From one perspective I can see it as being romantic, from another I can see societal failure... its a work of love by whoever designed and built it, but time and society haven't been kind to it. as a photo its an interesting subject matter - juxtaposing historical heritage with urban decay.

Well said, @ankapolo! Thankfully, I also saw a lot of renovation and upgrading in the surrounding area. There was construction everywhere associated with historical structures. It seemed like a race against time, and it was great to see all the activity.
that's good to hear, I've seen efforts like this also done in Panama - in their historic district. The balconies were is such bad shape that they had to support them with scaffolding while restoration was underway. But that was over 10 years ago... I wonder how its doing now
Hopefully, they're doing great against the forces of time and human reason :) Sadly, we also have a few places here in my city that need some love, but if worse comes to worse, we just pick up the building and move it somewhere else. 😆
Haha!
