The Military Hollowed out this section of wall in the early 20th century: at the time it wanted to increase ventilation, and no longer needed to worry about enemy artillery fire, so it could afford to compromise the bombproof wall. Today, this change allows you to see the construction of the building. The interior walls are brick, the exterior walls are lakebed or lake-bank stone, and the filling in the middle consists of stone and recycled brick. The brick wall was built in 1970 to cover previous alterations.
