Cordell's superior, FBI Inspector George A. Briggs ([[Lloyd Nolan]]), also appears in ''The House on 92nd Street''.

It was discovered by architectural historian [[Esther McCoy]] in 1953. She claimed architect [[George Herbert Wyman]] had been inspired by [[Edward Bellamy]]’s utopian vision of a socialist architecture in the year 2000: "a vast hall full of light, received not alone from the windows on all sides but from the dome." | + | |
