The city needs to get on designating it.

Coming from Toronto, it constantly amazes me how much older structures are in Hamilton. There is very little from the first half of the 19th century in Toronto, yet alone the 18th century, and Hamilton is absolutely full of stuff from that era, including probaby a dozen 18th century structures at least.

the City approved demolishing an 18th century storefront in Stoney Creek a few months ago, for example.. It was really more of a shack so I get why, but still neat to see buildings with construction dates in the 1700's mentioned at all.

I agree. Especially considering how little stock remains, or ever existed in the first place - you could list the population of the whole former county in the 18th century on the back of a stamp.

Someone should contact the city about it.

"Existing building to be removed"

Not sure if thats referring to the strip mall or 33 Bowen. I'm guessing both.

This development does not include 33 Bowen Street.

Good to hear. It would be a shame to lose one of the oldest buildings in the core, never mind the city.

It'll certainly run right up to it, but so does the plaza now.

33 Bowen hopefully won't be obscured with this development? Perhaps they could tastefully feature it based on it's unique structure and historical lineage.

Unlikely to be the case with Coletara affiliation: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/thread...1/post-2071671

There were crews here today drilling core samples.
