smc exterior
The entrance is in a screen wall shaped like a segment of a cylinder with the curve facing outwards, and the top cut in a parabolic curve. This wall is in rough-cut limestone blocks, with thin horizontal red brick stripes. The semi-circular entrance canopy is inserted within the cylindrical curve, and is supported by a single square pier.
