  •  Interesting Features
    There are two large bank vaults in the basement, as well as a few other small gems strewn throughout. The building also offers some rather good views of the surrounding area. The best views can be obtained from the penthouse floors and the winchhouse, but access to them is extremely difficult and dangerous, for the only stairs leading up to them from the top-most main (11th) floor are rotting out and literally on the verge of collapse.

     History
