This building has been demolished by greed and will soon be “Iconic New Downtown Office & Retail.”
The building at 220 Park Rd has NOT been demolished. As per the preservation covenant attached to the property, the lobby and post master’s wing are being incorporated into a mixed use project.
It’s a beautiful structure!!
