I think the following document was probably posted previously but it is interesting in that it gives a fairly detailed description of the plans for the Macara Barnstead Building -
http://www.halifax.ca/boardscom/hac/...ttachments.pdf. The date on the drawings is from July 2011. In reality, it is more of a demolition than a restoration.
What you see in Jonovision's photo is about all of the original that will remain. The facade will be restored with new materials to match the original. Although it is sad to see the original material lost, once wood rots out there isn't much that can be done to restore it.
