Grant Callaghan. What a load of cobblers. Why do a partial job. The building needed demolishing, not just part of it

Melissa Mondo
Grant Callaghan oh well. Not like it was some amazing architectural masterpiece. Just a building knocked up quickly to replace the building before it.

Robert Dan Cunningham
Those were the days.....She was the only woman we had to publicly deal with.......those were the days...

They should have saved that beautiful building and the fact the the Queen came and stayed there!!
And what they have put in its place leaves alot to be desired..

Brian McIntyre
She waved to me

Les Holmes Germanicus
I remember that day like it was yesterday on my father's shoulders in my little herringbone coat and blond hair watching the Queen and Duke come out onto the balcony.

Suzie Sutton
What a very grand building

Kenneth John Dalzell

Mor T Leiigh it was an eyesore that had been neglected and nobody wanted or had the money to restore. It was not really architecturally significant.
