A close-up from another Huntington Digital Library picture shows the pedestrian entrance alongside the plainer exit for autos.

Flyingwedge posted the same interior shot of the Lower Fifth Street entrance in post #19359. Here's the view looking toward the doors.

This picture shows the entrances/exits during the late stages of construction.
