Call me a NIMBY, but this sounds like an incredible loss to the community. The Huether is one of the most iconic historic buildings left in the Region and it sounds like they're going to just keep the facade and a few other bits and pieces. I'm honestly shocked the whole building isn't protected.

The Adlys family is responsible for the Huether being what it is today, so I look forward to seeing what they and the developers will come up with. I think that they are sensitive to the heritage value of the building.
