About This File
The Dennis Building has a long history in Downtown Halifax (long by North American standards anyway). It was built in 1863 to house a dry goods firm, T.E. Kenny. T.E. Kenny eventually relocated and William Dennis, owner of the Halifax Herald, purchased the building in 1900. The Halifax Herald had just gotten comfortable, however, when the building was almost completely destroyed by fire in 1912. Dennis had deep pockets and he had the original granite facade reinforced and the interior gutted so that three additional floors could be added on top, giving the Dennis Building its name and current look. The Herald eventually relocated to Argyle Street, but the Dennis Building lived on as a provincial government office building. The Dennis Building's future is uncertain. It leaks and has air and mould issues. Its immediate neighbours were senselessly destroyed and turned into parking lots for a development that never happened leaving it orphaned and alone. In 2008, the Province acquired the empty adjacent lands. Since the Province now owns nearly the entire block, the Dennis Building is likely to eventually be part of a major redevelopment. Whether it survives intact, the facade is retained or is levelled completely is an open question.
The Dennis Building comes as a 2x2 growable (both left and right corners) and a plopable that provide 373 Co$$ jobs. The lot textures and setback are designed to fit my other 2 deep lots and JBSimio's set. Three dependencies, BSC Essentials (mandatory), BSC_TexturePack_Cycledogg_V 01b.dat (mandatory) and BSC MEGA Props - SG Vol 01.dat (boxes in the alley).
