Barron Building

[93JC]

What's the scoop? I had heard a couple years ago that it was going to be refurbished and "brought back to its former glory", but I was in Manulife House (across the alley) Monday morning and noticed the interiors are completely gutted and it's sitting totally empty (including Jack Barron's old penthouse suite on the 11th floor).


(For those who don't know the Barron Building is "Calgary's first skyscraper", the art deco building on 8th Ave that The Uptown cinema is in.)


Thought somebody might know more about the situation.
