A bigger problem is that the kitschy gables are a completely unnecessary embellishment of an already poorly conceived facade by a builder [[or an owner) pretending to be an architect. Whoever decided upon the final design really squandered a great opportunity to improve a rare intact Detroit streetscape with a new storefront. Too bad there wasn't some kind of design oversight by the HDC or DEGC. Can't complain about the new investment though. If it's any good, I'll patronize the place.
