It was built by day labor mostly, and $1,318,349.19 (a 400 percent cost overrun) was actually spent on work and materials before the structure was ready for occupancy. The interior "courtyard" is a three-story painted cast-iron marvel. The building is now a private office building, visitors are welcome on the first floor only.
