the Empire State Plaza was erected during Nelson's reign. There must be snow there today and I am certain the action of freeze-thaw and modulus of elasticity is in full effect.
One can only hope that Nature will reclaim all the travertine that Nelson had removed from her bosom. Which reminds me, that while at HLW, we worked briefly on the Gov's mansion in Albany (which had been trashed by Nelson The Modren Art Connoisseur) just after Hugh Carey married the lovely Evangeline Gouletis. I never visited there, but saw pre-Mrs. Carey pictures, and remember hearing that the also-lovely but evidently substantially less vain Matilda Cuomo ordered that the mirrors be removed from the Gov's private showers IMMEDIATELY.
Speaking of bringing up lunch yet again,
