The whole block is landmarked.
I had a long conversation with Barbra Stocklin about the Luhrs block under the insane pretense of subsidizing demolitions. They're getting somewhere on the order of $500,000 in subsidies for renovating the exterior of the two larger Luhrs buildings.
As I gathered, their hands were tied because of a prior 1994 development agreement that came with the block that allowed the demolition of the above assets. Tho I swear it sounded like they were trading the arcade for the postal annex, and now both are getting trampled.
