To lose this interior for a bland, currently fashionable, lobby design completely misses the point of adaptive reuse of a signature piece of architecture.

Please don't eliminate the Art Deco design of this iconic building/lobby. It's just so sad for everything NYC has been through that this history of the Architecture of the Art Deco period would be wiped clean from our memory, and why? The brilliant and beautiful colors of the Art Deco period give people positive energy when they walk into the lobby. It's a gorgeous piece of history and shouldn't be destroyed by today's design. You see, I am an interior designer, some firms just want the job, sell you on what you think you want. When in fact, all you really wanted was to update the electrical, plumbing, and replace the HVAC system, and change lightbulbs, elevator systems, and provide 24-hour monitoring. NOT, give you a complete gut job for some new disconnected young architect or designer's version of Art Deco. And I have seen some horrible Art Deco renovations by homeowners and business owners because they made bad choices because the majority ruled. Don't let this be the time the Preservationists listened to too many Indians. There is only one Chief. YOU.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
