This is a detail of the intricate cornice of The Elks Building on 44th Road. This beautiful renaissance revival building with unique terra cotta details is threatened by demolition to make way for yet another luxury condo building. With very few unique buildings of this type in LIC, it is a very sad statement of how the developers interests are destroying the unique places that make LIC a great place to live.
