Though no one would accuse the H&M store in Harlem of being the ugliest thing on the block?this stretch of 125th Street isn't quite AIA guide book material?the Swedish fast-fashion giant pumped some cash into a pretty thorough facelift for the building. Gone is the "big steel cube," in Harlem Bespoke's words, and the scaffolding just came down to reveal a bright new stucco facade with a cornice at the top. Next thing you know, Ikea will add bay windows to its Red Hook bunker.
