Sometimes a building comes to an end of it's useful life. Should "we" preserve old buildings is the question. Sure "we" should, but only when "we" get our money out, and do it.

Great solid old building. Every city should keep a few of their historical properties. Have often noticed the stonework on the building when I was driving by

Threatened Risteen building in Fredericton considered for heritage designation
Development blocked for 60 days while heritage board considers fate of 1820s stone cut building
The City of Fredericton has halted any work on the Risteen building in downtown Fredericton for 60 days, so council can assess whether the property should be brought under the heritage preservation bylaw.
A temporary order to cease activity was issued to developer Gabriel Elzayat when his application to demolish the building was submitted.
"And if (council) elect to designate it, then the bylaw needs to be amended and it becomes part of the heritage bylaw area," said Juan Estepa, the manager of heritage and urban design with the city.
That could take months, said Estepa.
"Then it's up to the Preservation Review Board to consider the demolition request and any development that may happen on that property," he said.
The first cut stone building in New Brunswick, the Risteen building was built in the 1820s by Anthony Lockwood, surveyor general of New Brunswick.
It later became the Risteen Sash and Door factory, supplying many of the finishings to houses and buildings around the city.
Elzayat wants to build apartments on the site. He owns several buildings in the immediate area that are also expected to be part of the development. He did not wish to comment on the council order.
"This developer bought the property knowing that this was a potential situation, and it was a risk he was prepared to take," Estepa said.

Methinks you should ask our latest Minister of Heritage Robert Gauvin N'esy Pas?

And here we go again. A small group of people wanting to keep Fredericton old and decrepit, instead of new and vibrant. It's too bad we can't have nice things around here.

Reply to @Aaron James: New and vibrant and old and decrepit are in the eyes of the beholder. I find the new builds uninspiring and cheaply built, the motivation is pure profit.
