What a shame that such an elegant building has fallen into such a sad state. The stained glass window is gorgeous and the staircase that winds up the wall beside it is sheer elegance! <br /><br />I guess it could be worse and the building could have either been "improved" by horrible modernization or torn down in the name of "progress", but it's like watching a slow death, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Will a knight on a white horse appear with deep pockets to restore this jewel to it's former glory? I certainly and fervently hope so!Mary Sibleynoreply@blogger.com
