...decorations consist of two oblong panels, arched at the top, and in plain view from either the top or the bottom of the main staircase. They are uniform, in shape and design, with the three windows that flank the stairway. The light, coming freely from both sides, gives the visitor ample illumination to study the figures with care from the balcony, which is on a level with the paintings. In Mr. Sargent's other Boston murals, the lighting and position are such that careful study is not convenient...
...accordance with Mr. Busch's desire, the Museum has been made essentially German in character, the plans being drawn by Professor Bestelmeyer, of Dresden, one of Germany's foremost architects.

Besides the regulation photographs of the Faculty, members of the class, etc., the 1911 Album gives large pictures of twelve of the gates, class groups of unusual size, the names of the men under the group...
...whole building embraces an oblong rectangular space of about 130 feet on Kirkland street and about 200 feet on Divinity avenue and Frisbie place. But the Museum proper consists of two wings of unequal length, placed at right angles to each other, the longer one facing Divinity avenue, the shorter one stretching from Divinity avenue to Frisbie place, parallel with Kirkland street, but set back from it some 100 feet. The space between the two wings is conceived of as an ornamental court, with shrubs, statuary, and waterbasins, connected with the Museum itself by cloister-like arcades running along Kirkland...
