  Louis Sullivan said that if you live long enough you will see your buildings torn down.  Or, if you are lucky, you get to see it moved to a better location.

   

  This one now awaits a trip by barge from the Jersey Shore through NY Harbor to Long Island.  The U-tube of it going down the street demonstrates one advantage of having a flat roof.
