at the risk of sounding like a NIMBY, this building is actually part of what gives Inglewood its character and charm. It’s part of why people want to visit and live there. The loss of this building would be pretty significant.

"Carol Ryder, his aunt, is on the board and is far more well known to most Calgarians - board chair at Alberta University of the Arts for one. And someone who has in the past claimed to love Calgary."

This city has absolutely no respect for it's past.

Nah this is awful all around. There's enough to complain about here that doing so doesn't make you a nimby.

I used to live in Inglewood for many years (and own a few businesses there too). I'm always sad to see any building with character get demolished but sadly this building has had a slumlord running it into the ground for years now. Sadly the root of the issue is that the slumlords are incentivized to do stuff like this and suffer zero consequences (and make a pretty penny while they're at it).

I will be really pissed off if the Gresham Block demolition is allowed to go ahead. We have so few historical lyrics significant buildings as it is. This is simply inexcusable.

Agreed, I never want to see those beautiful buildings go, something needs to be done about the landlords. In that community alone, there's pretty much 4 that dominant that whole area (of the commercials spots) and pretty much all of them are waiting to cash in. There's only one landlord that actually cares about maintaining the integrity of the community and those historic buildings.
