How sad. I thought Canadians had more respect for their history than that. | ||

A real shame. That building appeared to be in good condition exteriorwise, and could have been put to good use! | ||

Yeah; definitely. There are buildings being rehabbed in the D that have been vacant a lot longer than 8 years. Also, I bet that some of them had infestation problems let alone many other problems. | ||

That is a loss--that was a terrific old building. I was in that place many times when Big Brothers of Windsor-Essex County occupied it--narrow stairs, creaky floors, small offices--it was a great old place. | ||

The sad thing is knowing what CBS outdoors does, that spot will most likely become a giant billboard; or a staging area for billboards. | ||

Un-f-ing believable! "...weren’t keen on the liability of the rodent infested building." Hopefully the rats will migrate to CBS and take up residents with the ones that tore that beauty down. | ||

Well the building next door is a great 1940's era streamlined moderne building that also might be next for the bulldozers as the operations look to be consolodated in Toronto. | ||

Sad...The house looked fine to me. Call pest control for the rats. How disappointing.  | ||

I can't believe it's gone that quickly! I inquired about that house about a year ago and the owners did not want to sell. I wanted to either restore it there or was going to look into the possibility of moving the house but the owners wouldn't budge. I then inquired about possibly purchasing the doors and mouldings/casings but again was rebuffed. How much does anyone want to bet that it was all bulldozed into a junk heap without any salvage whatsoever? Another loss for this city..what a shame. | ||

And jjaba was hoping to cruise over for bricks for his backyard barbeque. He was hoping to stack them on top of some "imported Tartan sweaters and kilts" in the pick-up. Sad to see that Victorian-going-Italianate knocked down, eh. The bricks alone could have become something. Windsor won't get any Green Bldgs. awards from jjaba today. jjaba, Werstside Preservationist. | ||

Awesome! I bet that location will make a killer parking lot. | ||

I can't believe they tore that down, and so soon. Wow! |
