Like I posted above, the building is totally suitable for contemporary residential/institutional/office uses. The only thing it's un-suited to is Class A office space. The report Keith linked to doesn't dispute that at all. It just needs significant TLC (which that report also suggested would cost less than a demolition and new structure).
