Deconstructing

The main branch of the Bank of Montreal has moved and the building which has been here for the past 30 years is slowly being torn down

[bruni]

A familiar sight. what will replace it.

[Henri Russell]

sad to see mainstay buildings disappear. Any plans announced for new construction?

[Candace]

It looks as if they be recycling materials though!

[Lynne Hart]

That's progress I suppose, wonder what will replace it? Nice capture before it disappears for ever.

[Jane Anderson]

Very interesting! I wonder what will take its place.

[Karly]

30 years? Somehow, as I get older, 30 years doesn't seem very long! Always interesting to watch this kind of work happening.

[J A Byrdlip]

Wonder if they would implode the building? But carefully...

[Diane]

Good shot.

[gloria jones]

Nice shot of the construction site

[Catherine]

Lots of different shapes and sizes.

[Ivan]

Interesting bit of redevelopment...

[Pat Knowles]

Wonder what's going in it's place! Usually putting buildings up these days!

[Kas]

Hopefully it will be replaced with something better.

[Anita Campbell]

And in its place will be.....?

[Kathie]

Looks out of place among those tall buildings

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Babs]

So sad.

[Chris H]

Interesting to see what will replace it.

[Kerri]

So sad.

[Sheralee S]

For a moment I thought you were in Montreal visiting and then realised it's just the name of the bank. It always surprises me that they can tear down perfectly good buildings and rebuild.

[Harbie]

It is interesting to watch them take down buildings!!

[Fr1da]

Good shot of the urban landscape

[Margo Sayer]

Lots of work going on here...lots of dust too!
