Description
Photograph of an angled view of the front entrance of the Exhibition Building, [s.d.]. This Romanesque-style building stands about three stories tall. Some of its unique features include decorative arches near the roof, massive articulated walls, large arches surrounding the entryways, and barrel vaulted doorways. The three visible entrances have highly decorated porticos with decorative panels above the door. Above each entrance, a sculpture of two infant children holding onto an engraved seal can be seen. The seal above the center entrance has a flag pole extending from behind it. A rope originating from the flagpole is tied to one of the decorative lamps that flank the central doorway. Two small bushes sit in the foreground at left.
