The City of Lethbridge is making the former Red Cross office building in London Road Neighbourhood available to the marketplace for sale. The asking price $360,000, and the City is accepting proposals which must be received by the City before 4:00 p.m. on June 9, 2011.
A Building Condition Assessment has been completed and is available on the City of Lethbridge website. The property is located in the London Road Neighbourhood and is also subject to the requirements of the London Road Neighbourhood Area Redevelopment Plan, which is also available on the City of Lethbridge website.
The City intends to review all proposals within a four‐week period and reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. If no bids are received within the proposal timeframe, the City will continue to accept proposals until a suitable proposal is received.
Sharon Hudemka, president of LRNA, recently took photos of the interior and exterior of the building.

The Lethbridge Herald recently ran an article on the neighbourhood:
London Road Neighbourhood Association is in the spotlight after being named one of 12 Best Old House Neighbourhoods in Canada — a project of This Old House Magazine.
Sharon Hudemka, London Road’s president, said the recognition validates what residents already know and love about their neighbourhood, but just what impact the notoriety will have on the city remains to be seen.
“I don’t know how they ever found us — how out of the millions of places out there they figured out Lethbridge, Alberta existed,” Hudemka said.

CTV recently did a news story on the London Road Neighbourhood.
