    What else do you know about Kingsville? I grew up there!! This is so cool! It would’ve been right near the new development across from where the Jade Palace used to be, wouldn’t it?

    I think it’s overall a beautiful building, but the conical shaped area is a bit much for me

    To me at least this building seems a lot more modern than 1889, but I also have a very limited knowledge of architecture through different time periods.
