A pair of dilapidated heritage buildings, including what is believed to be Kelowna’s first “house of ill repute,” could be getting a new life – as retail space.

Worman Resources Inc. showed off its plans for the revitalization of the “Surtees Property” Monday, plans that include restoring and physically rearranging the two heritage buildings on the site.
