The Kislak building is historic because it’s old enough but is not in keeping with the time period of the historic district which is why it stands out. It’s ugly as sin.

They can only mandate in exchange for a historic landmark designation or for tax credits. They don’t have the power to mandate what people do with their unless they’re giving something in exchange.
