Pretty uninspiring for sure. I agree with the above posters that at least the facade of the older building should have been kept.

I find mid-century buildings like this have a really interesting style, a nice rhythm to the design with good use of materials. Yet seem to go unappreciated, and not considered 'historical' in any sense, perhaps because they aren't 'old enough' or are not considered to be significant since they are not from one of the the traditional historical architecture periods, i.e. Victorian, etc.(?)

Anyhow, even if the old building won't be kept in some way, at least it should be replaced by something that is at least as nice. This one is a definite disappointment. Yet another Halifax architecture failure...
