[eixample]

I agree that the Parkside design stinks, but faux historical architecture we have in places like Society Hill with "design homages" is often junky too. Why should we care if this building mimics its neighbors? Couldn't this property just be brick fronted with a mansard roof at the same height of its neighbors and with quality windows, doors, iron work, etc. and that be enough? I'd rather it blend in and be anonymous more than anything.
