marble facades
Elegant building exteriors
Marble facades are the exterior faces of buildings clad in marble, projecting permanence and prestige.
Banks, government buildings, and monuments favor them for their association with classical architecture and institutional authority.
The term sometimes extends to imitation materials designed to achieve the same effect: The lobby's marble facade turned out to be painted plaster.
