Justin Madden reckons the Myer redevelopment “marrie[s] the significant heritage features of the site with contemporary urban architecture” — which, translated into reality, means we’re bulldozing the old building. Lonsdale House is an important art deco landmark, and its wonderful flagpole features on the cover of a new book on Melbourne’s deco buildings — yet the city council decided it has no heritage value worth protecting. What a disgrace.
