This building is classic example of a colonial past in a post-colonial reality. There are many ways to read this building. I offer no suggestions here, but will provide a couple of guiding questions:
1. Why this combination of ornamental styles?
2. Why is this building no longer used?
3. Why was this building built?
We no longer live in a world of obvious empires, but there was a time when the Great Powers re-made the Mediterranean into a world that only traces can be found here and there.
