The 1976 Department of City Planning Architectural Survey was not kind to this building. The rating for architectural design was only 1 on a scale that ranges from -2 to 5.

The comment on the survey form read: "Lumpy, heavy but pleasant. Quite disappointing for this site."

Having looked at many of these 1976 survey forms, I've concluded that the surveyors were difficult to please. I can only fantasize about living in such a "disappointing" mansion.
