It looks like they took the plans from the main branch in Tuscaloosa and made minor alterations to the outside. Birmingham has a great design review board with specific guidelines for historic districts and commercial zones. Huntsville needs to step up and start to demand better architecture, specially in key districts such as downtown.

Great cities have architecture that fits in a congruent pattern. None of the mismatch too common in most cities. Buildings should stand out in the way that they fit in.
