I was very sad to see it torn down. Not just because it was the beloved offices of my family's company for many years, but because it was designed by Shutze, whose work should be better preserved in this city. He also designed my grandfather's home on West Sussex in Morningside.Susan Bernsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642323900368056952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-32385712742531568032010-02-08T00:22:23.525-05:002010-02-08T00:22:23.525-05:00Did a bit of looking - looks like it used to be ow...Did a bit of looking - looks like it used to be owned by the church, and was sold to CRB Realty (developer Charlie Brown) as <a href="http://atlanta.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stories/2008/01/07/focus9.html" rel="nofollow">part of a deal to build a large office town on the property</a>. CRB closed on the property in 2008. No idea if the plan was to keep the building or tear it down, but my guess is to tear it down.B Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744821805989599457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-41816305373413886712010-02-08T00:10:11.490-05:002010-02-08T00:10:11.490-05:00Well BKing.
