This is a cool building. My company has done some restoration work in some of the rooms over the years and at times, if you’re left alone by yourself, you can get an odd feeling as if someone is watching you. Very spooky. This is the spot for the Lincoln Douglas debate in Galesburg.

Maybe designs can perk up your consciousness.

The bell tower doesn’t look to have been part of the original design, though. The visual mass does not reside with the massing of the rest of the structure at all. The columns are almost delicate. The only element(s) that echo the rest of the structure would be the Gothic arch, and in the bell tower, they end up with an almost mideastern look and feel. It’s jarring.
