How would you change this poor capture into something of some interest?

Interesting.
It makes me feel that I was lazy for not using my feet!!!

And you are very close to what I had in mind.
Cooled down the general tone, desaturated and cropped grass, emphasized variation in grass, lightened background field... and now I've looked at it too long and have lost reference to blues and contrasts and relationships..

One strong suggestion when post processing...
Stop. Do something else and then return. This way, with your eyes and mind rested you can notice where you over process or under process.
This is not a comment on your offering but a 'workflow' idea. I use that more often than not.
Another thing I do, perhaps wrongly... I create a mask that shows a before and after at the same time so I know where I was and where I am going... This helps me when I really do not want to go overboard on anything.

Yes - that is why I like to use layers - you can switch them on and off, e.g. sharpen with a USM layer, then sharpen with a High Pass layer, then sharpen with a Clarity layer. I compare them using PhotoFiltre side by side. On occasion I will use more than one together.

In response to a couple of PMs, “the camera was moved to the right” in order to get part of the generally uninteresting wall into the foreground by contriving the compositional scant linear perspective so as to increase the proximity (decrease the distance) of the vanishing point.

Basically, in PS CC, for those who need more information use perspective correction.
There are several methods under Edit->Transform->(Perspective) or whatever suits your fancy.
Quick sample from a different capture...

PS Elements also has several similar tools, just not quite as "easy" on multiple issues (such as window frames on a leaning building).Basically, in PS CC, for those who need more information use perspective correction.

Yes, indeed; but an extra five seconds for a more proportionately realistic effect is always worth it!

You asked > "How would you change this poor capture into something of some interest?"
It seems to me that basically you had a change in the weather in mind or perhaps you meant "... something more dramatic".
I don't think the buildings are particularly interesting unless perhaps I knew what I was looking at and also knew the history. I think that even knowing the story does not improve the photo, it just makes me a better informed viewer. Your work on the photo did add some drama and as you initially wrote and I agree, it's a poor capture.
