The Lawrence Arts Center - formerly the Lawrence City Library, as you can see if you zoom in. Built over 100 years ago; I guess it has an excuse for looking fancy. :)

Oh, that's really nice. I love the columns--Corinthian?

That's what it looks like, yes. I'm not always the most conversant on the fine details of the column orders. ^^;;

There's a number of neoclassical buildings on campus; have to see if I can get a few more pics for you, if you're interested.

I'd love that, but only if it's not too much trouble. =)

I am actually suck at architecture terminology; I know Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns because we learned them in 5th grade, and everything else? Pffffft. :p

Hate to correct you, but the Carnegie Building is no longer the Lawrence Arts Center, it is now used as a general purpose community building (my yoga class meets there. The tile pattern in that room supposedly indicates where the shelves used to be). The Lawrence Arts Center is now in the modern looking building on New Hampshire, across from the parking garage.

Agh. Drat; it somehow seemed appropriate to put the Arts Center in that historic building. Though I do imagine they'd like having larger quarters...

I have fond memories of seeing my first Imagination Workshop shows there, back in '91-92.
