“1947 photographic image of the ashland block (burnham and root, 1892) as it appeared shortly before its demolition in 1949. i don’t readily recall seeing an image of ashland with its cornice stripped off. and clearly, the schiller building’s cornice was not removed in 1953! i do know the terra cotta cupola was destroyed in 1958 by the mcguire wrecking company. courtesy of bldg. 51 archive.”
