Wow. What happened? <><
This is the work of the heritage committee. They have very strict rules and a lot of power. So the owners of this building wanted to demolish, and they got the permit - for everything but the front wall:) Now they're rebuilding to include the old facade, which I think is good because if it wasn't for these guys - though I grant they can go too far - this entire historic city would be razed and rebuilt in vinyl-sided hunks of ugly.
Wow, new definition of "nit-picky," lol. But I agree with you whole-heartedly. Rarely do people build for the ages anymore. The Great Fire did enough damage as it was. Speaking of which, did u know that there was a plan to fire the Loyalist City should the enemy--particularly Germany--gain a toehold, or it begin to look as if the Allies would lose? Apparently it came very close to being used. A last ditch effort...scorched earth at close range....It made me shudder to read...
