didn’t Trump destroy a historic and architecturally significant building facade in NYC?

As I recall he purchased a historic building and agreed to preserve the art deco facade. He the proceeded to bring in a crew of undocumented workers, forced them to live in the empty building, and had them rip off the old, historic facade?

Someone needs to publicize that.
