Tyler Stewart plans to refurbish the 7Up advertisement painted on the outside of 525 20th Street West, the notorious apartment building he's redeveloping into affordable housing.
For Stewart, 36, repainting the ad will link the Riversdale building to a vibrant past that has more in common with the neighbourhood's revitalization than the apartment's violent reputation.
"This building's got stupid amounts of character," Stewart said in an interview, referring to the bricks and mortar of the apartment as Stewart recently bought the nearly 100-year-old building and plans to renovate it into 12 units of one-and two-bedroom affordable rental suites, complete with kitchens and bathrooms. He wants to restore and preserve some of the building's historical features, including the now boarded-up warehouse windows and Tyndall stone.
