Our heritage is under threat
A consent has been granted for the partial demolition of historic Building One at Carrington to make way for a new road. We have created a petition to save all of this heritage landmark.
Under threat are the two south wings of Building One, which comprise nearly 10% of the building. Although these wings were an addition to the original structure, added in 1905, they remain of great historic value, and are of the same vintage as the protected and restored Union Steamship Co. and Saatchi & Saatchi buildings.
We believe that the consent to demolish an integral portion of Building One is contrary to the principle of heritage preservation, and was granted erroneously. We also believe that the proposed roadway can and should be re-routed, which will in no way reduce the amount of land available for housing development.
As part of our campaign to preserve all of Building One, we have created a petition that urges Government to halt the planned demolition, and we encourage everybody who cares about our heritage and our community to sign.
