I know someone who lived in the place, and it is apparently an absolute nightmare of liability and sunken money. I can only imagine how stressful it is for the rest of the owners.

This building? The Priest's residence?

A new residence is up behind the original building which is getting demolished. Most of those trees are gone now, too. It will have a very different look.This building? The Priest's residence?

Another giant apartment complex. Gawd forbid it’s not on U of A land cause apparently if we don’t build on U of A land like they are apparently building on U of C land….then it’s not worth building?

Could ordinary lay people live in that building? Or are you in the clergy?!

I think I would make a great nun. But no, I've never even seen the place in-person.

I missed the "know someone who" part. Sorry!

My uncle did their renovations a good few years ago, room by room by room (each time he finished one, they added another because it made the unfinished ones look terrible by comparison). Sad to see it go... it's a lovely building...on the outside at least!

Good point - it's an 80's thing - Bee Bell Bakery was wildly popular in a building next door, I believe - that burned down - this building is the re-birth of it. Subsequently, it closed down what seems like 20 years ago.....and varying establishments have come and gone. It was "THE" place to go if you wanted an expensive birthday or anniversary cake etc.

I still can't quite tell what this banner is saying. Is the existing building on this site for lease, even though it looks nothing like what's on the banner? What's going on?

The picture looks like it's 8124 103 St (along Gateway Blvd just across from Station Park, south of Hudsons), not "The Bell" south of The Hat building. The sign o nthe render even matches one of the stores that's there right now (the corset place)

Yeah, sorry I guess I'm showing my age a bit. Bee Bell bakery originally was in the building where nightshade corsets is in on gateway Blvd.
