Hamilton has been hurt enough by the decimation of dozens of streets razed to build the abomination that is Jackson Square and to widen York. Hamilton is one city that should try to keep anything from it's historic past.

Though I do recall there being structural issues with these buildings according to another forumer on another thread. Someone could fix them, but it would big $$$
