The building was bought by McDonald's in 2000 and the property management company they employed had intended to develop it as two retail outlets and eight upstairs apartments. The shop tenants first read about the proposal in the August 1, 2001 'Leader', and were sent letters by Landplan Pacific on August 10; there was no information on changes to Queen's Chambers. More information would follow.
Well-known photographer Revelle Jackson's studio was on the top floor, probably at this end; and many of his pictures, including those of the procession celebrating city status, were taken while he was standing on the veranda.
