Plywood Down at Paper Source
The plywood is finally down at the old Bueno spot at 102 Smith Street. The stationery store Paper Source will be moving in, but the storefront isn’t filled yet. Instead all we have is this less-than-inspiring facade. Stationary Store for Bueno Spot [Brownstoner] GMAP

What I like is how the mason laid the bricks – I’m guessing right off the palette, without mixing them up so they form a giant series of arrows pointing to the door. Quality.
There wasn’t anything the architect or contractors could do to make this storefront slightly more attractive, slightly mroe welcoming, and more fitting with the other buildidngs in the area??
