Yes, I agree that the treatment of the Dennis building is shameful, considering that it was very close to being razed completely, and now the requirements for maintaining its heritage elements seem to be almost nothing more than keeping part of its facade.

Well, considering that it burned to the ground 100 years ago and was rebuilt, just keeping the facade at that time, perhaps it is just history repeating itself and thus historically accurate, not shameful.
