When I first arrived on campus seen this building I picture this like castle that was build in the early 1900s. I think this building reminds me a castle in Inverness from Waterford, Ireland build August 4 , 2017. I found castles really fascinating because of the build structure during the middle ages. "The castles in the middle era between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Reformation is unique. During the Middle Ages, Western Europe was in a restless slumber brought on by war, power struggles, illiteracy, and disease. But at the same time, sparks of genius were igniting that would bring new styles of art and architecture and change the world. Through it all, faith was the ever-present catalyst for artistic, intellectual, social, and political developments. Castles in Europe evolved from the first wooden forts made to lodge a garrison to spectacular stone structures able to support a small army for extended times. Each country in Europe developed its own architectural designs copying from that of the castles in other countries."(http://medieval-castles.net/)  Not just castles that interest me its the royal family like king, queen , and specially the princess of knights fighting for the land. The people of England also used architect to build weapons to fight with like bow & arrows, wooden catapult, swords and armor.
