On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

I'm watching the Built Heritage Committee meeting about this (and other proposals) at the moment.

I didn't know that the old Legion House had already had three extra stories tacked on three years after it was originally opened up. That precedent being established, I'm only mildly surprised by this proposal to raise it to 30 stories. Details here:

Watching this as I continue my searching and researching this morning.

First item: Porter's Island Bridge - built in 1894. Possible designation as heritage property, closed off since the 1970's to pedestrian usage. Porter's Island was originally used as a plague hospital site, later as Depression-era emergency housing, and currently hosts two seniors' apartment towers accessible by another bridge.

Have a look!
