Captured from across the street at a low angle, the historic 1925 Mediterranean and Romanesque Revival-style building features a beige brick facade, a grand grand entrance with three arched doorways set under white stone archways, and decorative wrought-iron light fixtures mounted between the arches. Above the entrance, a tiled decorative band and small arched windows accent the second story, topped by a red-barrel tile roof line. Black metal railings frame the front steps leading to the main entrance along a clean concrete sidewalk\" class=\"wp-image-365499\"  \/>The Palladium Theater St. Petersburg, Florida.
