Beg to differ:  many of the interiors were intact (down to floors and
mouldings), but carefully painted out in flat black, and covered with
exhibition mounting board.   It was clear to me in early visits, and in 1991
when I toured the building while demolition was underway.  Made the subsequent
preservation accolades for the exterior all the more ironic.
