Prince Albert Street renovation

It's coming up to the 2-year anniversary of an on-going neighbourhood restoration project, so I thought I'd show an update photo as compared to the "before" shot.

I chronicled this house a couple of years ago becausae it was actually written up in The Courier as an eye-sore by at least one neighbour. Fairly quickly after that article was published, the property changed hands and an extensive renovation was undertaken.

I'm not sure if the new owners intended for it to take this long, but at least it's made great strides towards completion. One would never know by its current appearance that it was once on the verge of literally collapsing, as can be seen by the diagonal structural beams supporting the second story.

Approximately 2009.
