  1. Glad to see such a beautiful building preserved to a great extent; but sad to see they cannot come up with some more appropriate use for such a building. Seriously, you really need parking garage so badly at the time when you cannot find any use for this building?

  2. Folks, this is not an old building. It’s a new parking garage built to look like an old building!
