The Farwell Building awaits development as it looks out over Grand Circus Park on Oct. 15, 2005.

The vaulted ceiling in the lobby. Its Tiffany chandeliers have been stolen. The white areas are where tiles have fallen off.
It's tough to say what the Farwell's most amazing feature is: the Tiffany glass mosaic lobby or the rotunda.
Some of the rotunda's railings have been stripped by scrappers.

The gorgeous elevator doors and Tiffany chandeliers are long gone from the lobby.

The elevator doors are in remarkably good shape other than broken glass.
