Sure, but despite the doors being sometimes closed and the lights out,
there seem to be mysterious shadows in the dark. The building seems
unfit for a real occupant, despite other indications to the contrary.
I feel a sense of general soundness of structure, but wonder about how
that might be affected over the long term, given its general state of
curious neglect and ongoing retrofits.
