I only really started paying attention to Halifax's old architecture long after it was gone, unfortunately.

I have only a vague memory of being in it one time when I was a tyke. From what I understand the interior was far more impressive than the outside, although that was certainly respectable too. I think the regret at its loss is more over what replaced it, which has been a problematic building for a number of reasons:
- mediocre exterior
- poor interaction with the street
- wind effects
- mismatched cladding on the upper floors
- poor interior air quality (at least when I worked there)
