Notice of Intention : Designate Property Under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act

Take Notice that the Council of the City of Thorold intends to pass a By-law at a future Council meeting, under Section 29(1) of the Ontario Heritage Act for the property described as follows:

• 82 Welland Street North, City of Thorold (PLAN 1890 PT BLK G LOT 10; LOT 11 NP894)

It has been determined that the property has significant heritage value within all three categories prescribed by O.Reg. 9/06, demonstrating architectural, associative and contextual value as it relates to the 1875-76 Gothic-Revival / Italianate home and the 200-year old white oak (Quercus alba) tree located on the property.

The property has architectural value in the clear link to late Gothic-Revival architectural style and the emerging (at the time) Italianate style that was popularized throughout much of small-town southern Ontario.  The property has historical value in the important links to Niagara’s earliest European settler families, links to other notable early entrepreneurial families, as well as links to one of the community’s last print newspapers.  The property demonstrates contextual value both in terms of its setting on a double lot in what became St. Andrew’s Ward, as well as preservation of pre-European vegetation on the property (i.e. a 200-year old white oak tree).

A statement of notice of objection to the designation may be served on the Clerk via email nicholas.debono@thorold.ca or using the address below within thirty (30) days after the date of this publication of the Notice of Intention to Designate, that being August 13, 2024.
