Was this one of the Ceausescu monuments that was a concrete shell never completed in his reign? I spent time in Bucharest and want to say I stayed across the road from a building just like this one that was a concrete shell just left for years unfisnished even when he was around.

This reminds me of the San Francisco public library. Very similar in design with a modern take on a classical building.
Was there something structurally wrong with the old one?

Especially as the old one on closer inspection doesn’t seem to be actually that old or fancy, just given a classical facade
