Interesting Features
Various degrees of refurbishment inside. You can walk through one room which is framed and has new floor, into a hall that has a collpased stairwell. The attic has really expensive skylights. There are some rooms wired with construction electric hookups. Really strange. Not an unbroken window in the place. No artifacts except for some old power generating/water works in the basement.
