Loyalist Township Staff Report Babcock Mill Security Heritage Committee Meeting Report Number: SR- 983

Meeting: Heritage Committee - 16 Apr 2019 Type: Heritage Committee Department: Heritage Committee Report Date: April 11, 2019 Author: Nicole Goodbrand Attachments: No Number of Attachments: 0

Executive Summary: The Babcock Mill is experiencing ongoing vandalism. Anne Lindsay will be in as a delegate for the April 16, 2019 Heritage Committee meeting to discuss potential security measures being proposed by the township.

Recommendation: That the report from the Heritage Assistant, April 11, 2019 re: Babcock Mill Security, be received for information.

Background: Babcock Mill is experiencing ongoing vandalism which is putting the building and the property at risk, almost daily. The Township is proposing the installation of security cameras in an effort to combat the vandalism. The cameras would be installed on the north, east, and south sides of the main building, near or adjacent to the existing lighting. The cameras would capture a 180 degree view of the area, and would aid in protecting the heritage property from any damage caused by vandalism.

There are also numerous motorized vehicles that are being driven over the foot bridge at Babcock Mill park, which is causing extensive damage to the bridge itself and also to the park property on the east side of the building. The Township is proposing the installation of pedestrian gates on the west side of the pedestrian bridge and also on the north east side of the park access off of Factory Street.

The Township is also seeking the Heritage Committee’s advice on how to effectively secure the small “out-building” to the east side of the Mill. This out-building is currently boarded up to prevent unauthorized access, however the metal cladding has become an eyesore and the Township would like to investigate alternative options to securing this part of the property.

Loyalist Township Staff Report 2018 Heritage Tax Rebate Program Heritage Committee Meeting Report Number: SR- 956

Meeting: Heritage Committee - 16 Apr 2019 Type: Heritage Committee Department: Heritage Committee Report Date: April 10, 2019 Author: Nicole Goodbrand Attachments: Yes Number of Attachments: 3

Executive Summary: Loyalist Township established the Heritage Tax Refund Program in May 2012, with the passing of By-Law 2012-054. It was further defined through By-Law 2017-009.

The intent of the Heritage Tax Relief Program is to provide assistance to property owners who are stewards in maintaining their heritage properties and to help offset the extra costs associated with scarce materials and skills required to preserve the properties. The deadline to apply for the 2018 Heritage Tax Relief Program was Thursday, February 28, 2019.

Staff received eight applications for the 2018 Heritage Tax Relief Program.The applications include: • 147 Church Street, Bath • 352 Academy Street, Bath • 429 Main Street, Bath • 428 main Street, Bath • 438 Main Street, Bath • 448 Main Street, Bath • 3850 South Shore Road, Stella • 395 Main Street, Bath

Four of the eight properties have not received the Heritage Tax Relief Grant in prior years, while the remaining four have each received the grant at least once since its inception in 2012. The budget for the 2018 Heritage Tax Relief Program is $3,000.00. This year in order to meet the minimum threshold set out in the Municipal Act, 2001 of 10% tax rebate for all of the applications, the committee would require $3,230.50.

Recommendation:

2018 Heritage Tax Rebate Program Page 37 of 117 AGENDA ITEM #7.2.

That the report from the Heritage Assistant,April 10, 2019, re: Heritage Tax Rebate Program, be received and the following be adopted: 1. That the eight Heritage Tax Rebate Program applications be accepted 2. That the Heritage Tax Rebate Program be reevaluated for selection and evaluation criteria processes 3. Whereas, the Heritage Assistant position remained vacant for 4 weeks and budget may be left available at the end of the year, and the remaining amount required for the statutory 10% tax rebate is small, that the remaining portion of tax rebate needed be taken from the Salaries and Wages budget line 4. that the 10% tax relief of the eight accepted applications in accordance to by-law 2017-009 be recommended to Council

Background: The Loyalist Township Heritage Tax Refund Program was established in 2012. Under Section 365.2 of the Municipal Act, 2001, municipalities must provide property tax relief between 10 to 40 per cent through their Heritage Tax Relief programs. The program is subject to Council approval, provincial regulations and available funding.

