Wide version for me too, seems much more balanced than the crop. The lamps work much better in this shot and I'm always a sucker for a little bit of graininess in B&W shots :P

i like this version better. first, i don't like square image. second, i think the crossing walkway on the lawn added so much balance on the image. i even like this more than the color version.

I like the larger version, too. The small crop is too tight, and seeing the trees and the paths in the grass help to give a context to the building.
