Une demolition n'est pas une construction, mais pour le moment ça va dans la bonne direction.

Oui on le voit avec Le Victoire

Wow!! Anyone know what this building originally was ? Before the awful metal siding was put on while Omer Deserres occupied the structure ?

Canadian Tire

[Rocco]

The metal siding was actually put for the Canadian Tire almost 20 years ago. Then Canadian Tire closed and Omer DeSerres took the space for a few years before closing.

Right. I don't know what was there before Canadian Tire but I'd be willing to bet it was beautiful Victorians torn down to make way for PROGRESS and MODERNISM.

Thought I was in the MBAM - Pavillon pour la Paix Michal et Renata Hornstein thread for a moment

That took a while, but it is a step in the right direction.

You can tell from the picture that at one point, they put in cement blocks to cover up windows - presumably right before installing the metal siding. I'd love to see a pic before this was done!
