| | | Posted by meggaman The Janion Must Be Preserved to protect the true reason why it was constructed at that peticular location ,, let us ask ourselves about the true reason why it has been preserved all these years ,, let us wonder why all the homeless hang around its welcoming front ,, If it is torn down , will we be ripping out the very soul that this garden city was based on ?

| | | Posted by lupurus On that note, does anyone know exactly what the "rock bay remediation project" entails, and what it means for our old buildings?
| If you go by what they say on the interweb, sounds like they will leave the building. ROCK BAY Victoria’s Power House Rock Bay was the site of a manufactured coal gas plant, constructed in 1860, making it the power house for the growth of Victoria as a city. The site became contaminated as a result of its gas works operations. The overall site is about 3.23 hectares, including the bay, and contains three heritage buildings that the remediation work has been designed to retain. | That was taken from this web site. http://www.tc.gc.c...ay_newsletter2.htm John Lyshitski

| | | Posted by rzabomb Wow, its a good thing I had to wait 7 days to make a post, because it just just about that long to read this thread. I am relatively new to Victoria and don't have much to add, I have seen the tunnels in the basement of the Museum, headed across to parliament, they look the same as the basement hallway does, not too exciting. also i am 99% sure there are no tunnels in or out of the Union Club, the creepy little staircase on the side just leads to a dirty furnace room that doesnt seem to have anything 'bricked over'. Cheers
| Alright. I'll bite: how are you 99% sure?

I have been in pretty much every room in the club, not that anything above level one matters much. The basement is probably not even 7 feet high, and as stated didnt have any covered archways or trap doors or anything. But there is the strong chance that im blind, hence 99%.
Unless you know something that I dont......
| Indeed. Eye witnesses reported finding a long, bricked, covered passageway, discovered during a road-work binge a few decades ago from the Union Club to the The Strathcona Hotel.
