[QUOTE="MreSmartypants, post: 2657667, member: 761654"] It's called Classical Revival style. It was very popular at the time (1900). Public buildings in this time were seen almost as temples--courthouses, post offices, city hall buildings, even police stations and bus depots were built to look like ancient Greek and Roman temples. Think of it as a temple of learning if you like. [/QUOTE]
