You have somewhat made the argument against your case; it has nothing to do with the shell, and everything to do with what is done with it moving forward. Mayfair or the land it occupies could just as easily be turned into something great; it maintaining the Mayfair aesthetic has nothing to do with that end result, beyond a specific preference of some.

I would love to trade places with your world where this is a tragedy.
