I love how the "rediscovery" of Ancient Egypt captured people’s imaginations to the point of it inspiring an entire trend in architecture, especially in smaller projects like this. Some of my favourite examples are Brunel’s Clifton Suspension Bridge and New York’s Croton Distributing Reservoir (long gone, unfortunately).

It is a striking looking building. It does seem small though, so I can see why they redid it.

Stone facade with the rest of the building being unadorned wood siding?

Something similar, the first Union Station in Springfield, MA, built 1839, was also Egyptian revival

The quality of the pictures is notable. I’d love to see a better scan.