Heritage Conservation Agreements According to the Municipal Act, 2001a property must contain a building, structure or a portion of a building or structure that is: • designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act or part of a heritage conservation district designated under Part V of the Act; and • subject to a heritage conservation agreement for the property

There are three options for the heritage conservation agreement according to the The Municipal Act, 2001: 1. an easement agreement between the property owner and the local municipality under section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act; or 2. an easement agreement (often referred to as a “conservation easement”) between the property owner and the Ontario Heritage Foundation under section 22 of the Ontario Heritage Act; or 3. an agreement between the property owner and the local municipality respecting the preservation and maintenance of the property.

The Heritage Conservation Agreement is especially important for those with only municipal designation because, under section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, municipal designation alone does not require owners to maintain the property.The agreement ensures that there is accountability for owners in regard to ensuring proper maintenance with expectations being illustrated through the by-law.

Applications for 2019 This year, the number of applications (8) was unusually high. Previous years had between one and three applications, and there was concern (as illustrated in Report

Loyalist Township 2018 Heritage Tax Rebate Program Page 38 of 117 Page 2 of 64 AGENDA ITEM #7.2.

SR-887) that an insufficient number of homes were applying. This year in order to meet the minimum threshold of 10% tax rebate set out by the Municipal Act, 2001, the committee would require $3,230.50, which is more than the budget for this program. A fair solution will need to be found to select the applications which will be recommended to council.

Analysis: There are two major issue which need analysis: 1. The Applicant Evaluation Criteria for the program in general 2. How this year's applications will be evaluated and selected for recommendation to Council Applicant Evaluation Criteria Current By-Law Currently the program's application requires no supporting material nor does the program's description illustrate a grading system or evaluation criteria. The by-law currently could be interpreted in multiple ways based on certain sections of the by-law: Section Statement Possible Interpretation "eligible heritage property" means a property or portion of a property that is: 1) located in Loyalist Township; and 2) designated under Part IV or Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act; and Currently, besides a Heritage Preservation and 3) subject to either an Maintenance Agreement , Easement Agreement with Proof of Insurance, with no Loyalist Township under tax arrears attributable to Section 37 of the Ontario 1.6 the property there are not Heritage Act, or an additional eligibility Easement Agreement with requirements thus making the all applicants for the 2018 Ontario Heritage tax year (this year's Foundation under Section program) eligible 22 of the Ontario Heritage Act, or an agreement with Loyalist Township respecting the Preservation and Maintenance of a built heritage resource on the property "The amount of a heritage may suggest that the 1.7 tax refund, unless standard is 40% tax

Loyalist Township 2018 Heritage Tax Rebate Program Page 39 of 117 Page 3 of 64 AGENDA ITEM #7.2.

otherwise specified, shall rebate, while the caveat be 40% of the taxes for does allow interpretation municipal, county and school purposes levied on the property." may suggest that "available funds are applications are accepted insufficient to award the in order of submission or 2.10 next otherwise eligible on an evaluation criteria applicant" which has not been outlined.

Without clear criteria or processes around applications that cumulatively exceed the budget it is difficult to include or exclude applicants in order to make it come in within the budget. While this may have a simple remedy this year, the program and coinciding by-law needs to clearly illustrate a process which is equitable, easy to understand, and promotes the preservation of heritage properties in the strongest way.

This Year's Applications While this year's number of applicants is unusual, should the trend continue, the current parameters of the by-law do not appropriately lay out how to deal with larger influxes of applications. Due to the unexpected vacancy of the Heritage Assistant position for 4 weeks, there will be a small amount of that budget unused. The remaining portion of tax rebate needed may be able to be moved from the Salaries and Wages budget line. While this will fill the gap financially this year, it is not sustainable.

Financial Considerations: This year's budget for the Heritage Tax Relief Program is $3,000.00. The total tax relief amount at the required minimum of 10% is $3,230.50, thus making it the approval of all of the applications not possible. The vacancy of Heritage Assistant position could provide a small pool of relief funds that would not greatly impact future programming and initiatives for the remainder of the year.

