See Jeweler's Row and 11th & Walnut... 3 perfectly fine buildings that will be razed for a hypothetical tower.
For the record, I am not against the tower if it was ready for shovels in the ground, but I am not a fan of prematurely razing nice little buildings.

Doesn't look heavily altered to me, besides the yucky color paint.
If you study the pictures, the facades and brickwork appear largely original. The only obvious alteration is the 4th floor flush with the sidewalk on the Northernmost building.
