Thanks for the information Beaudry.

I wasn't really expecting Sanders Oldsmobile to be standing..but I was shocked that Irving Shapiro's mid-century Columbia Savings is gone as well.
That's the first time I recall seeing the interior. It was quite impressive!

"The bank's design integrates significant works of abstract art, including a 45-foot-long brass screen-waterfall sculptural fountain by local artist Taki
and a 1,300-square-foot dalle-de-verre (faceted glass) stained-glass skylight by acclaimed artist Roger Darricarrere that crowns the interior light well."

Was any of this saved? :shrugs:
