I quite like this. I agree w/AT about the top leveling, it's a distraction to my eye.
I really dig the sepia treatment here, but I find the contrast could be upped for more pop. I don't see enough pure white or pure black here.

"You have to milk the cow quite a lot, and get plenty of milk to get a little cheese." Henri Cartier-Bresson from The Decisive Moment.
I think a reflection of Godzilla/Gojira vice the rotunda would make this a nice whimsical photo.
But, I digress. Clone the left-most window contents into the right one, fiddle with it a little to make it unique. Drop the vignette and level the horizontal out, maybe boost the structure a little. Brighten (or bump the exposure a tad) and a little back to more B&W vice so much sepia. Figure out a way to bring attention to the colour runs below the lettering, perhaps (just a thought, though)

Thanks for all the input, I really appreciate it. I've tried to incorporate as much as I could - here is the revised image. I opted to leave the reflection in the window as the girlfriend likes it...and well, she wins.

Nice shot. I agree with your girlfriend, the reflection should stay. (It's always wise to agree with your girlfriend)
You can fix the top in LR by using the Horizontal perspective slider under the 'Manual' section of the Lens Correction panel. By the looks of things just a +1 or +2 will do it. This will also skew the bottom slightly, so you'll have to re-rotate a little afterwards.
your girlfriend is right! Of course she, -she's a girl.
I like your edits very much. good job
