It is campy to describe the areas of exposed bricks as "unsightly blotches."
I still remember when the building still had its outdoor staircase, which was removed (or fell off) no later than May 2012, per G. Streetview.
Holy shit the building is from 1844!
I prefer that Honda Civic from circa 2012-2015 to that old New Beetle.
