Hmm? they must erect something around it to stabilize the old structure before it tips over

 

[whatever]

They did a whole bunch of stabilization work on it a few years ago. It might be ok

They will be reinforcing the tower since it will be moved as well.

Working on the old clock tower today.

Does anyone have an image of what the clock tower originally looked like. I'm glad it's being kept but some of those design elements on the upper section look like a tacky DIY job.

The plans of the original firehouse are available in the heritage report - they give a very good idea what the tower is like.

From this morning - some of the missing brickwork has been temporarily (?) repaired:

Tacky? I don't understand. In disrepair, yes but tacky is not a description I'd use. Maybe if it was a new structure mimicking this style.

That white wooden 'fence' two-thirds the way up with the 'X' pattern is definitely tacky.... as is the roofing tile used.

yup it's been butchered through out the years, but then again many here are too young to realize that
