As work on the new Johnson Street Bridge moves ahead other changes are being made to some of the derelict buildings and vacant lots in that area. The above incorporation of an old building's front into a new building is on lower Pandora Street adjacent to Swan's Hotel. Below you can see what it looked like before the above restoration. It looks like they are planning to mimic the old building's front (on the right, above) with a similar facing on the left.
Fisgard Street also has a new building. When it is complete I will post a photo. The
Janion Hotel is also undergoing complete refurbishment so by next spring Chinatown should be looking quite different with three old eyesores transformed into new residences and business places.

Nice colors. The floors of the building behind are not the same as the old facade on the right. Interesting puzzle for the builders.
I like that they are using the old facade for the new building. So many changes in the past few years!
Interesting colours, and a complimentary blend of the old and the new it seems.
I look forward to the final product!
Nice colors, will be interested in seeing them finished.
