I think effect makes this look like an old picture so you have succeeded with that. But like others say, there is no subject in the photo.

Can you go back to that same spot, look around and identify one thing that says "old building" to you? Maybe a bricked up window, or an old fading sign, or maybe the rusty downspout. Take a few different photos from different angles, different cropping different depth of field etc of the first subject you find. Then find another and interesting feature and take different photos of it.

If you don't know where to start, go in close and photograph the edge of a chipped brick then back off a little and look for your next subject.

I think you are on to something with this scene and toning. You just have to work it a little more with the camera.

One of the reasons you might not have a sharp image in this case is because you only have a Depth of Field around 16 feet assuming you focused 20' into the frame. Open your aperture up for more DOF.
