I don't even love the base on the Intercontinental. NYC has so many pre-war gems, and this is not one of them. If the goal in NYC is to save all pre-war architecture it should be preserved, but that is not the goal.
Too often people make blanket statements that pre-war architecture is beautiful. Much of it certainly is, but there is a major chunk that isn't worth saving. People build shlock now, and they did the same in the 20s-30s.
