Terry Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 if you saw the restrictions they put on historic buildings and the financial burden on the owners sometimes burning to the ground is the only answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuck Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 We had one burn down on Dundas here in Oakville down the road from me a couple of years ago. The developer couldn't build on the site with it there and it had to be 'Preserved', with a gallon of gas and a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 My son works steps from there, so I called him and he went by there about 11 am and it was still smoldering. He said that same building collaped partially last year and has just been sitting there dangerously ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
