1960's Skin to Faux 1860's Skin
A long empty Madison Ave ground floor, once home to the sheesh bag retailers Koret and Walborg, will lose its vaguley 60's mod design in favor of a more conservative faux historicism. Although this faux gas light anklet reskinning would fit the structure, the Backer Building, more uniformly, there is something grossly appealing about he space age windows. 'Promised Facade Changes' for any new tenant, last photo provides a rendering. I would say a slick reno on the existing could create a pretty inviting new night spot... Hopefully we can look forward to Duane Reade, NOT!
The promised street level reskinning...
