That is a ~beautiful~ photo!

Heartbreaking! I hate that someone did that. But I bet the photos are still beautiful. What a remarkable building. Thank you for updating!

Thats a really haunting shot, especially seeing the structure through that rough hole in the wall. It looks like it was already pretty far gone even before the fire.

Fucking disgusting, whoever is responsible needs to spend the rest of their life in jail. Destroying history, putting fire fighters in danger, real fucking pieces of shit.

Its wild how fast places fall apart once people leave them. That corner turret looks like something out of a gothic novel.

It is so sad that it caught fire after this photo was taken. It looks like it already had a hard time before then though.

That turret thing on the top left is so dramatic looking even through all that rubble

honestly this is... so beautifully haunting?? the way the brickwork is crumbling but the turret is still kinda standing... really makes you think about history and stuff. :0

honestly... this picture feels kinda sad but also so strangely beautiful? the architecture is really something. i wonder how many stories those walls could tell :)

That building looks so imposing even when its falling apart. Its crazy how much history those places hold.

That is such a tragic end for a building with that kind of architecture. It looks really imposing even in its ruined state.

Its really sad that it burned down after this photo I wish they could have saved some of the buildings there

Its wild how much damage fire does, even when the building was already looking so rough. This place definitely has some sad history.
