Boo, more NYC destruction of historic properties for some rich people.
First came the demolition of the Third Avenue Cottages between 77th and 78th St to make way for the cheesy “Empire” condo building. Most recently it was the ridiculously outsized faux classical 151 East 78th St. And now, yet another monument to the vanity of wealth is about to bring down two more houses on what was once one of the upper east sides loveliest blocks. Not anymore.
