Do you think it has significant architectural value? It doesn't... it has history, but in its current condition it has no architectural value.
Architectural? Probably not. Historical/industrial heritage? I can think of no more important site in Kitchener. To save nothing of, for example, the bit fronting Courtland that dates (I think) back to the 1920s seems to me to be a needless loss of local historical memory. It is what it is, but I regret it.
That said, I like the idea of the park stretching the full depth of the site- seems like it will follow the course of Shoemaker Creek, which I hope will be uncovered.
