“One would travel far to find a more attractive business structure than the Ralston building. Without exaggeration, the word “beautiful” may be used in describing its exterior appearance, for almost every one who first gazes on its pure white walls, its pilasters and friezes in golden brown, of buff, as the artisans call it, and the ultra-marine blue, unconsciously exclaim, “What a beautiful building.”” ~~ The Miami Metropolis newspaper, February 3, 1917
