    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The structure has a quadratic footprint, with morphed and rugged edges. It sports a clock tower near the bottom of the structure when viewed from above. It has several levels and rooms, with it housing around 1,100 individuals with just its auditorium alone. From this we get a greater understanding of the structure’s stature. It features several entrances throughout, including what appears to be one near the clock tower. Once more, the building materials that define the Richardsonian Romanesque style are prevalent. With that signature granite stone material as an exterior coat, it pairs with glass in the windows and arches around the structure to bring these prominent features to the forefront!! This building is also heavily inspired by the Allegheny courthouse, located a little ways away from it, and was the first Carnegie public library in the U.S. It has since been closed as a library and replaced with a different building but the structure is now reused mainly as a theater!<br />
