(links to an as yet to be updated blurb on the building – I will forward that separately. I have asked Reema to send a few photos of some architectural features she and Lori have taken. They can be posted on the section on the building. Also, Lola did up a map to show the herald where to deliver the paper…. I will ask her to send that. Might be worth posting, although I think there was a typo….I will check and we will recreate as necessary)
