'Sickened' by the prospect of demolition JOELLE DALLY
High-profile Christchurch businessman Ben Gough has applied to demolish the central city's heritage-listed art deco Public Trust Office building.
The New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT) says the building should be saved, and a heritage advocate is "sickened" by the prospect of demolition.
Tailorspace Investments, owned by Gough, has applied to the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) for a section 38 notice that would allow the demolition of the building, at 152-156 Oxford Tce.
Designed by renowned architect Cecil Wood, the 1922-1925 building is a Group 3 protected heritage site in the Christchurch City Plan and a NZHPT Category 2 historic place.
Earthquake-strengthening was carried out in 2009, with the work including the incorporation of new shear walls to the full height of the building.
Ben Gough is controlling shareholder and deputy chairman of Gough Holdings, one of the city's biggest family-owned companies. His relative, Antony Gough, is behind a $140 million Oxford Tce development.
Cera confirmed Tailorspace had applied for a section 38 notice and that a decision was "imminent". The trust is legally powerless to prevent demolition if a section 38 notice is issued. Its archaeological consent is only required for pre-1900 buildings.
"The number of heritage buildings remaining in the central city has halved and this is a stand-alone survivor on its block," trust southern general manager Rob Hall said.
Ben Gough and Tailorspace Investments management did not respond to calls yesterday. A company representative said it was "going through a PR company" and would not be able to respond until Monday.

Demolition plan for Public Trust building
Written by Rich Forestano Wednesday, 05 February 2014 00:00
The demolition of the old KeySpan building located at 250 Old Country Road in Mineola is currently ongoing. The complete tear-down is expected to conclude some time in February. Lake Success-based Lalezarian Developers will construct a nine-story, 315-unit apartment complex at the site.
Parts of the structure were pulled down earlier this month. The final demolition days are at 4 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 6, Tuesday, Feb. 11 and Friday, Feb. 14., but are subject to change. No explosives are being used during tear-downs, according to Mineola village officials.
Weather initially delayed the start of the demolition, Mayor Scott Strauss said. Lalezarian had to postpone the first few pull-downs of the structure.
Its going the way its supposed to go, Strauss said in a phone interview. They have the rest of the building scheduled to go and its moving along as it should.
Developers resubmitted plans to Mineola twice since taking over the property. Ken Lalezarian estimated the total demolition would be 85 percent complete by this week.
ALGONQUIN Three structures in the Old Town District are slated for demolition.
The Village Board, in a 4-2 vote on Tuesday, decided to reverse a Historic Commission decision and allow for the demolition of two commercial buildings and a garage at 107-111 W. Algonquin Road, which is in the Old Town District.
As part of the board's decision, the property owners have to make buildings available for anyone wishing to relocate or salvage them. The owners however have six months to complete the demolition on the property and put sod on the land, among other things.
The owners also have to provide a $40,000 site restoration bond the village can use in case the owners don't complete the work on the property.
There are no plans for the site other than to remove the buildings and sod/seed the property. Any plan for site redevelopment would need Village Board approval.
"We as a board have to look to the future, and try to blend both the historical value as well as having something vibrant in our downtown that will lure more people, to utilize our downtown." said Trustee Jerry Glogowski, who voted in favor of allowing the demolition, along with Trustees Brian Dianis, Jim Steigert and John Spella.
The building has many structural problems and there are leaky pipes and cracks in the foundation. Repairs to the buildings could cost $100,000, according to village documents.
The village's downtown redevelopment plan calls for redevelopment of the property as a multi-story commercial and/or residential development.
Trustees Robert Smith and Debby Sosine voted against the demolition request.
"Our ordinance is in place for a reason. It's to preserve this area. Anyone who buys there knows it's there," Smith said. "To sit there and let this property owner neglect our ordinances, pay no attention to it and let this building just go away . [and] they're going to seize the opportunity to get out from underneath it From a business sense I can see that. But at the same point, they have aresponsibility to the community, they have to adhere to our ordinances."

More demolition grants available for tear downs
OSAGE | Whether you wanted the demolition of the Mitchell County Courthouse, there was one thing everyone could agree on Tuesday: It was the biggest show in town.
Streets bordering the 1858 structure the center of lots of debate in the county for the past year were lined with onlookers with cameras and memories. Two television stations appeared to film the progress.
They should have kept it, said Dennis Fischer of Mitchell, who sat in his truck with his mom, Bonnie, to watch Dore and Associates Contracting, Inc., of Bay City, Wis., begin the demolition.
A digger began tearing away at the southwest and west side of the structure before moving to the south side.
Its a straight building, Fischer added, watching the progress. They should have fixed it.
Over 150 years of bricks, wood, insulation and lots of light brown dust mushroomed from the building as the machinery continued to claw at the building. Parts of old vaults could be seen laying nearby; some bricks were being salvaged and placed on pallets. The building was among the oldest courthouses in Iowa and on the National Register of Historic Places.
Demolition is expected to take two days, according to one unidentified worker. The front of the building and cupola being the last to be brought down, he said.
Im like one of those grumpy Muppets, telling everyone what theyre doing wrong, admitted another bystander, who declined to give his name. But yeah, its historic. Its sad. I think a lot of people hate to see it go. But its like someone died and the spirit is gone. This is just a site now. Its no longer a courthouse.
Here is how I feel: Whether you keep the old one or build a new one, I am more worried about the money spent in the meantime. Many nearby agreed it would cost too much to preserve the structure.
The courthouse will be replaced with a new structure that is estimated to cost about $7.2 million. Approval by voters of a new building failed in a recent election, but the Board of Supervisors pledged to go ahead with construction anyway.
Qualicum Beach town council was expected to vote on a motion last night directing staff to proceed with the demolition of the Heritage Forest stable buildings.
Despite an eviction notice in May of last year, and then notification in early November that the building would be demolished, the caretaker is still living in the residence, Coun. Dave Willie said Monday. The motion in front of council last night to demolish the building included the words "when vacant."
"He's still in there," said Willie. "He's had his hearing and he has to be out by the 15th (of February). I think it's over."
Willie said the resident, who has been living at the town-owned facility rent-free for more than seven years, appealed the demolition ruling. The appeal was held with town staff, said Willie.
When council first brought a motion to demolish the facility in November, there was some discussion about saving the stables portion and razing only the residence. The town did an assessment on the facility but Willie said the consensus was it wasn't a good idea to leave any portion of the building still intact.
"To leave a shell (of a building) in the forest is just asking for trouble," Willie said Monday.
The motion in front of council last night also called for the town to refer to Heritage Forest Commission Council "to provide a recommendation describing what the Commission envisions for post-demolition restoration of the site, e.g. natural vegetation, etc."
(See Thursday's edition of The NEWS for a report on Monday's night's decision.)
The NEWS has received a number of e-mails from the same e-mail address from a man who says he is the resident/caretaker of the building. The NEWS has been unable to confirm the man, who says his name is Bert Nowak, is actually the resident but that name has arisen in this story in the past.
The NEWS received this e-mail Thursday (it is being published here in its entirety and unedited):
