Some of E.1027's windows are vertical rather than horizontal bands, but still they are continuous and add flow to the interior rooms. The interior stairways are free, and there is storage plac ...

John Lennon
... McCartney shared the credit of songs written by
either one of them. The credit simply read Lennon-McCartney. The two as song
writers were a perfect mix. John had a quick artistic sense and he was easily
