Except that it doesn't. Fenestration is more than the size of the openings.
You've got a window that's two-thirds bricked in, as if that fools anyone, and another on the end that's only a half-window. In a
cantilevered overhang. And they're all huge sheets of plate glass rather than double-hung windows with divided lights.
I didn't realize "better than a parking lot" was now the test for whether a new building is judged appropriate in a landmark district.
