417 Park is as nice as those kinds of buildings come - this one's got great classic details, a facade in solid limestone (Go on google earth and scroll up park avenue - this is a rarity), and a copper cornice. It's as NEW YORK - in all caps - as they come. NY's at its best when small anomalies survive in otherwise completely changed neighborhoods.
Also a new building here would not have large floor plates (Same lot size as 425 park) - so please none of this 'NY NEEDS THIS NEW TOWER" sentiment here. The eyesore next door had already previously made plans to expand vertically, clearly this building was not an obstacle.
