We should post more photos here.

Ogilvy just needed a good interior cleanout and exterior restoration (could have used bricks and detailing from Besserer façade), but 0 structural work. That thing was solid as could be!
BTW, I'm starting a Rideau Street thread to continue this conversation.

He may not be completely to blame, but if the reason Claridge can't be touched is because of him then it's in his ward and the city's best interest to replace him with someone else who is willing to challenge them. Otherwise Claridge is, maybe unintentionally, holding us all hostage to bad architectural and urban design without penalty. But if he cares about the city and wins again then he needs to take a step up against Claridge.
I know my Nonna is sad to see Ogilvy go. She worked there when they moved back from Omaha.
