On the western side of the Seagram Building is a plaza made of pink granite, as well as pools and greenery. The plaza is slightly raised above the sidewalk level on Park Avenue, with three steps leading from the center of the Park Avenue frontage. A low granite retaining wall runs on either side of the flight of steps, extending around to 52nd and 53rd Streets, where they flank the building. There are marble caps atop the retaining walls on the side streets. At the eastern ends of the side-street retaining walls are granite steps from street to lobby, above which are travertine canopies. The parapets on the side streets are each wide by long and are made of Italian marble.
