no you're definitely not the only one. holy shit, the short bus just pulled up

in these two situations, Ol'Hickster, there is actually no work being done. both are just disputes about what work would be permitted in the future - and my guess is that in each case it would be very small scale demolition, not restoration. on alice street, the owner just wants to tear down the little garage. on manitoba, my understanding is that there isnt actually any sort of construction plan now, the owner just resents the city declaring his property a heritage property. as to who is doing the restoration work on the heritage wall being incorporated into the new city hall, i have no idea. i'll check out the trucks next time im downtown. its stunningly beautiful work. for city property, i agree with jaimoe, we should try to save things - although the cost of saving this wall has gone from around half a million dollars to close to two million now, so cost is a big factor in the decision. i just dont think its altogether fair however for the city to impose restrictions on the owners of these other two small private properties. dont get me wrong here. im not into razing history. i used to live in one of the oldest houses in the city. it was the original blacksmith's house in guelph and dates back to the early 19th century. beside was the actual smithy and both are beatiful old structures made of large, local stone. we no longer live there. in my mind it would make much more sense for the heritage board to have tried to designate those two buildings because of their obvious historical importance, than to designate two other buildings whose importance is debatable and in one case, simply no longer exists. that said, i dont think i would have been terribly pleased if the city had come to me one day in our old house and said "hey, you cannot do this or that with your house."

google searches "bite" when ya type "bites" and v-v, so if its good enough for google, its good enough pour moi. i say yea (especially in the spirit of keeping the momentum up)

only if you show us all that longboard of yours [color:gray]shit. quiet voice, dammit, quiet voice

yep, guelph city council did vote last night to designate these two properties. one is the little shop/garage on Alice Street. unless the owner appeals within 30 days he will forever be prevented from tearing it down. he has already indicated he will appeal and plans to tear it down to allow for parking. currently, the tiny structure is unusable, as it was when he purchased the modest property a few years ago. the other property is a very odd situation and one that may very well end up setting legal precedence regarding property rights and heritage designation. between 1883 and 1892 it is thought that a "cottage knitting industry" was run out of an outbuilding behind a house on manitoba street in guelph by a man named samuel carter who later became mayor. i say 'thought' because it is not known for certain if the actual knitting facility was located there or if it was simply listed as being there because this was the owner's home address (a very common way of doing things then). regardless, a full scale knitting factory was built in 1892 nearby (now ironically, abandoned and in complete disrepair across from the new guelph youth music hall) and the outbuilding on manitoba street was later torn down. it no longer exists and hasn't for decades. guelph city council voted last night to designate the manitoba street property as "culturally historic" because common perception is that there used to be a cottage industry knitting factory there. designation is based on this property being an example of the cultural evolution of the city where industry and residential areas were one and the same during the late 1800s. what seems so odd is that 1) the building in question hasn't actually existed for decades, and 2) it is not even certain that the building was actually used for the purposes for which heritage designation was sought. jaimoe, when you say perhaps the city is looking to preserve the whole block, this may very well be the case. it seems that the heritage board is seeking to reverse the current trend of gentrification and turn this older, modest working-class neighbourhood into some sort of static, living museum and city council is going along with it. the problem, especially with the manitoba street property, is that the physical structure upon which heritage status was based no longer exists. (and the alice street property is in such disrepair it is essentially unusable). so, why restrict the current owners use of their properties? wouldn't plaques suffice? a number of people in guelph woke up this morning scratching their heads. this is an odd one, for sure.

i may be wrong, but i think city council just voted to designate this house as a heritage property along with another property whose only historical relevance involves a building that hasnt actually existed for years. i'll read up on it tomorrow.
