I believe the regulations there are/were more relaxed, making the job a lot cheaper.
It's too bad the original interiors are gone. But on the other hand, the fact that they are gone helps the prospects for repurposing. Recreating some of the original public spaces (bars, restaurants) could be done and I think that would be popular, given the lasting "craze" for all things Mid-Century.
