Unless they simply decided not to update that part of google street view.. although I have noticed that disturbing trend in other parts of the city, where they just don't bother to repair the external window areas or cornices..
Still it's nice to see those buildings in their original form. Still unimpressed with the "modern" looking one where the zebra building used to be, but eh.. it's better than nothing I suppose.. just very out of character with the rest of the period looking styles.
I woulda preferred the stucco and white facade the one 2 to the right from it is getting - looks pretty nice.
