Does anyone have a pic of what lies behind the nasty siding from the 60s/70s? It seems like broadway is screaming for this sididng to come down. | ||

It's more modern so of course it's an improvement! "Sleek" metal is always more cosmopolitan than intricately carved stone! | ||

that picture above could have come right out of a 1955 "modernize main street" ad for US Steel. They really pushed that sort of thing, more so for small towns. The things people thought were good............... | ||

Apparently, some people thought it looked good. Are any of those people still around? I have never met a single person that prefers the metal siding over the stone work. Was this a result of temporary mass delusions? | ||
