The final design does have a faint, 60s mod berlin feel, and it has to integrate structurally with the old building. It's sort of the design result when applying the old if you have lemons make lemonade slogan.

Nice to see you around again coyotetrickster! It's a Victorian, not an Edwardian, and it's the oldest building on all of Market Street. The repainting that they'll be starting soon will definitely improve its appearance. I remember some parties in that place from years ago when friends were living there...
