  Sadly demolished in 1965 to make way for the ESB head office maps.app.goo.gl/hoZiXDFxqcAcVdMT7

  The car is a late-model Ford Prefect.

• Suck Diesel said:

  O Mac Just another act of civic vandalism, for which no one was ever charged. I think the ESB have since moved out.

• Suck Diesel said:

The Pentagon Building, 1 Buckingham St., prior to demolition

from Halifax Municipal Archives

• Peggy Walt said:

  We had a building like this in Halifax?! What a crying shame it was allowed to have been torn down! Let's stop willy nilly destroying our amazing built heritage in this city!

• R. D. Barry said:

  They tore this down for Scotia Square? They had all the elements in that neighbourhood for urban renewal. Renewal.. not demolition.

• Halifax Municipal Archives said:

  Actually, R. D. Barry, Buckingham St. was parallel to Duke St. but one block north. The Pentagon building was at the bottom of the street -- where Buckingham met Upper Water -- so not where Scotia Square is. The building burned in a fire in the early 60s and then sat empty for a time. It may have been demolished because of the damage and/or because of the redevelopment plan for the downtown.

• Halifax Municipal Archives said:

  We have photographs of the aftermath of the fire in that building in our collection, if you're interested. They can be found here.
