A cheap and nasty solution to a remakably average snapshot is to whack the contrast so high that all the imperfections dissappear.

it looks like an old picture

This picture needs something more. Maybe a different angle, maybe in color rather than b and w. The lighting is also a little harsh and glaring.

Or as Frank Lloyd Wright called it, half timbered stockbroker:)

I would have preferred color to black and white... Photo looks washed out but it but the subject doesn't look old..

Good use of digital adjustments

Very nice framing and high contrast black and white. I like that kind of bold style :)

Nice subject, less than interesting photograph unfortunately

black & white ruins this picture

I like the high contrast of this picture, though I think the chimneys are almost lost in the sky. karmat

The white feels just a little to bright, but I love the structure.

Too much contrast, but a nice shot.

Is that really wattle and daub? Regardless - it's a lovely old building and the strong contrast B&W makes it look like an old photo. Good effort at meeting the challenge. My only criticism is that it's not an especially interesting picture. Perhaps it's the angle that's very conventional. But that, again, adds to the old picture feel.
