...face turned to his own tomb on the Red Square. Steps 492 ft. wide lead from the street up to a colonnaded arcade opening into the amphitheatres with back-to-back stages. The larger, which will be decorated with a mammoth panorama of the Revolution, seats 20,000; the smaller 6,000.

The base of the Palace will be marble and granite; the rest, tufa, a purple-red volcanic stone found...
