It was from the same time period that the Village depicts (ie 1914) was of the right scale to not dominate anything already there or be too difficult to move, even if it were brick-by-brick. With the right co-operation with places like Conestoga College or other local Masons, it would have been a perfect marriage of old and new.
I agree. I'm not known as someone sentimental about buildings merely because they are old. That one seemed worth saving.
