All Gone!

 

Back in 2017, I did a post about the possible loss of the Chinese Cultural Center, a wonderful Phoenix landmark.  At the time, there was still some negotiations going on to try to come to a compromise with the new owners.  If you click the link, you can see my post and compare this photo to the second photo on the older post.  It's a pretty striking difference.  

All of the architectural characteristics have been completely removed leaving a plain looking building awaiting new tenants.  It's a shame to have lost such a beautiful facility that meant so much to the people of Phoenix.

Truly a unique design. Everything seems so spacious.

A bit plain, and with work from home, I wouldn't want to own empty commercial space.

What an amazing difference, Sharon. Such a shame.

Good grief. It looked so much better before. What were they thinking?!

Empty white board, a fill in the blank piece of unimaginative structure, what a mistake!
