NYC Hall Post Office and Courthouse located along Broadway in Civic Center at Lower Manhattan. A Second Empire style building built from 1869-1880, demolished in 1939 because people hated it and deemed it “ugly”.
Ignorance flourishes sometimes. If you like the striking look of this beautiful building a still existing building built in this style is the Philadelphia City Hall. Here’s some additional information about this sadly lambasted piece of architecture if anyone’s curious.
