A few days ago, pictures of the interior arrived in my inbox, with the invitation to come by and take a look for scouting purposes.

    OMG ! Wha stunning features in this building and right across City Hall Park from my building!

    Have walked past it and looked up but never imagined what was inside.

    What a fantastic addition to the neighborhood this will be – hope it gets restored sooner rather than later.

    Thank you Erik for finding these gems and sharing with us.