Options: Applicant Evaluation Criteria Option 1 The Province of Ontario's Heritage Property Tax Relief program guide suggests eligibility criteria that sets a limit to the number of years a property can receive funds from the relief program. The program could be amended to limit the years a property is eligible within set time frames.

Option 2 That the program be amended to require the submission of a maintenance and conservation plan with applications that could be used to evaluate and rank the

Loyalist Township 2018 Heritage Tax Rebate Program Page 40 of 117 Page 4 of 64 AGENDA ITEM #7.2.

application. This could include photographic evidence, signed statements attesting to the condition of the property, a conservation and maintenance plan or budget or provision of receipts. This would require more staff time to monitor and ensure.

Option 3 That the Program be amended to establish a threshold of $200 of tax relief per designated heritage property, which would be administered by providing a credit against the owners outstanding property tax from the current year. The administration of the Program would be similar to the Loyalist Township Seniors Citizens Property Tax Credit and considerably easier to administer for finance staff. Heritage property owners would have to apply for the Heritage Tax Rebate annually, would be required to sign an agreement to maintain the heritage features of the property and could not have any outstanding arrears with the Township.

Option 4 That the program be amended to establish an evaluation criteria and ranking system through differing percentage requirements for different classes of heritage properties with a priority system established with them.

Option 5 Discontinuing the Tax Relief Program for 2019 tax year. 2018 would be the last year for which funds were made available. 2019 Funding would be redirected to the Heritage Property Grant Program, which provides heritage property owners with a grant to complete conservation work.

This Year's Applications Option 1 Evaluate and rank current applications on an agreed upon set of evaluation criteria Evaluating and ranking current applications and then selecting those to accept for the grant program would allow the program to stay within its budget. However, without clear guidelines in the by-law or in the application or promotions it could be challenged and appealed to Council.

Option 2 Order applications based on order of date of application While previous applicants can not be given priority, the order of application could be used as a way of ordering the applications. However, the deadline was specified and a firm-come-first-serve was not outline, thus potentially making the process unfair.

Option 3 Accept all applications and find funds To eliminate the potential for unfair decision making, all currently eligible applications could be accepted and the funds needed in addition to the current budget line could be sourced elsewhere within the broader heritage budget.

Ernestown Township that was originally granted to John Davy (1740 - 1805). The grant totalled 152 acres and was patented by Crown Deed on 5 November 1803. A town plan divided the property into lots in 1804. Davy served in the 1st Battalion of the King's Royal Regiment of New York.1 Davy settled on the land with his wife and daughter by October 1784, and then returned to New York for cattle and supplies.2 John Davy's Will stipulated his property and possessions pass to his wife, Sophia, so long as she remained a widow.3 After her death or marriage, his property would be divided between his sons Peter and John. Peter Davy inherited the east half of the south three-quarters of Lot 10 in the First Concession and John Davy inherited the west half of the south three-quarters of Lot 10 in the First Concession, which also included a grist mill constructed by Jeptha Hawley before 1792 near the waterfront.a

This property was severed from the Davy Estatein 1812 when it was purchased by William Mackee. The property sold to Darius Dunham in 1818, who sold it to Henry Lasher in 1825. Henry Lasher was Notary Public in the Village of Bath in 1825.5 The 1825 deed indicates the presence of a store, wharf and dwelling on the property.o This may or may not be the present house.

The property was willed to John Lasher upon the death of his father in 1843.7 John Lasher served on the Midland District Council in 1842-1843.8 The 1851-1852 Census Refurns lists John Lasher as a merchant living with his wife in a one store frame house also used as a "merchant shop and store for retailing goods."e The Walling Map (1859) attributes this property to John Lasher. The 1861 Census lists John Lasher as a merchant living with his wife, Henrietta, in a one-and-a- half storey frame house with their children Emily, Helen, Hannah, Clara and George.

Description of Property The Henry Lasher House is a one-and-a-half storey wood frame structure located at the bottom of Church Street in the Village of Bath.

The Henry Lasher House was designated under Part lV of the Ontario Heritage Act for reasons of historical or architectural value by Bylaw 414-78.

