An old postcard view of the old Paul Martin Sr. building, shortly after its opening in 1933. Over the last decade or so the building has really fallen on hard times, and despite a few proposals being floated, no renovation or sale of the building to a new party has taken place. Instead, the building continues to deteriorate and run the risk of demolition by neglect.

Maybe Dan Gilbert will buy it and spread his real estate empire across the border.
Wouldn’t that be great, Duncan!
Unfortunately we don’t have people who value heritage buildings here so that will never happen. we have the same people owning the same buildings doing very little with them. That includes the Feds…shame on them!
