Comment: (161.181.53.10) Barely a hint of it's original state. Beautiful brickwork all gone.

Comment: Yes, it used to be beautiful. Link from the MNHS.org, dated 1902-1904. http://collections.mnhs.org/visualresources/image.cfm?imageid=72065&Page=7&Digital=Yes&Keywords=%27st%2E%20paul%27%20%20%27Margaret%27&SortOrder=Decending&SearchType=Advanced
