What does a "bleach by-pass" filter do?

I like the original better, @Gary R. Smith. And you?

And you?

Well, I obviously thought it needed something but the original is what caught my eye. Here's the uncropped version of the shot.

I rather like that 'bleach by-pass' look although the technique is a new one on me. It looks like something from one of the weird Lomography film stocks, Metropolis perhaps.

Because I'm curious about names I was going to ask who J. S. Cooper was but a Google search came up with the answer. He seems to have been quite a prominent citizen of Independence back in the day. Also good to find out that this fine old building is now being appreciated and looked after.

Thanks for an interesting post, Gary.
