"Other concerns included demolishing of two large brick century homes, including a house built by Jacob Baetz, a prominent builder and city councillor who was inducted into the region’s Hall of Fame."

If Baetz was a prominent builder, wouldn't there be a number of other houses (built by  him) in the city?

Perhaps, but none of them were his home.  There's cultural heritage to be considered as well ....  Not saying the house should be preserved, but it should go through a rigourous heritage consideration.

Was it his home? The article doesn't mention that. In any case, I do believe it has already gone through a heritage assessment and did not make it onto the list of protected properties.
