Thanks. It was really simple treatment. I pulled done the curve a lot,
then selectively applied that to only sky, clouds and building with a
mask. I painted on the mask to apply more of the darkening to the right
than the left.
By the way, when doing this kind of work, I leave the color layer on the
bottom and make the B&W conversion above it. That makes selection by
color possible on that layer, which may then be applied to a B&W layer
to do masking that's about impossible directly in B&W.

Yup, a little rotation and a bit of perspective correction. The original
looks to me like the building is leaning away from the camera. I suspect
squatter is more accurate?
