Sprucedale Hotel is for sale

Yes indeed  A True Once in a Lifetime Opportunity. Typical real-estate hype . Of course it is a Once in a Lifetime, after 6 months of ownership  you would likely hang yourself . Not meant to offend anyone .

Realtors want you to skip right over the 2nd and 3rd floor are zoned owner residential only, and mention using it as an airbnb.  No fire dept or municipality is going to let that be used for commercial lodging without major fire suppression/sprinklers, fire escapes as well as full rezoning with neighbours having their say as well.  There is a reason these old fire trap hotels are no longer in use in most towns.

Sounds about perfect than for a new large Canadian family or families coming here and starting a business in a town North of the city!

Sad, would love to have been able to stop in for a grilled cheese with bacon and a beer.

So the top 2 floors are gutted, therefore removing all the heritage from the old building.  What a waste.  I heard the 2nd last owner messed up the electrical and the foundation is shot.  Too bad someone can't do something with it.  So many possibilities.

Sprucedale has so much potential . I honestly think most do notwant to invest that much in order to work that hard.
