If I lived in this region I'd go see this wonderful building whenever I could. Is this the Arts and Craft style? It's not full-on Jugendstil, I don't think.
Well, I don't know what to call the style - Arts and Craft is an English movement...so I'm not sure I would call it that...but...hmmm...I'm not the right one to ask...
