Good for a short visit.

3/5 - Okay

We walked to here after hours. There is information outside you can read. It was interesting and worth the walk from the hotel to see.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

If it looks like it's not open, go in anyway. Very cool building full of history and well-maintained while keeping its original charm. Park in the underground lot and come up into the OSC.
