I own a property in Albert St and walk up and down the street most days. I am disheartened to read about the demolition application for the house at 11 Albert St. Disheartened and disappointed, but not surprised as the house has been left empty for some years and its exterior, and presumably interior, have deteriorated.
I understand that Albert St is within a historic conservation area, and suggest that this house certainly contributes to the heritage and character of the area. Would it be possible for the Council's Heritage Advisor to provide an opinion on the house?
Maybe there is a possibility that other development options could be considered for this (quite large) block that include retaining and restoring the existing house.
Each time a significant building such as this is lost, there is an impact on the overall historic and unique character of our neighbourhood.
Thank you for your consideration of my comments.
