Its architecture is a mixture of Romanesque and Arabesque happily blended. That part of the building toward the corner of College and Chapel streets, near the site of the historic "fence," is to be partly circular in form and to have twelve sides. The stone work above the entrance arches will be magnificent. The arches...
