Whatever they do to that building, the interior will not be saved. It's probably far too damaged and also whatever use the building is put to will not want to keep those features. All that will be left of the old building will be the fine elevations.
It's a shame, but there it is. I am lucky enough to remember it in its heyday and I can tell you love old buildings. My best suggestion for you is to move on from this one but keep up your enthusiasm. There must be plenty of other buildings out there to look at and admire without emoting over their demise. Just accept that you win some and lose some - if that weren't the case, our built environment today would look very different and would probably not be half so interesting, encompassing as it does the good, the bad and the ugly.
