An older style building shot using an older style (B&W/film) technique; it could just as easily be a shot from the 30's as from today. The shadows are particularly effective in a B&W composition like this; first because it's all about light and shadow but secondly because they give a feeling of implicit depth to the scene (the brain instinctively knows that there must be objects ahead of the foreground to cast them) without needing to explicitly show them.

Nicely balanced composition! Nice how the balcony is underplayed in size but is the brightest thing in the frame! V

This wonderful, rather lonesome shot, looks like it comes from an old western movie. V
