It's pretty surprising that someone would go to this much trouble to redevelop a fairly uninteresting historic building as a smallish modern hotel. But it's great that they apparently are. It's another unanticipated bonus to the cause of historic preservation (along with the Fortune Block).
I wonder how many pre-1939 buildings downtown are still un-redeveloped at this point. It can't be all that many. Winnipeg should be proud of its record of achievement in this area.
