Beautiful Italianate building? That building was a shithole and furthermore it wasn’t the developer it was the structural engineers…if anyone is to blame it’s the engineer who didn’t seem to think it was prudent to brace that building.

Yeah you’re so full of shit, I know people who lived in that building, it was no different than any other mansion converted into apartments in MV up until the developer “accidentally” damaged it beyond repair

Yeah, everyone knows people ffs. Except that building wasn't the same as other mansions converted to apartments. The architecture of that building's exterior was fairly unique for B'more and the stonework was still impressive. The interior still had a lot of original details despite the efforts of cheap landlords to screw it up over the years.

This only supports my point that the building wasn’t a shithole

Shithole? Man you're fucked up, that was a beautiful building. And I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'll sell to you cheap if you really believe the developer didn't coordinate that entire fiasco.

Unfortunately for you I was very involved with that entire thing and the destruction of that ancillary building was a fucking fiasco for the project.
