Interesting structure, but not a particularly interesting photo. The
only Photoshopping that was done was adding lace curtains in the
windows that were reflecting the light. (See the RAW file)

If I liked the photo more, I'd take out the chimney because just
doesn't look right there.

This is one of those photos where framing the original shot, and
cropping the result, is difficult. The entire building was not really
frameable. There was a clutter of cars and some landscaping equipment
in the driveway.

How to crop (it had to be 10" x 8") was restrictive.


Here is my version. I attenuated the graphics quality of your image.
using Topaz for the conversion, Vivesa to att a touch of structure and
more contrast. I then added a post crop vignette in ACR.

Interesting.... Is that what you might call the 'Casper' effect?
