wish they would preseve that facade
Looks like demolition is progressing.
The site is currently occupied by a four-story building with arched windows and terra cotta ornamentation with musical instrument motifs. Between its eye-catching design and its history as an event space for Yorkville’s early German and Irish residents, local preservationists have sought to make it an individual landmark. This has not come to pass, and demolition permits were filed in February 2026.
nooo its so pretty
EDIT: just realized i made this claim already LOL

can these UES residents organize and help preserve or recycle these beautiful facades
I wanted to make a topic for this.
It’s always a shame when an Art Deco building gets destroyed. Street level was completely altered by retail though. A mediocre replacement will add insult to injury.
Tarp is up. Full demolition of the building may start soon.
damn i lowkey thought they were putting the scaffolding for fun
Demolition is starting i guess
