Compositionally, this is a strong, stable shot. It is a bit centered, which normally doesn't help, but in this case I think it documents the architecture of the building well. It has just enough of the background to give some context, but not so much as to clutter it up or be distracting.
Technically, your focus is very good. Also, your exposure shows a lot of the details, but I think that may be what makes the shot look a bit "flat." My very first impression of this shot was "Nice shot, but doesn't have a lot of depth). There are no definitive "blacks" in the shot, or none that really define the textures of the building. I think a bit more contrast would help, even if it meant burying some of the details in shadows.
The sepia is a nice touch. It helps to further communicate the age of the building.
If I need to further elaborate, or explain, please PM.
