Avons-nous un nouveau projet pour ce site? Le projet et image en haut du fil date de 2007...

Ce fil est dans la section "annulés" du forum. On a pas plus d'infos que ça pour le moment !

Wait, they're demolishing that historical building?

From what I understand, this is a 1952 addition, hence "not historical". You can clearly see it on one of my earlier pictures.

 

I found this very interesting blog entry on Avant L'autoroute that details the history of this site.

 

Here is the 2008 OCPM report which provides accurate details (including shadow casting!) about the then-approved project. Only the 1892 original building is to be preserved and restored. Some balconies will also be rebuilt as they used to be. The 1911 wing also looks like it will be torn down. In fact they might just tear down the whole thing and rebuild it from scratch, for soundproofing and generally bring everything up-to-code.

 

I'm just surprised as you are that work resumed out of nowhere. I wouldn't yet move this out of "cancelled", maybe this was a demolition contract already established that they couldn't back out of? (I don't know much about these things).

Wow ils démolissent l'aile de 1911. Une autre partie du patrimoine qui part en fumée.

Voici un excellent document sur la question, spécialement pour les cartes avant-apres:
