    🪅 Heritage Buildings

    Meanwhile, a developer wants to knock down this 1896 house at 41 Arlington Avenue in Centretown (PDF) ...  

    and replace it with the building below. 

    Says the Built Heritage Committee: ‘The new proposed three-storey eight-unit residential building supports intensification while maintaining a heritage feel in accordance with the Centretown Heritage Conservation District. Heritage staff believe the new building can successfully contribute to the district’s overall character.’

    You, dear reader, can see that this plain square building clearly has a frontpiece that is kind of like the outline of the old house that once stood there. Heritage!
