There has been a lot of discussion of late about 18-22 King St E in Hamilton. It was going to be torn down, then it wasn't, then fences went up and machinery moved in and then once again it was stalled. A lot of discussion then turned to the facade facing Gore Park and how much (or little) could be saved to satisfy the heritage question. I will leave those discussions for others, but will only say that the back of the building is my favourite part. Above, is a painting that I did a few years ago. For some reason it was always the architectural features of the back that caught my eye and captured my imagination. A slightly different, and more shocking view is scene below.
