Examples

“If a strip on one side, even four yards in width, were bought up by the Board of Works, and the Board itself were to build one handsome block, with shop-fronts beneath and suites above; if a bye-law were made enforcing façadal uniformity in other blocks; if the street were paved with asphalte or wood, and well lighted; and withal, if a sloping, glass covered-way were erected over the pavement running the whole length thereof upon each side, would there be very much opposition on the part of tradesmen who must eventually benefit by this?”

“But if they meant merely to make a fine front to their church, as one might use gold and leather and make a fine cover to a book, their fault was wholly pardonable; for they missed merely the refinement of taste which makes a façadal design appropriate by deriving it out of the exigencies of the nave and aisles which are there terminated.”

“Façadal orientation toward Jerusalem is demonstrable in several pre-70 synagogues as well, both inside and outside of the land of Israel.”
