It doesn't need to be beautiful (by today's standards), but at least it needs to be something substantial. Having been designed by an architect will make this more likely.
The Heritage Committee on the other hand seems bent on saving every ugly and mediocre example of an architectural style. Don't fool yourself, this doesn't make the city interesting. It makes it ugly and mediocre.
A drive-through dry cleaning shop doesn't qualify on those counts, though, and I'm happy that the council turned that one down.