Statement of Cultural Heritaqe Value or lnterest The Henry Lasher House is of cultural heritage value or interest because of its inclusion in the History and Architecture, Village of Bath, Ontario (1976), also known as the Red Book. This was an important publication acting as the first informal recognition of properties of historic or architectural interest in the Village of Bath. As a seminal publication, the Red Book has been accepted by the community as the authority on heritage issues in the Village of Bath, reprinted and updated several times.

The Henry Lasher House is of physical or design value because it displays a high degree of

craftsmanship in its finishes. The one-and-a-half wood frame structure clad in horizontal clapboard terminating in endboards. lt is oriented towards Lake Ontario, with three-bays located on the main fagade with an enclosed verandah that runs the length of the structure. This orientation was well suited to the original owner/builder, Henry Lasher, who was a prominent merchant in the Village of Bath. The location of the house, as well as its orientations, would allow Lasher to observe the loading and unloading of shipments on his wharf from the house. Decoration and architectural details of the house are reflective of a successful businessman. Details include a moulded stringcourse of decorative scalloped woodwork, raking trim with boxed cornice and frieze, eave returns, trim and windows surrounds, single leaf door with mouldings, sidelights, and transom, as well as a pair of French doors on the east fagade.

The Henry Lasher House is of historical or associative value because its associations with Henry Lasher (d.1843), who was notary public for the Village of Bath and served on the Midland District Municipal Council (1842-1843). Henry Lasher was also a successful businessman who helped to maintain the Village of Bath as an important centre for trade, involved in the forwarding and transhipment business. At the time of his death in 1843, Henry Lasher's business and property were valued at 3,000 pounds. His personal wealth afforded the education and maintenance of his three daughters, as well as wife, Hannah (1792-1871), in her widowhood. His three sons, John Lasher (b.1815), Samuel Lasher, and Marshall Bidwell Lasher (1836-1909), as well as his son-in-law Thomas Briggs inherited his businesses in the Village of Bath, as well as a store operation on Store Street in Kingston, Ontario. John Lasher married Henrietta Davy (1830-1919), daughter of Peter Davy, in 1848 reinforcing the Lasher's business connections in the Village of Bath.

The Henry Lasher House is of historical or associative value because of its inclusion on the Bath Bicentennial Quilt (1984). Denise Henry Hehn, property owner, completed the Henry Lasher House panel. The panel depicts a view of the Henry Lasher House as seen from the waterfront, with the principle cross gable and secondary gable to the west. The Bath Bicentennial Quilt is currently stored at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, Ontario.

The Henry Lasher House is of historical or associative value because of the discovery of a cave on the property in 1889. John Lasher used the cave as an attraction for tourists. The cave was revealed after a small landslide, uncovering an octagonal shaped cave on the waterfront.

The Henry Lasher House is of contextual value because of its location at the foot of Church Street in the Village of Bath. As a successful merchant in the Village of Bath, Henry Lasher and his heirs built their wealth and reputation on the buying and selling of goods. Located directly on the waterfront, the site of the structure allowed the owner of the house to oversee the loading and unloading of shipment on his wharf.

Physical attributes that contribute to the cultural heritage value of Henry Lasher House include: o One-and-a-half storey structure clad in horizontal clapboard that terminates in endboards Orientation towards Lake Ontario Moulded stringcourse of decorative scalloped woodwork Raking tri, with boxed cornice and frieze Eave returns French doors on east fagade Verandah across south

Brief History This property forms part of Lot 10 in the First Concession of Ernestown Township that was originally granted to John Davy (1740 - 1805).

The original Bath Academy was built in 1811 with Barnabus Bidwell, a radical political reformer who espoused republican ideals, as school superintendent.s During the War of 1812 the school served as barracks. The schoolwould not reopen until 1818.6 By 1826, the Bath Academy reopened as the Bath Grammar School under the leadership of Reverend John Stoughton of St John's Anglican Church.T The original two- storey brick structure was replaced in 1871. The Bath Academy, as it stands today, was replaced following a fire in 1910.

His son, Marshall, became a leading member of the Legislative Assembly in 1825-1833. The school was merged into the common school system under the Public SchoolAct of 1850. The present structure, being the third on site, was built in 1910 and, since the early 1970s was used as a municipal office and library.

