The Lansdowne Park Partnership Plan, submitted to the City on September 2, 2009, suggested that this masonry building be moved to accommodate the development of retail buildings at Lansdowne. The Lansdowne Strategic Design Review and Advisory Panel, headed by George Dark, is currently reviewing this strategy.
