Would you be interested in something in Chicago?

If so, would you be interested in a 1920s apartment hotel
with an extremely high grade artificial stone facade,
badly deteriorated by the 1990s, and "restored"
by smearing on a commercial product?
I have lots of details but won't waste my time or yours
if this is outside your scope of work.

The project got certified for tax credits despite this
facade coverup (and also total demolition of the
historic plaster inside).

I'm still angry.
