Both look good although I am somewhat bias toward b&w. I would increase contrast if it were mine.

As Bob said there really isn’t much color in the photo. Black and white is the winner here.

I like both. JMO but I think the B&W needs to be "punched" up a bit more. Maybe an "S" curve applied or some more contrast. Just seems a little "flat" to me.
But I like the shot.

I like the color version. True there is little color and there is also little contrast. There is pleasant color detail in the ceiling that is lost in the B&W. The colors are natural and what you'd expect and I think the color version is more inviting.

The colored version is warmer to me and I like it more , but the B&W is stunning all the same.
Thank you.

The color version is warm and appealing. Makes me want to visit there. The monochrome version doesn't evoke much emotion in me. Adding some contrast might help but I suspect I would still like the color one better.

I like the monochrome. If you center the cursor in the exit arch in download and click, there is a very interesting widescreen crop you might consider as well! Very nice photo!
I agree--very nice crop to consider. Also prefer B&W but not by much. Both are good but I am a lover of B&W anyway.

I like either of these images, even though I have a preference for B&W for architectural subjects.
I don’t know why, as I’ve examined the vertical and horizontal lines relative to the frame and they are vertical and horizontal, but the scene feels like it’s tilted ever so slightly clockwise. Is it just my eyes?

Nope not just your eyes I saw it as well.
