However, in the present case, I don't think the building in question is particularly noteworthy (no scale; no street presence; not particularly unique; plus it's already surrounded by office towers.)
The developer should have been allowed to tear it down IMO.
I still shake my head that the City of Kitchener allowed the Lang buildings on Joseph St. to be torn down (save for Deloitte's building).
The Record piece describes it as a "unique example of a working class home". I can't think of another example in Kitchener of a double bay duplex from the 1870s.
