Hoarding is up around the buildings in anticipation of the demolition of Brantford’s 41 heritage buildings on the south side of Colborne Street. Here is the Water Street side of the Pre-Confederate Block, which once backed onto a large canal, which has since been filled in to be replaced with a parking structure.
As seen here, because of the steep slope, many of these buildings, although only 2-4 storeys on the Colborne Street side, are 5-7 storeys on the Water Street side.
More at the protest group on Facebook, and on the Save the South Side tumblr.
