The history surrounding this building was truly amazing and it is sad that the treasures that were deep inside are now lost forever.

Each room was themed differently complete with artisan touches that would be unthinkable to re-create today....a truly sad loss Having been one of the last tennants of this building, I can only say it was truly a marvel of design and period style.
