There are tons of gems that were mindlessly razed/stripped/recladded/defaced
over the years and replaced by modern junk. There is just too much to cover but I'll start with this relatively recent one: the Sheraton Russell hotel @ 45 Park Ave. It was torn down (2006) and replaced with a Costas Kondylis special (2007). Before...  ----------- Development Du Jour: 45 Park Avenue by Matt Lobron Tuesday, May 09, 2006 A new condo development, known as 45 Park Avenue, is being constructed at the site of the former Sheraton Russell Hotel at Park Avenue and 37th Street. The building is designed by ubiquitous architects Costas Kondylis & Partners and will contain 105 apartments over 15 floors. No word yet on what prices will be, but at least owners won't have to worry about any sudsing issues—the website makes sure to point out that each apartment will have its own full size GE washer and dryer. The building is very conveniently located right near Grand Central, and the Park Ave. address should compensate for any embarrassment you might feel when telling people that you technically live in Murray Hill.
