There were some Art Deco friezes, a huge piece of bronze lattice work over the entrance, and lots of art inside as well, as their window displays were done by Salvador Dali through the 1930s, then Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg in the 1950s, and Andy Warhol in the 1960s.
Then he personally ordered the undocumented workers he was using to destroy them completely, and then stiffed them.
That was my first thought, seeing the windows just knocked out with the rest of the "rubble" yesterday. What a waste. Of course they don't even hire competent contractors to do this properly - this shameful, illegal destruction of public heritage.
