Limestone is limestone. I really don't see where you're coming from, and I wouldn't look at the ESB and have the word 'filthy' cross my mind. Keep in mind how old the building is and how materials age over time. That doesn't brand them as filthy, but aged. Regardless the ESB, while not maybe as elegant as Chrysler, sports a very iconic and classy facade.
I'm not saying this is a shot, but I think you're a tad off base in dividing something that is aged from something that is filthy.
And BTW, if you have ever seen a close-up shot of Chrysler's crown you'll see where I'm coming from. Chrysler has it's share of shown age too, you just need to look a little harder. As far as the renovation time-table, I'm not quite sure. I would guess a year, perhaps even more.
