If I had the money, I would definitely restore these exquisite classical buildings on the sites of these parking lots or parking garages, faithfully recreating them based on the original photographs. Therefore, in the current restoration process in South Downtown, it is absolutely essential to refer to the earliest original photos of these old buildings. The beauty of those classical structures is the true essence of the city. Those decorative elements and molding lines really should not be erased. Yet many buildings have been altered so many times over the years that they have become completely unrecognizable—once-distinct architectural historical styles have been turned into a chaotic mishmash.
