The heritage building, now little more than a crumbling façade, is suspended in its dilapidated state due to a legal battle between the city and the building’s owner. The former owner, Edgar Mitchell, sold the building after being in his family for three generations. He shares some of the history of the once great building while the Centretown News multimedia team provides a rare look inside.
