Which lot 
I will venture to guess, are you referring to the lot just north of Lucettegrace?

Yes just the concrete and brick building on the corner.
That’s one of the few historic buildings left, I would choose another parking lot over anything of historical importance.
He mentioned the corner, but maybe?
I was talking about the building on the end of the block, the 12 story one.
We should keep that building as it is one of the oldest remaining buildings in DTR. There are plenty of other lots for the project you are talking about.

Maybe the building could be refaced and rebricked 
to look like it once did when it was new and a modern building could be attached to it where the cafe and parking lot are.
I wouldn’t be too upset about the modern building next to it, but the old wear of it gives it the old charm that would not have been present had it been new.

From the pic that kicked it all off, it appears they are doing exterior work - re-pointing the masonry, cleaning the brick, weatherproofing!

Awesome! That buildings exterior is awful…screams late 70’s early 80’s and I’ve personally never liked it
Wonder what the original building exterior looked like (and maybe will return).

Don’t get too excited. Mostly interior changes for leasing purposes. Maybe windows for energy efficiency.

or maybe windows because it’s an awful building, otherwise?

I can’t defend the building. It’s ugly.

It’s so bad, that it’s actually pretty good in my opinion. Just all around awkward in every way, from the architecture to the scale, and is a small reason why Fayetteville is so appealing. There is no prevailing style, building scale or construction era along the stretch.
