Such a beautiful historic place . I have seen a few times an finally stopped to check it out . So sad after some research that it will likely be demolished :(

is this place still around? I did a google search on articles and nothing recent.
There is a fantastic report on this property (a Heritage Impact Statement) including the history of the property and some great historic photos on the Owen Sound website http://www.owensound.ca/planning/documents/Heritage_Impact_Assessment.pdf
we gotta save the brothels..A part of our pioneer heritage..every major town had one.
