Plus 15 To.......

.....nowhere.

Watch that last step - it's a doosey. They tore down the building but left the Plus 15 standing.

This used to be a beautiful turn of the century (last century, ~1910's) warehouse district, that was determined to be not quite historical enough.

So down she comes to build what will likely be just another soulless, glass and steel slab. With a generous dollop of poured concrete, I am sure, which I think is a rule in downtown Calgary.

So in summary, little metal tubes connecting buildings are worth saving, but iconic brick buildings are not. Bleah...