Brief History This property straddles the boundary between Lot 9 and Lot 10 on the break front of the First Concession of the former Ernestown Township.

This property forms part of the east half of Lot 9 in the First Concession of Ernestown Township. lt included 105 acres that were originally granted to Jacob Miller in 1784. Miller was a private in Jessup's Loyal Rangers. The land was patented by Crown Deed on 17 May 1802. By 1803, Miller had sold at least a portion of the land to Andrew Johnson, the son of Sergeant James Johnson, who was an innkeeper.l The property was sold by sheriff's sale in 1811.2 The property later came under the ownership of the Hawley family.s

This property forms part of Lot 10 in the First Concession of Ernestown Township that was originally granted to John Davy (1740 - 1805). The grant totalled 152 acres and was patented by Crown Deed on 5 November 1803. A town plan divided the property into lots in 1804. Davy served in the 1't Battalion of the King's Royal Regiment of New York.a Davy settled on the land with his wife and daughter by October 1784, and then returned to New York for cattle and supplies.s John Davy's Will stipulated his property and possessions pass to his wife, Sophia, so long as she remained a widow.6 After her death or marriage, his property would be divided between his sons Peter and John. Peter Davy inherited the east half of the south three-quarters of Lot 10 in the First Concession and John Davy inherited the west half of the south three-quarters of Lot 10 in the First Concession, which also included a grist mill constructed by Jeptha Hawley before 1792 near the waterfront.T Peter Davy purchased the lower twenty-five acres of the west half of Lot 10 from his brother, John Davy, in 1818.8The property later came under the ownership of Justice Bartles.

He constructed a Regency-style cottage for himself and his wife Mary McTavish Ross Kennedy (1820-1887), daughter of Governor McTavish of the Hudson's Bay Company. His two stepsons, Thomas Keith Ross (b. 1840) and John McTavish Ross (b. 1838) lived with the Kennedy's. Dr Kennedy's two sons, Reverend Alexander Howard Kennedy (1854-1918) of 179 Church Street and Dr Roderick William Kennedy (1858-1932) of 448 Main Street, lived in the Village of Bath. ln 1902, Dr Kennedy deeded the property a|429 Main Street to his son, Dr Roderick William Kennedy, who, in turn, gave his father a life-lease on the property. At this time, Dr Kennedy was listed on the 1902 Village Tax Records as living in Stella on Amherst lsland, likely with his son Reverend Alexander Kennedy who lived there. The property was leased to various tenants between 1902 and 1908 before it was sold to Robert Mott.e Dr Kennedy died of pneumonia on 15 March 191 1 in Kingston General Hospital and was buried in CataraquiCemetery.

Dr Kennedy was also owner of Layer Cake Hall between 1880 and 1892, which he accepted in lieu of payment for his treatment of Abraham Harris upon his death. Layer Cake Hall was deeded to the Synod of the Diocese of Ontario (Anglican Church) in 1892.

The Dr Roderick Kennedy House is a one-and-a-half storey wood frame Ontario Cottage in the Regency style. lt is located partially on Lot 9 and partially on Lot 10 of the First Concession of the break front of the former Ernestown Township on the south side of Main Street, just west of Rogers Lane.

This property forms part of the Village of Bath Heritage Conservation District.

This was an important publication acting as the first informal recognition of properties of historic or architectural interest in the Village of Bath. As a seminal publication, the Red Book has been accepted by the community as the authority on heritage issues in the Village of Bath, reprinted and updated severaltimes. The Dr Roderick Kennedy House was included in the Village of Bath Heritage Conservation District (1982) because of its historical or architectural value, demonstrated through its inclusion in the Red Book.

