    So glad this was kept up and it looks very well cared for...it's beautiful building. I'm amazed at how it's fundamentally the same structure as it was in 1915.

    Love to see the comparisons of then and now VP, looks like mainly cosmetic changes here.

    And now the funicular is powered by solar panels, you say? That's pretty cool!

    Love the way the shell of the building stays the same and the items around it (clock, phone booth, car, signage) change. Wonder what it will look like in another 100 years. I'll never know, hah!

    I can see a few changes over the years but basically the building is very much the same on the outside. It's nice to see someone has cared to keep it in good condition.

    It hasn't changed much except for something at the top of the tower, which I can't make out.
