What a great picture, not only for the suits and long dresses of the students but also for that very interesting staircase on the front of the building. Thanks for pulling this one out and sharing it!

It is an interesting staircase, isn’t it? I like the weathered look of the photograph and the matte.

Yep, covered stairs trying to keep as much water off the steps (students and staff too) as possible so as to reduce slipperiness (new word I made up! HA!).
