The last iconic building remaining from old Hastings Street. Shame to see it altered in any way. Almost nothing survived after the 1960s, thanks to them putting in the public housing and the freeway.

If I'm right, you can make out the church in the background of this album's cover, a view from Hastings Street in the 1950s.

This would be priceless history in New York, San Francisco, London, etc. But here? Eh, not profitable. We can't subsidize buildings the market doesn't want. [[Though we can spend lots of public money to clean it up once it's ruined.)
