I guess they’re done repairing the corner of the building that was hit back in July of 2021? It survived the initial impact, as I showed in August of the same year, and then languished for a long time before reconstruction began in earnest earlier this year. I like how they imitated the crappy mortar in-fill where the cornice once was, and no replacement for the corner turret was in the works, apparently…
On a brighter note, here is a cool picture of the store back in its heyday, when there were full sized plate glass windows in the front.
kind of a bummer they didn’t replace the reliefs.
Indeed, as well as the original column, which was replaced with a steel beam. I suspect that modern building code required that new support, but I wish they could have somehow put the original around the new load bearing member–the column survived the crash.
