AN old school destined for demolition and described as having no historical value, once had an interim conservation order placed on the building, according to a local woman.
Long-time Ss Peter and Paul's Cathedral parishioner and former church finance committee member, Pat Bourke, well remembers the discussions about 91 Bourke St, a 1938 technical school, earlier this decade.
At that time, in 2000, parish priest Fr Laurie Blake wanted to demolish the structure to make way for a retirement village and generate income for Ss Peter and Paul's Cathedral's restoration.
"Goulburn City Council advised the parish it could not be demolished because it had a special type of steel framed windows in it. They put an interim conservation order on the building," Mrs Bourke said.
