Charlottetown building set for demolition designated a heritage property

City council decided to make that heritage designation permanent on Tuesday night

The City of Charlottetown has designated a new heritage property at 10 Prince Street.

Last year the owner of the building put in an application to the city to demolish the building and put a new one up. Because of its location — inside the historic core of the city, known as the 500-lot area — the city responded to the application by assigning temporary heritage status to the building last October.

City council decided to make that heritage designation permanent on Tuesday night, voting 7-2 in favour of a recommendation from city staff. That was following a closed session to discuss the topic. Councillors Bob Doiron and Terry Bernard voted against the resolution. Coucillor Mitch Tweel was not in attendance
