Sale of Oliver Building to Local Company Approved by Council
LETHBRIDGE – After sitting vacant in Lethbridge’s Downtown for a number of years, the Oliver Building has finally been sold to the highest bidder by the City.
Council approved the $9,500 sale to Hegnberg Ltd. on Monday afternoon.
William Oliver, who was a Lethbridge alderman and four-time mayor, built it along 5 Street South nearly 110-years ago, with largely locally-made bricks and unique architectural features.
Following a public hearing on May 16, 2016, council agreed to change its zoning to Direct Control (DC).
