MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Bill Mayberry outside his Exchange District gallery is questioning how the city has allowed a heritage building to rot for decades. Mayberry is responding to a story we ran in Monday’s paper about the St. Charles Hotel, and how the owner says he’s finally going to redevelop it for affordable housing. “I have been driving past this poorly neglected eyesore for almost 20 years. It’s not hard to spot, it’s the grand old building all covered in graffiti,” Mayberry said. “Shame on our city for allowing property owners to neglect historic buildings in this manner.” 221206 - Tuesday, December 06, 2022.
