Faded grandeur

This elaborate cupola tops a heritage building that was constructed in 1847. Built as a luxurious private residence, it later became an inn and restaurant, and now houses a catering business and food shop. It is undergoing a major renovation, so I hope they bring it back to its former glory.

Looks too beautiful not to try to restore. It’s nice to see the old buildings still used.

It's beautiful now- if restored it will be gorgeous! Good shot.
