I get what OTownandDown is saying. It's a bit of a "Granfather's Axe" type situation. Heritage in general. The whole idea of façadism. Sure, the Ogilvy façade is restored and using original materials for the most part, but the foundation built by Charles Ogilvy, the steel structure that held the building for over 100 years, the floors that thousands of people walked through, they are all gone.
Even the Parliament Buildings. About a quarter of the stone was replaced. In 300 years, nothing of the original exterior will be left. Extreme example, but it still stands.
