Condition
The cumulative effect of maintenance has been to ensure that the exterior of the place has been maintained in near original condition, while the interior has, in part, suffered from neglect and in some cases change has obscured original fabric. Much of the internal change is superficial. The current management regime keeps the public face of the building in good condition, while other areas that are currently not in use are less well cared for. Overall the place is in fair to good condition.
