The city's heritage committee has endorsed a council motion to suspend the partial demolition of an eight-decade-old mansion near St. Joseph's Hospital and declare the house a heritage property.
The vote comes after a tense council meeting at Hamilton City Hall that saw security remove Victor Veri, the owner of the property, after he demanded the right to speak to councillors.
Under provincial law, the heritage committee decision effectively voids Veri's demolition permit, which authorized him to tear down the building's garage and west-facing porch.

Veri made a short presentation at the Thursday morning committee meeting, which had been called solely for the purpose of discussing the council motion, introduced on Wednesday by Ward 2 Coun. Jason Farr.
"Whatever you're doing, you're not doing it correctly," said Veri, is his less-than-minute-long speech.
The Durand Neighbourhood Association had supplied the committee with letters from around 25 community residents demanding that the demolition be stopped.
"We're ectastic," said DNA president Janice Brown. "Taking away our cultural landscape, I think, it's criminal."
