That wiped out Veloz and Yolanda's dance school, so they weren't neighbors with the Tishman building for long. According to GW's blog, the house next door at 3508 (which was home to Embassy Realty Associates Inc in its later days) only lasted a year or so longer.

I can be a bit slow sometimes so am I the last person to realize that part of the RFK Schools now on the site were built on nearly the same footprint and with some familiar shapes of the front section of the Ambassador?
