Harrison Albright's 1910 Consolidated Realty Bldg at Sixth and Hill was a big Beaux Arts beast but received a cleanlining by Beelman in '35; this image from 1966 shows Beelman's work and was shot one year before
another facade reworking was to be had, this time by some unknown.
The cool newsstand has been replaced by a 1988 building which, were I challenged to sketch a parody of 1988 buildings, wouldn't look as silly as that.
In the 1966 image note the Knickerbocker on Olive St in the bg; it's a 1913 by Austin & Pennell. She had about four years left before what arguably stands as the worst modernization downtown (with possible exception of the Haas Bldg) -- behold the 1970 masterpiece of Morganelli-Heuman & Associates:
