The "Neo-Baroque" architecture of the Old Building
combines the Baroque style seen in the pillars and dome with
the Renaissance style represented in the orderly placing of
windows. The Old Building is said to have been modeled on
Belgium's central bank building.
Let's take a look at the photos of the building below.
