I'm not sure this is a fair statement. Unless there's some history I don't know, that building is hardly historic, and is just an anonymous 2 story building with a Starbucks and a space for fast food restaurants that come and go. Yes, it is sort of a handsome example, but is out of scale with the much taller buildings to the North, West and East, as well as the transportation building across Harrison, and ALREADY had an addition on the roof. Yes, it was smaller but seems to be of more or less the same configuration as the new one which occupies the same location against a blank brick wall well back from Harrison. Hard to tell while under construction, but I suspect, will blend in pretty much like the former one when finished.
Far from the most obnoxious things we've seen in the sloop.
