ID_t8r Thank you for posting this. I had seen the artist rendition of this and was wondering if it still stood. Edit: A closer looks tells me this pic was taken in the ‘30’s (1937 presumably) Does this still stand or was it torn down?

The soviet realism statue is a bit much, but I do love the building itself.
