure primarily built in the Art Deco architectural style?

The story behind the answer

Niagara Mohawk Building is a classic Art Deco landmark (1932) in Syracuse, built as the headquarters of the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation. It showcases hallmark Deco features: stepped setbacks, bold geometric patterns, aluminum and chrome accents, sunburst motifs, and lightning-bolt imagery celebrating the machine age and electricity. Its illuminated “Spirit of Light” figure on the façade epitomizes Art Deco’s fascination with speed, power, and modernity.

By contrast, Taipei 101 is neo-futurist/postmodern, One Detroit Center is postmodern with neo-Gothic cues, and Westendstrasse 1 is a postmodern Frankfurt tower. Memory tip: Art Deco = 1920s–30s glamour, geometry, and gleaming metals; a power company building festooned with lightning (Niagara Mohawk) fits that style perfectly.
