The ND (Building) Rises Again ..... The little group of stores at the midpoint of 53 and 55 Street has always been watched with interest by those living in the neighbourhood or associated with the Neighbourhood Church (Baptist) formerly Highlands Baptist Church. Over the years various little stores operated out of the building (I am thinking of writing an account of the stores that have occupied 112 Avenue from 50 Street to say 76 Street for the January issue). At the last 'rising', shortly after the NDs sold the building, it was thought a hair dressing salon would be the tenant...and although there were changes made to the building ... they stopped midstream and we were left with a bit of an eyesore .... Recently I noted new work so visited the site and had a fairly long conversation with the fellow doing all the work and can now tell you there is a new owner, the building is being completely gutted and transformed into a facility that will have living quarters at the east end, offices in the middle and a storage area for equipment in the western portion. I learned that the new owner of the building was in the demolition business .... If I'm right and this occurs (several months down the road) .... you read it here first, if it doesn't.. .. then, don't believe everything you read in our Newsletter! March 20, 2016: Nothing at the building indicates a demolition business exists here. The renovations were finished and the back portion of the lot nicely fenced. A 'for sale' sign now is displayed for the building |
