I have the feeling that the fate of the Mayfair was sealed when the three storey addition was added in the 1920s. I understand that it came as a surprise when the grey brickwork that was exposed on the ground floor was found to be load-bearing. I don't think the original building was really fit to take that three storey addition. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that the three storey eastern portion of the building can be saved.
