I don't think I can offer much help on this specific shot, but for the future I hope these suggestions help:

Get up higher, it is hard when shooting a large building, but it if it is for anything other than your own enjoyment and memory..you have got to be higher to make the perspective right.

Just like a person, a building needs to be shot at a flattering angle. Flat (profile) is rarely it. You need to be able to see at least one whole side and a good portion of another..think 2 point perspective. There should be two strong vanishing points.

Unless there is something that only shows up at night, twilight is a much better time to shoot, because of mood and interest.

I do like the stark white against the inky black, and I think I would try another night shot, long exposure, but it doesn't make the place inviting, it makes it cold, strong, and formidable.
