Recieving Hall

We went to an appointment with a lawyer this afternoon.  Nothing serious...just some deeds and wills and other stuff ya do when you reach a certain age.  
Anyway, this formal entryway, complete with wide marble staircase (it was behind me when I took the picture), is the imposing sight meant to impress young people with the might, majesty, and all-seeing presence of the living God.  It was constructed as a YMCA building.
