I too think Halifax's newer office towers are generally bland and nondescript, but at least it means the (sober) colors and materials tend to blend well with the heritage buildings.

I can't exactly put my finger on why, but your home town (I think it is... right?) pulls off mixing old and new very well, and I'm guessing that the fact the "new" isn't "in your face" but is instead reserved and bland might be part of it.


Edit: and thanks a lot for the ironstone info and background info on these buildings, and the extra pics!
