I'm not sure what the reasoning would be for locating it here.
Perhaps it has to do with a cultural statement something to the effect of "we belong in the same spaces you do, and we exist outside the boundaries of reserves." I can understand the urge to have the house of assembly in the same realm as buildings like the courthouse, city hall, the library, etc.
Maybe I don't really get what the house of assembly does... I imagine it's some sort of governance/bureaucracy entity. Anyone know?
I don't think an inward-facing institutional building is the best thing for Spring Garden Rd. here.