The Dr Roderick Kennedy House has physical or design value through its demonstration of the Regency style in the Village of Bath. With many Ontario Cottages in the Village of Bath, the Dr Roderick Kennedy House demonstrates characteristics of an applied Regency style. Heritage attributes that contribute to this style include the verandah with treillage detailing (now encased in storm windows), French doors that flank the main entry, bell cast verandah roof with wave- shaped scalloping detailing, plaster-cladding coursed to appear like ashlar cut stone, and twin single-stack red brick chimneys at either end of the gable roof. This is a late interpretation of the Regency style. While the Regency Style is typically dated to 181 1-1820 in Great Britain, colonial lag permits a more flexible time period. This is a vernacular interpretation of the Regency style, of much simpler origins than other expressions of the style.Drawing on stylistic influence in Great Britain at the time, Dr Roderick Kennedy brought these elements back to Canada. When he settled in the Village of Bath, Dr Roderick Kennedy sought inspiration for the architecture of his youth.

This property has historical/associative value through its connection to Dr Roderick Kennedy (1822-1911). Dr Kennedy is an important person in the history of the Village of Bath. He was the son of Alexander Kennedy (1781-1832) of St Margaret's Hope, South Ronaldsay, Scotland and Margaret Aggathas of Eithinyoowuc (Swampy Cree Tribe) (c.1785-1863, baptised 1829).10 He was the grandson of Elizabeth Bear and Philip Turnor (1751-1799), and the nephew of White Bear (1780-1844), Chief of the Cumberland House Tribe and later of Red River.l1 At the time of his birth, his father was Chief Factor of Cumberland District for the Hudson's Bay Company and lived at Norway House, Rupert's Land.12 Roderick was one of ten children; his eldest brother, John Frederick Kennedy (1805-1859) was the first person of Aboriginal descent to obtain a medical diploma from a European university.13 Dr John Frederick Kennedy was clerk and at Fort Vancouver.

Physicians and Surgeons at the University of Edinburgh in 1844. Following his education, he was appointed to Surgeon of the Hudson's Bay Company at Moose Factory (1 845-1850). He then moved to Bath, Ontariola where he practiced medicine for more than 50 years, where he became Professor of Anatomy at Kingston, a member of the Bath School Board and served as Village Reeve in 1880-1883 and 1885-1888.15

The Dr Roderick Kennedy House has historical or associative value because of its inclusion on the Bath Bicentennial Quilt (1984). Mary Williams completed the Dr Roderick Kennedy House panel. The panel depicts the house in scene surrounded by trees. The building is dated to circa 1865; historic research indicates the building was constructed in 1855. The Bath Bicentennial Quilt is currently stored at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, Ontario.

The Dr Roderick Kennedy House demonstrates contextual value from its role in defining and supporting the character of the Village of Bath through its massing, scale and setback. This property contributes to an understanding of the evolution of the Village of Bath to the present day and dates from the identified period of significance (1784 - 1864).

Previous Uses Commercial (store, hotel), residential, community (meeting place, school), small manufacturing ("Shoshonee lndian Remedy") Brief History This property forms part of Lot 10 in the First Concession of Ernestown Township that was originally granted to John Davy (1740 - 1805). The grant totalled 152 acres and was patented by Crown Deed on 5 November 1803. A town plan divided the property into lots in 1804. Davy served in the 1st Battalion of the King's Royal Regiment of New York.l Davy settled on the land with his wife and daughter by October 1784, and then returned to New York for cattle and supplies.2 John Davy's Will stipulated his property and possessions pass to his wife, Sophia, so long as she remained a widow.3 After her death or marriage, his property would be divided between his sons Peter and John. Peter Davy inherited the east half of the south three-quarters of Lot 10 in the First Concession and John Davy inherited the west half of the south three-quarters of Lot 10 in the First Concession, which also included a grist mill constructed by Jeptha Hawley before 1792 near the waterfront.4 Peter Davy purchased the lower twenty-five acres of the west half of Lot 10 from his brother, John Davy, in 1818.5 Town Lots 6 & 7 were purchased by E.D.

The property came under the ownership of Mrs Davy. She sold the property in 1910 to the Maple Leaf Lodge for $750.8 The lower level of the building was being used by the school board, awaiting the completion of the new Bath Academy. The Maple Leaf Lodge moved into the premises on 11 October 1911.

