What the image shows
A black-and-white photograph taken from an elevated viewpoint, looking down on a large, multi-storey stone building under construction with rows of tall windows and an arched entrance at the corner. A steel frame with scaffolding and a large domed roof structure rises on the left, with a construction fence and worksite in the foreground. A streetcar runs along the tracks on the left, and a plaque in the lower right corner lists the architects and contractors and gives the sheet number 32A.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
