That 5 storey warehouse type building around the Purdy's Wharf area lasted a bit longer than some of the others. What a loss. Downtown would feel a lot more cohesive with even just those 2 blocks tying the Purdy's area in with the older part of downtown.

I think it would be a lost opportunity not to try to reconstruct a little bit of this as part of the Cogswell interchange redevelopment. Maybe do some faithful masonry reconstruction of these buildings with modern construction above, similar to say TD or the Green Lantern development in eventual appearance.
