Which, I find dumb, because all the heritage properties are either full out, or part faux heritage architecture. There's a reason it's called classical revival or neoclassical between 1895-1950. Majority of downtown that we like is a copy of roman, and classical architecture styles. They're beautiful and grand, and the reason we respect them is because it's 100 years old. This and the Olympia will be seen like the beautiful 1940s buildings we love but aren't as old as the 1860s to 1870s architecture.
