Centre Street houses torn down

A demolition crew made quick work of tearing down a historic house at 50 Centre St. in Aylmer on Monday, Jan. 26. A more modern house north of it was also demolished. The property belongs to Cherry Street, which plans to relace the home with nonprofit housing. Some neighbours objected to the demolition, citing the heritage value of the  50 Centre St. house, but a demolition permit had already been issued by the Town of Aylmer. (AE/Rob Perry)
