Beauty Flower Poem is surrounded by the past, present and future. The Markle Building contains the decorative floral art nouveau relief patterns and neo-classical revival influences. The Markle Building is known as the first skyscraper in Hazleton. It was built in 1910 with renovations occurring in 1923 and 1928.

This is a collaborative effort between Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski and the artist.Ms. Dobash hopes to promote a positive change within the structure by providing visual art produced by herself and other community pieces created with children from the Southern region of Luzerne County.
