"This is a good example of what we call 'heritage rehabilitation'," he said.
But in Harrison's view, the result is simple.
"It's no longer a heritage building."
Ironically, the orphaned brick frontage sits next to one of the COHS award winners for this year.
The brick building which was the former RAUDZ Regional Table and property owner Bill Scutt were recognized.
"He has maintained that in all its beauty and all its splendour," said Harrison.
Among the other award winners were the Bennett family for the preservation of the Bennett Mansion.
Former Kelowna City councillor, the late Ben Lee was given a posthumous award for his work on Ben Lee Park in Rutland.
Other winners included Astrid Kneipp for her home a 792 Lawrence Avenue and Ian & Susan Crichton for The Reekie House at 429 Park Avenue.
In the special projects category, the Kelowna Canadian Italian Club & Gord Hotchkiss were recognized for their work on a video entitled 'The Casorsos: La Prima Famiglia' and Susan Campbell accepted the award as project chair for the Central Okanagan Cemetery Recording Project.
Distinguished service awards went to Elders Pamela and Wilfred (Grouse) Barnes.
