Amazing that they’re willing to save these stacks of bricks. Sad testament to the condition of architecture today that this is better than most things they would do brand new.
Agreed with Thayer-D, but I’ve seen worse “historic” buildings.
Sometimes I wish I had piles of money to invest in gorgeous-looking but new buildings that hearken back to historic architecture – an elegant architecture for a more civilized age.
