Oliver Block To Be Designated As Municipal Historic Resource - September 27, 2022 - Micah Quinn

If you take a drive down 5th St in Downtown Lethbridge you might notice the Oliver Block building. It was constructed in 1900 and was in disrepair just a few years ago as it was set to be torn down, paving the way for a parking lot. In 2017, the building was bought and underwent a massive rebuild. The owner of the Oliver Block, Hunter Heggie, says he wants city council to designate the building as a Municipal Historic Resource. Council voted unanimously 8-0 with the bylaw passing second and third reading.

There will be no financial cost to the city to designate Oliver Block as a historic site. Since 2007, City Council has designated 28 historic places within Lethbridge as Municipal Historic Resources.
