Heritage is relative; the Steam Clock four blocks down the street has more heritage than that place ever did, and that thing was built in '77. Keep the hotel, don't keep it, almost anybody who's following the story mostly just wants Holborn to do something with the place.

Oh of course, if major news agencies here and around the country are reporting about this, I'm sure this is nothing but a microbial issue that only affects you and me.
