![The image depicts a large, ornate building with Gothic architectural elements such as pointed arch windows and decorative tracery. The structure is symmetrical, featuring two prominent towers capped with conical roofs on either end of the facade. Between these towers are sets of arched windows arranged in horizontal bands across multiple stories. Notably, there's a central section that has three large rose-colored stained glass panels separated by stone columns.
The building stands within what appears to be an institutional or communal setting. In front is a spacious courtyard with a fountain at its center and neatly trimmed grass around it. The area seems well-maintained, suggesting regular upkeep. Various trees are scattered throughout the grounds providing shade and adding greenery to the environment.
A person can be seen in the foreground near the fountain's edge, likely walking or standing still while observing their surroundings. This individual adds a sense of scale to the building, emphasizing its grand size compared to an average human figure.
The photo is rendered in black-and-white, which contributes to its vintage feel and highlights contrasts between light and shadow on the architecture. The overall composition suggests that this photograph might have been taken during or around early 20th century due to the architectural style of Medical Hall at American University located in Beirut [between 1910 and 1946].](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/663/214/127/400/075/original/6514bfeebcd22d32.jpeg)
