[Structure of the Main Building]
The outer wall uses a structure in which exterior stones are stacked on interior bricks. Granite was used for the exterior of the underground and first floors, and andesite for the upper floors. The structure of the building was unaffected even when the Great Kanto Earthquake struck Tokyo in 1923.
