Unfortunately this is shaping up to be another lost opportunity to produce quality architecture that incorporates historic buildings. The design has the appearance of a combined Joseph Howe Building and One Gov. Place. If the new structure were set back approx. 6 ft. on the Granville side it would give the Acadian Recorder Bldg. and the Dennis building more prominence. I know only the facades will remain but the new structure could form the set back. We also have another example of a blank wall flying under the radar until it is built and then people realize what a mistake it was.
