The last time I was in that building was about 2018. Had to go in through the boiler room and it looked like something Stephen King had written about. I didn’t think it could be restored. Just wow!!!!!

Loved that they brought such a beautiful building back to the community. I only wish it didn't look so sterile in the lobby and halls. Mix of hotel and hospital feel.

Pretty sweet building. Cool enough go out of the way for photos on a road trip. Currently being renovated into apartments. Plenty of photos on the outside but I've found a sweet message on the inside. Thanks to whoever is restoring this.
