A label means nothing when it physically holds no substance.

I don't think the people who want to save this building want to save it for its looks so much as for an "idea", or what it supposedly represents. It was built at the time of blah, blah, blah, it's built in the style of blah, blah, blah.
New York has an excess of many things, buildings of this type being one of them. It's not something that needs to be saved. The district as a whole is something that needs to be preserved, and I'm not just talking about it's buildings, but it's purpose. And that purpose sadly, is not to be a museum, no matter how much many may want it to be.
