I think this building [about to be demolished by NYU] does not meet the test
for an appropriate use of Landmark designation:

1.   The house is heavily altered from when Poe lived there (top two floors
of facade intact (lower two floors pushed out with 1920's storefront).
2.  Poe did not build or materially alter the house.
3.  His occupancy was extremely brief.

What do NYC-area Pinheads think?
