A very solid-looking building with beautiful details.
I like you site. Leeds looks magnificent. I especially like your shot of the Austen Seven - what a fun old car. Thank you for visiting Tampa Daily Photo. I hope you will visit often. (Via the Internet as you'd probably not like our 36 degree temp today.)
I'd say it's perfect for a museum.
