stevens-davis building's glazed terra cotta ornament destroyed during its demolition

yesterday afternoon i watched as the parapet wall with terra cotta name plaque come crashing down. in the process both border sections and rondel were chipped or damaged. the sullivanesque terra cotta is a total loss, but it appears the plaque - minus border - will live on. the ornament should have been saved - all of it. i'm so tired of this shit.
