Moorish revival on the plains

The Mitchell Corn Palace reminds me a bit of the Brighton Pavilion.

 

"Rapp and Rapp," the architects, were brothers George Leslie (1878-1941) and Cornelius Ward Rapp (1861-1926). They were originally from Carbondale IL, and were educated at the University of Illinois - where I am sure they learned all about corn!
