a loss

built in 1958, itthey pretty much destroyed the interior when it was converted into margaret's museum back in the 90s, but the exterior, including most of the landscaping, was wonderfully intact --- then earlier this year they rented it out for filming a 3 stooges moovie in which the building itself was not seen, being surrounded by a purpose-built set that left only the front doors exposed --- in the process they cut down the old burfordi holly and broke one of the panels of cararra glass that finished the top of the building --- now, all of the cararra glass, the plaster soffit, the aluminum-framed windows, and what was left of the interior are gone --- as a friend pointed out, all that is left is to paint or stucco the brick to complete the defacing of the building ---
