Television news story describes Boreas' Heritage Consultation services to historic Edmonton project
The Buena Vista Block was disassembled, then reassembled as part of a larger development. Boreas provided heritage consultation services for this project, including:
- Authoring a Heritage Resource Impact Assessment, required by the City of Edmonton
- Identifying and cataloguing Character Defining Elements to be conserved
- Developing conservation strategies for those elements, including:
- Edmonton Brick
- Indiana Limestone
- Stone Balconies
- Ghost Signs
- Sign Block
- Cornices
The resulting product was faithfully rebuilt from salvaged materials that had been catalogued into a ‘jigsaw puzzle”, with stunning results.
