RE: Harvey's Road, the last major destructive fire in St. John's.
The area before the fire:
Basically everything you can see except the building at right was destroyed. (The Church Lad's Brigade, the building with the grand entrance, looks the same in both but note ONLY the entrance in stone survived the fire. The new building is even set back from that preserved entrance).
The replacements have been reasonable in my opinion:
The part Marty is referring to is that little gridiron block, or whatever I'm supposed to call it. Authentic old clapboard houses and commercial buildings were replaced with faux heritage ones.
To be honest, I like the first green one, and the pink gallery. The others, though, don't look like anything. They have some heritage elements but architecturally they don't make sense lol
