The Taliban are thriving in NYC.
Sad, very very sad.
Heart-breaking to see this go
A better developer would have seen architecture like that as an asset to be reused as no new construction will match its level of decor. A smaller version of Carnegie Hall Tower would have worked perfectly.
That absolutely sucks. This was the second gorgeous old building torn down on this stretch, yet enough crap remains.
This would have been a great building to give the Hearst treatment
I agree.
It sucks that the old building was razed, but this is the best iteration thus far.
It would really suck D if this remains an empty lot.
this could have been an excellent jewelbox retail store, complete with executive space on the upper floors. Such a crime against the beauty of the city.
I agree. That was a gorgeous building. It should have never been razed. The LPC is a joke.
The lot will remain empty for quite some time, I bet… just like the beautiful Bancroft building nearby was razed years ago and the site is still empty
