I'm not against heritage, but in this case, this structure had lost its soul decades ago. It was just a shell of its former self.

I just mean that 'faking' heritage is not something I support. If it was between replication or demolition I would probably prefer the money went to rehab other 'real' sites rather than replication of one.
Years ago the Herald did a survey of "send us pics of heritage sites which are important to you" or something of that nature and more than one person sent in the Barley Mill in Eau Claire, fooled into thinking it was part of Calgary's history even though it was probably 10 years old at the time. I would prefer to not sow even more confusion.
