This building, the former home of the Chronicle Herald, is currently vacant. It was built after a 1912 fire destroyed the Dennis Building on Granville St.
The Coast says it will be torn down soon, though there are no concrete plans for what is to be built on the site.
A shame to see it go. I plan to go take more pictures before they knock her down.

Love to see the area map & area affected by this new construction & what the new building in & outside will look kike. Very exciting times for Halifax and attracting newer & bigger attractions & conventions.
And losing so much of its definitive character in the process.
