I applaud the circular windows, but I must tell you that every time I passed through this so called heritage gem it seems  devoid of life, underused and certainly not user friendly. 

It is time to rethink our approach to heritage conservation. Some old, sometimes plain ugly and not user friendly architecture is better documented in books and archives. Land use planning is dynamic and has evolved in the past decades. The yorkville park attests to more current understanding of human interaction and community. 

The foregoing by no means condon the sometimes thoughtless glass condo intensification or the so-called Manhattanization of this city.
