These comments are a bit confusing, is 1806 being completely torn down or just receives a facadectomy? That's actually a pretty nice building despite being labeled as "non-historic". The crude massing shows it as a distinct structure that houses retail. I'm not sure why they would tear it down and then replace it with something of identical scale.
