Can you believe that they're going to completely demolish the heritage listed Lonsdale House, a one of a kind art deco skyscraper to widen a delivery lane for trucks ???
They won't even save the facade which is complete ######.
Lonsdale House was on the cover of the book Melbourne Art Deco and was the centrepiece of the Art Deco exhibition at the National Gallery last year.
