The Real Brierwood Plaza
As a public service, I present to you the real Brierwood Plaza. I half expected that the preservationist in me would find some good qualities in the building as I got up close to it, but I found nothing. It’s not well built. It’s a lot of fascia over lumber. It’s has no unique aspects,…
