Agree that this is a very interesting building, but it's not decrepit any longer (although it was for years). It was renovated a year or so ago, and apparently it now looks as it did originally.
Recently had a massive refurb, and looks great, although I've heard they're having problems getting some of the old residents out.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
