Also it appears they kept half of the raped pediments and replaced the other half with.. newly raped pediments lol.. the historical aspect of this building has not been respected at all over time..

I know it's hard to see but here are the original pediments:

but because its similar to the treble hall and the dundas building it would appear the originals look like them as well

I say we petition to restore the façade of his building back to what it used to look like, using those 2 buildings for reference, and have a metalworker restore the Corinthian column tops while they are at it - respect the character of these original designs!

Your use of raped here is so out of order. Please be mindful of word choice and find a better way to articulate your disdain with the cosmetics of a building.
