  • why keep an old & visually ugly building?

    jes asked over 3 years ago

    Broadly speaking, it is well understood that one of the features that makes Old Strathcona attractive, contributes to the success of the area, and the reason why there is an Old Strathcona Provincial Historic Area, is the architectural richness and integrity of its historic buildings.


    To help better inform future decisions about the building, on November 13, 2020, the Provincial Minister of Culture, Multiculturalism and Status of Women issued notice to the property owner of the requirement to conduct a Historic Resource Impact Assessment (HRIA) prior to any changes being made to the property (including demolition).  The HRIA process will look at physical elements of the building, and include a condition and integrity assessment as well as an analysis of how the Archibald Block could be retained or incorporated into future redevelopment proposals for the property.  It will also help to understand if it is feasible to restore the building to its original appearance, recognizing that the building has been impacted over time by unsympathetic alterations
