The old St Mary’s building seen from upstairs in a John St. building. According to building owner Jasen Von Guinness, the pace of renovation work on the building is better than expected. “We have a couple of guys working there every day,” he said. He added that they are not responsible to any bank, so they can go at their own pace, do things right and finish when they finish. He and his wife, he said, have been staying there every weekend, working and relaxing. (Bea Peterson photo)
