Had a couple opportunities through work to check out a really great downtown landmark - below are some mediocre shots from the first trip, I'll follow up with the gold ones soon.. the ceiling details + large center space are amazing

Apparently it's being developed into a residence for a prominent local banker...

Soon to be restored facade


Staircase to upper balcony


Top structure to barrel vault ceilings


One of the intricate fixtures (can't imagine changing all those bulbs)








Neat concrete beams under main room

Damn I love all the details they put into those old buildings.

Should've checked the vault out first. ;)

As promised here's more with some historical references as well - link below after them to much more
