  They don't make 'em like this anymore. All the more reason they must be preserved. Frankly I haven't seen them captured as well as you do Chris.

  Thank you, Renee... Would have loved to do this with a tripod rather than handheld, but you take what you can get!

  The details are nearly overwhelming, Chris. How would anyone ever get any actual reading done surrounded by such a place? Congratulations.

  Congratulations Christopher on the finalist. I loved the building from the outside, but didn't have time to go inside. Looks like another NY trip is necessary!
