Somebody else take a look at the cleaning underway on the Broadway
(limestone) front of the Apthorp apartments, at 79th and Broadway. Not about
the probably-over-aggresive cleaning, but about the removal of the ancient
flaky black crusts.
Yeah, I know the crusts are bad, just like that damn ivy stuff (Hey,
>>people<< are bad for buildings!), but isn't something important being
lost? I am interested in locating examples of masonry buildings where the
owners made a conscious decision not to clean.
