your missing the point...I'm sure most of us, including myself, don't view the building as a classical architectural gem like the Flatiron.You're putting words in our mouth, no one said the building is a gem that needs to be landmarked. If a great,appealing, and creative design was proposed for the site, I wouldn't think twice about razing the building. But given what is proposed, i think it is a shame that a cool old building that adds a little character to an otherwise modern neighborhood is getting destroyed so a hideous unimaginative box can rise in its place.
