Rob Willoughby @abbenay.bsky.social · 19/07/2026This would be a crime. If you know this building at all (or have taken one look at the way the windows are arranged from the outside) you can see that it’s a singular work of art. To keep the outside and change the inside seems not only ugly, but maybe actually more expensive and difficult? 002
