Wednesday on TR: Dorchester’s Bill Steele talks heritage buildings and Sackville’s Wood Block
On today’s Tantramar Report:
We feature a conversation with Dorchester’s Bill Steele.
A transplant from Toronto and heritage building enthusiast, Steele bought the Dorchester Jail in 2017 and now operates it as an AirBnB. Last March, Steele took a tour of the Wood Block building on Bridge Street in Sackville, home to local restaurants, apartments, and the old Imperial Theatre. As we wait on news of a possible sale of the Wood Block, we check in with Steele to hear about his experience of the building and his thoughts on heritage properties in the Tantramar region.
