KITCHENER Demolition continued Friday at the site of the Preston Springs Hotel in Cambridge. Crews carried out the work as laid out in an emergency order, despite push back from heritage advocates and some city councillors. By mid-afternoon on New Year’s Day only about one-third of the structure remained standing. On Dec. 24, the city’s Chief Building Officer issued an emergency demolition order for the former hotel. Dennis Purcell said the aging structure needed to be torn down as “a matter of public safety.” “It’s a building that’s in an advanced state of deterioration,” he said.
