* Sandstone City: A series looking at the people, architecture and culture of Calgary's sandstone glory days
Sandstone statesman Calgary's first municipal heritage resource
Old City Hall has a new lease on life thanks to budgetary concessions that will preserve a cornerstone of Calgary's history.
During budget deliberations in late November, city council designated $35 million to a fund to restore heritage buildings such as the 103-year-old sandstone structure on the corner of First Street and Seventh Avenue S.E.
The new funding comes just months after Old City Hall made the news when pieces started falling from the exterior. The newfound funding will address the crumbling sandstone and weakening of the stone due to June 2013 flooding.
