I like the old one to be honest, but, boy, are those some terrible 'renderings.'

[pachucoboy]

Me too... is that wood paneling???

[dtown]

Yeah, old one was better.

[RustTown]

It's beyond me why they'd want to cover up the stone work with what appears to be some panels of wood or vinyl.

I like the old one better too.

[dnast]

Take a look at the picture at the bottom of this page (the one labeled "Metropolis Building").

If I'm not completely mistaken, the building to the right of the Metropolis building is the same as the building on the left of the Community Foundation rendering. Given that, they are not planning on covering the stonework, but rather it no longer exists. I do remember a black and white photo somewhere in this forum showing this building with the original facade.

Then the to options presented are to either 1.) replicate the original facade as on the First St. Lofts or 2.) face the building in a new and different material. BTW, since the building in the new "rendering" is rendered the same way as the red brick building next door, I think that may be yellow brick rather than wood, etc.
