I think it is a really sad and damning statement of the local architecture that a building can be added to the registry on the basis of "1) it uses vitriolite 2) it has a triangular roof support for the drive through and 3) it uses yellow brick (not-visible and actually more brown then yellow)".
This reminds me of the otherwise rather forgettable movie "Doc Hollywood" in which the town of Grady inadvertently damns itself with faint price by declaring themselves ‘The Squash Capital of the South’.
Yup, that's the one.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, maybe it's because we've lost some great heritage pieces in the past, but Heritage Kitchener over protects properties on a regular basis.
It's an old warehouse full of asbestos and 60's cladding. Nothing on the side street shows it worthy of preserving.
Sorry ... but there is nothing architecturally worth protecting here.
