The "restoration" of an Art Deco era Burton's store

Montague Burton, the tailor of taste. But, imho, not so tasteful these days on Long Eaton High Street.I have just been alerted to the "restoration" of a Burton's store in Derbyshire. I know this isn't in London, but I fear this type of thing is likely to happen on similar sites here in the capital. Ugh – paint it black strikes again!I'm here stealing/copying the pics from the link above to show the before and after, though the first pic looks to be from Google streetview anyway:Hmmm... me no likey – Burton's façade had survived, complete with the Burton logo at the top, for almost 100 years. Yet, rather than remove a layer of stone-coloured paint (see close-up below) and give it the Portland stonework a gentle clean, they've instead sloshed black and white paint all over it. I notice that their second pic is captioned 'Burtons building revamped' which better describes what's happened here. OK, so they've reinstated from [fake?] windows, but it would never have looked like this back in…
