Thank you for this. I found it ironic that the NY Times published both a biterswwet article about Surma's Ukrainian Gift Shop (across the street) as well as a fawining architecture review of this building in the same week. I have no problem with the deisgn of the building itself - it actually looks pretty cool- but it most defniitely does NOT fit in with the neighborhood. Also note that the architecture critic didn't ask any of the St. George's parishoners how they felt about the light to their stained glass windows being blocked.
