That corrugated cladding looks better than I'd imagined!

Terrific restoration overall but I must be one of the few people that miss the iron fire escapes.

Is that what the brick really looks like now? Ghastly.

Ghastly is an exaggeration BUT I too am surprised it has not been washed - maybe to come??

I would more surprised if an attempt to soda blast the building was not made. It makes sense that they would wait until the building was finished to do that though given that it will still get dirty.

I had presumed it was usually one of the last steps in the process.

Wait. Has Massey Hall been re-christened the Allied Music Centre? Is nothing sacred?

Does that mean they've got the cash now to open up the bricked-up windows, restore the pediment properly and give the brick a good cleaning?

No, not Massey Hall per se - the new complex. Anyways, I am not hung up over it - hardly anyone in non-official setting will ever call this "Allied Music Centre".

Phew. Glad it's not the whole complex that's been re-named.

It is the whole complex that's been renamed. Massey Hall is constituent part of that complex.
