I absolutely love it!!

What an incredible building that must have been in its heyday.

I had to look up its history on Wikipedia. Quite interesting. Too bad that so many artifacts were removed during the time that the building was left unprotected. Glad to read that it is being restored a little at a time. Hopefully one day it will be back to its former glory.

Thanks for sharing these photographs. :-)
