Waterloo Region's Top 10 Buildings

[BuildingScout]

Here's my updated list incorporating the many suggestions from here, together with my rationale:

•     Galt Collegiate Institute (1906)  Nice architecture
  
•     Kaufman Building (1908) Nice building, historically significant design by Albert Kahn, nice conversion to apartments
  
•     Mutual Life building on King and Union (1912) Nice architecture, plus headquarters of a major insurance company
  
•     Seagram Museum (1984) nice building which marked the beginning of CCGG, Perimeter, CIGI and Barrel Yards
  
•     Davis Centre (1988) First modern, cutting edge architecture in the city in many years
  
•     Kitchener City Hall (1993) Award winning architecture comes to town
  
•     Perimeter Institute (2004) A landmark, architecturally still the best building in the region according to many
  
•     The Tannery (2007) A nice building but more importantly, the beginning of the Kitchener downtown renaissance
  
•     Cambridge City hall (2008) A nice building, perhaps the beginning of a Cambridge renaissance
  
•     Bauer Lofts (2009) First high density, mixed use development in the core. A major landmark and the shape of things to come.
  

Dropped: CIGI, Burt Mathews Hall, CCGG, all GG award winners. So is the Waterloo regional museum, which is also missing. If the list was on architectural grounds alone I would place three of those back instead of the Tannery, Bauer Lofts and the Davis Centre.
