This is a case example that helps to explain why so much of our built heritage is lost. The house was registered, the HRM staff recommended against demolition, and council agreed to the request by the owner to demolish. While it may still be there, there is no ability to keep it there. Owners really do get what they want. My take on the Heritage Trust is that they fight the good fight, and as Gandhi said: "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." I applaud their efforts, even if the results are sometimes minimal.
