palazzo in stile a tre piani

Explanation:
Per "fine arts buildings" si intendono i palazzi costruiti negli Stati Uniti nei vari stili architettonici europei: gotico, romanico, rinascimentale ecc.

Vedi ad esempio:
The Fine Arts Building dates back to the construction boom of the 1920's. The Building was envisioned as a cultural mecca for Los Angeles. The floors above the ornate exhibition hall would be devoted to artist studios and workshops. Here, gifted tenants could create and display their wares in a building which would be, in itself, a work of art.
In their commitment to excellence, the Fine Arts Building Company retained the architecture firm of Walker and Eisen, who are noted in history for their substantial contribution to Los Angeles architecture. The architects discarded original plans to face the building in stone. Terra-Cotte, they decided, owuld permit more intricte ornamentation. The building's exterior, with its ornate Romanesque entrance, arched high above decorative bronze doors was patterned after early Christian churches. The building features a magnificent two story entrance lobby of molded terra cotta and colored tile with a fountain surrounded by sculptured figures and seventeen bronze showcases.

edificio a tre piani, dedicato alle Belle Arti

Explanation:
Oltre ai validi suggerimenti dati qui sopra, aggiungo che il termine "fine art building" è il più delle volte associato all'edificio dedicato allo studio delle Belle Arti presso università e college; quindi non necessariamente d'epoca o in stile, ma in cui si svolgono corsi, esposizioni, ecc. Quindi: Fine Arts Building, Biology Building, Natural Sciences Building e così via; l'equivalente in italiano è "edificio" (edificio di fisiologia, ecc.), ma da noi le Belle Arti fanno di solito una cosa a sè, come Accademia.
