Restore
The I. Miller Building is being restored: "Tobin | Parnes was commissioned to restore the famed I. Miller building at 1552 Broadway NYC space, a majestic and regal landmark. Designed in 1926 by Architect Louis H. Friedland, the original facade materials included limestone, polished marble, bronze and terra cotta, each carefully crafted into mosaics and motifs of classically-inspired historic styles. In addition, four beautifully carved golden niches that house statues of 1920’s leading actresses Ethel Barrymore, Marilyn Miller, Mary Pickford and Rosa Ponselle were gracefully rendered by Alexander Stirling Calder, father of renowned modern sculptor Alexander Calder.
"The work on the I. Miller building pays homage to this history, through the restoration and cleaning of the limestone façade, decorative window openings and the existing statue niches along 46th Street."
It's cool that this is going on because it's been talked about for several years without anything happening, but I worry because the restoration list doesn't mention the statues.

Since it was the last day of 2013, I got 60 e-mails yesterday asking for political donations. Considering that my small 2014 Social Security increase led to an additional $8 getting taken off my food stamps monthly, I'm less the person you should be asking for donations from and more the person who should be donated to.
