Re: (rshsdepot) Grand Central Terminal - New York, NY



    The nice irony about the Kodak ad, I always thought, was that it was
there for far longer (ca. 1949-1999, 50 years) than it was not there (ca.
1914-1949, 35 years).  It was certainly more dissonant with the original
architecture than that silly clock, but it also could lay a very serious
claim to being an integral part of the history of the building.
    On a scale of far less significance, but of equal substance, we're
debating in our preservation of the 1872 Ulster & Delaware depot at Roxbury,
NY, whether to include freight-room graffiti put there by agents and
employees of the 1920's, and undisturbed since -- we've already decided the
1875 graffiti stays for sure!
    Anyone have any thoughts about the issue?
