The building itself is a disaster though. I deal with several people who work there and they all say the building is a horrible place to work, full of compromises and with lots of issues. It would need a total gutting of the interior, right back to the bare walls, hugely expensive. It is nice on the outside but it wouldn't destroy me if it had to come down.
