IIRC the building was falling apart. Cracked foundation, among other major structural issues. Repairing and renovating it would have cost more and been more time consuming than replacing it, supposedly.

I don’t think “supposedly” is necessary. People get all bent out of shape about historic buildings - but nobody wants to OR offers to pay for it. That block has cement buildings, apt buildings with plastic siding, etc - this idea its some picturesque block of a historic street is stilly.
