the good thing is they left this neo-Gothic building standing.. sad that it is empty.. but good that they kept it in perfect shape if i am correct that is.. the outside looks that way.. i fear the lower part might be modernized.. but let's stay hopeful :D thing is.. if they break this down.. they never have money and skills to rebuild it this way again

What a super building Richard, I have to agre with efron though, it is sad that it isn't used to its full potential. I could live on the top floor, I would have course need access to the roof area. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!
