What a beautiful building. So good to hear that it is serving another purpose instead of being torn down. Love the reflection.

Good to know the building is still in use Mieke!

Architecture that is only functional yet they have attempted to make it ornate too. The architecture on Our pump houses in England seem to look like this too.

Beautiful curved windows, the stone arches are wonderful.

Nice old building. Some of the architectural details look like one of our old buildings. Nice image and grat reflection of the sky as well as the interesting cat figurines in the far right window!
