While it would be nice to rebuild it, it's not like it's destroying anything right now by not rebuilding it.<br /><br />As for the Arcade, if I wanted to do something to fix its historic look, the removal of the totally inappropriate Hyatt awning would be the first thing on my list. How it got past the Landmarks commission, I'll never know.Christopher Busta-Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428701548572867797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140721014134558960.post-3626065798279419412010-08-11T19:56:43.531-04:002010-08-11T19:56:43.531-04:00I've been following the UrbanOhio forum devote...I've been following the UrbanOhio forum devoted to this building. It all looks quite great except, as far as I know, there are absolutely no plans to rebuild the corner tower. It really offered a balance or sorts and brought out the true Victorian image. Wonder if some thing can be done about that. Maybe not quite as important as bringing back the original Richardsonian arch to The Arcade's Euclid facade, but almost as important.Ken Goldbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140721014134558960.post-20574971663968381102010-08-11T17:37:36.274-04:002010-08-11T17:37:36.274-04:00Whoever thought it would be a good idea to cover t...Whoever thought it would be a good idea to cover this beautiful building with the ugly facade that hid it for decades should have their effigy burned in Public Square. I hope that the restoration project will try to restore the original masonry work as much as possible.Tomnoreply@blogger.com
