As long as there's sunlight, all months are great to photograph this façade.
Visit during the day when you can make use of the contrasting harsh light and shadows to accentuate the façade's texture.

Field tips

Although I used just my iPhone, with a wide-angle lens you'll surely get more coverage of the building's facade.
Request your model to wear a distinct color to help contrast with the grey walls.
The façade has nice symmetry if you frame it correctly. Be patient as you get your perfect composition.
Get creative and make use of a prop! With an umbrella you can try doing a Mary Poppins floating umbrella pose.
