The area is so unique and beautiful because of the old buildings, and that is what makes the Albert Park village so charming. Modern apartments are a dime a dozen, but a charming old building like the Post Office is history, and that architectural history cannot be replaced once it is taken down. Albert Park will not remain unique and beautiful if the buildings are taken down, and history will be lost forever. It is extremely upsetting that more was not done to prevent this from happening.
