I remember walking down E. 57th and being stunned that someone had purposely ground off the architectural flutings and capitals on the four Ionic columns (see other detailed photo). Why would anyone have bothered to do this unless it was thought that by destroying these features the building would not have been eligible for historic designation? Can anyone confirm my theory?
