It's a bit hard to see in the screenshots. If you zoom in on the PDF versions here you can make it out a little better (the *.TIFF files might be higher resolution but I didn't check). I could be totally wrong though and it's just a similar building, but all I know of architecture has me believing it was already there by the 30s. Here's a link to the aerial photos...just click on the IM30 square in the centre to see aerial photos of downtown between 1930 to 1963: https://lib.uwaterloo.ca/locations/umd/project/KW.html

Anyway, yeah, I would have totally power washed this thing and had the areas around the windows refinished. Maybe add some colour on the ground floor for better highlights and some nice lighting. Woulda looked a lot more interesting than dipping the entire thing in a bucket of white paint haha.
