To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Outside galleries 40 feet wide form a continuous promenade around the entire building. Between the prom- enade and the nave are small rooms devoted to private collections of paintings and various art displays. On either side are one-storied annex- es, 120x200 feet. Grand flights of steps lead up to the richly sculptured great portals, and the walls of the loggia of the colonnades are gorgeously adorned with mural paintings illustrating the history and progress of art. The exterior frieze and th...e pediments of the principal entrances are em- bellished by reproductions in statuary of the gems of ancient art. The construction of the entire building is necessarily fire-proof and the gen- eral tone is light gray stone. No wood is used, the materials being brick, staff, iron and glass. The very panes in the windows are set in iron frames. This structure of wondrous beauty and attraction is located at the south side of the most highly improved portion of the park, with the south front directly on the north lagoon.
