A few years ago Guigues was slated for a pretty impressive rebuild as a seniors' condo building but it fell through.

I'd say that like many other buildings that are too close for comfort to the main Shepherds shelter at the corner of King Edward and Murray the development options are often stymied by this fact.

Once again, feel free to correct any errors.

The former school is now in danger of collapsing:
