Recalibrating heritage: Development alchemy for disused buildings

Submitted by fht on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 5:31 pm

An abandoned shoe factory is converted to a trendy apartment building; the boiler room of a former canoe factory becomes an alternative gallery/studio/performance space; a crumbling train station catches a new “spirit” as part of a liquor store complex. The “York Street Historic Corridor” starts to take on a life of its own. Architect Jon Oliver and developer David Davis lead us through the transformation of the Hartt Shoe Factory and offer comments on recent renovations to two adjacent heritage buildings.
