Out of all the post office really stands out to me. That looked like a great building.
Such losses. Amazing what we once had.
Does this building say Coca-Cola?

Sure looks like it does.
A fine list, but for me the #1 "should have been saved" building always will be the Seminole Hotel.
If Riverside Ave. had managed to keep a dozen or more of the mansions that use to line it, I could see it being a rival to New Orleans Garden district.
if all the construction that went to Riverside Ave. had instead gone to Brooklyn or the Northbank, it would have helped both areas in that regard.

Agreed, what an absolutely gorgeous structure.
