I also prefer the red "brick" on top of what is now Brookfield Place. I think it was replaced with the green "TD" brick around 2002.

Still would take the filler over the parking lots though.
I can see what you're saying regarding FCP:

I personally think I prefer the re-clad, which better highlights the corner detail. I also find that the reflectiveness of the new material gives the tower a clean, modern look without taking away from the original design.

As for Brookfield Place, I'm unable to find any images that show what you are referring too.
