Correction:
In the November 8 edition of The Royal Gazette we ran a story on the demolition of Arcadia House, a Grade One-listed historic building in St. George's.
The article stated: 'A report by engineering firm Brunel Ltd. described Arcadia House as "an eyesore". It concluded: "Based upon current market rates for traditional residential Bermuda construction ie: $250/sq ft, the cost to completely demolish and reconstruct the existing building would be less costly. Brunel Ltd. believes that demolishing the existing building and reconstructing a new building would be more economical."
It was in fact the Planning Department's Development Applications Board which described Arcadia House as an "eyesore". The DAB report states: "The existing state of the building is an eyesore."
We apologise for any confusion.
