Oh my. Even in this ruined state, the beauty of the stone work shines through. Spectacular architecture.

I agree with Toot. Thanks for posting the old pictures. It's kind of sad seeing the old ones compared to these. Such a shame.

It looks so much like a castle. It probably was better built than most buildings today. What a shame to tear it down really. Its sad it couldn't have been reused. It would've cost alot of $$ to fix it up though I'm sure. Since it looks like the roof was gone.(and whatever else) What a shame!! Thanks for the picture, Motts!!