Prepared in celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Maple Leaf Lodge No. 119, History of Free Masonry in Bath, C.W. 1785 -2009 records the history and role of masonry in the Village of Bath. The first mason's lodge was held in Finkle's Tavern in 1785, with the first permanent lodge established at the top of Lodge Street in the Village of Bath in 1805. Land was granted by Peter Davy, adjacent to the site of his later home at 370 Academy Street. The name "Lodge Street" takes its name from the Masons.

The second Masons' lodge replaced the originalwooden structure with a brick building in 1812, painted in Spanish Brown. lt was destroyed by fire in 1821, and was replaced by a third structure in 1824. Due to financial difficulty, the third structure was sold to Peter Davy in 1832. Masons in the Village of Bath met in a variety of locations in the 1840s and '1850s.

ln 1859, the Maple Leaf Lodge was established. Between 1871 and 1911, the Lodge met at Layer Cake Hall. Dr Roderick Kennedy, a brother of the Maple Leaf Lodge and owner of the Layer Cake Hall, granted favourable terms in the rental agreement, with work and repairs deducted from the rent in the 1870s - 1890s.s The Layer Cake Hall was deeded to the Synod of the Diocese of Ontario [Anglican Churchl in 1892. Arrangements between the Maple Leaf Lodge and St John's Anglican Church remained until 1908, when the lease agreement was not renewed to its usual 5- year term. The former E.D. Priest Store was secured as the future home for the Maple Leaf Lodge in 1910. The Maple Leaf Lodge moved into the premises on 11 October 1911.

The structure was expanded in 1928 by Charles and George Davy, carpenters. ln 1945, a paper roof was installed with limited success on the building.l0 The building was upgraded

This was an important publication acting as the first informal recognition of properties of historic or architectural interest in the Village of Bath. As a seminal publication, the Red Book has been accepted by the community as the authority on heritage issues in the Village of Bath, reprinted and updated several times. The E.D. Priest Store was included in the Village of Bath Heritage Conservation District (1982) because of its historical or architecturalvalue, demonstrated through its inclusion in the Red Book.

The E.D. Priest Store is of physical or design value because the double verandah structure. This is a rare, unique, and representative example of a form of commercial architecture that once characterized the Village of Bath. Subsequent fires in 1901 and 1942 destroyed many other double verandah structures in the Village of Bath. lt is recognized as the best remaining example of the commercial Regency style in the Village of Bath, but also draws heavily upon Georgian and pre-Revolutionary American stylistic references. The E.D. Priest Store's double verandah displays a high degree of craftsmanship, articulated through the robust wooden construction. Substantial plinths and piers support the double verandah, with a cross-hatch balustrade on the second storey. The wooden siding of the structure maintains the historic integrity of the building. Key heritage attributes also include the windows and doors, although windows presently have aluminum storm windows installed on the exterior. There have been many additions to the E.D. Priest Store (1928, 1961 , and 1978); however the historic integrity of the principle building has been maintained through sympathetic massing and the continued use of wood cladding.

The E.D. Priest Store is of historical or associative value because it is an early commercial structure in the Village of Bath. Once characterized by double verandahs along the Main Street, commercial structures were easily recognized by patrons and shoppers. Connected by a wooden boardwalk, the commercial core of the Village of Bath served locals and regional visitors. The Village of Bath was an important early centre of transhipment and commerce. Today, the E.D. Priest Store is the only remaining double verandah, acting as an important reminder of the former regional role of the Village of Bath.

This property has historical/associative value. This value derives from its associations with Ezra D. Priest (1807-1882), who came to own three properties in the Village of Bath. Born in the United States, E.D. Priest settled in the Village of Bath in 1820 and established a commercial enterprise. The 1851 Census indicates E.D. Priest working as a carriage maker out of his two- storey frame house, 428Main Street Bath. He was living with his wife and seven children; his eldest son, E. Priest (born circa 1834), worked with him as a carriage maker and his eldest daughter, S. Priest (born circa 1832) was a schoolteacher. By 1861, E.D. Priest's three eldest children had left home and he is recorded as'merchant.'The Meacham Atlas (1878) records F.H. Priest as 'druggist' in the Village of Bath, suggesting that the youngest son of E.D. Priest took over the family business upon his father's retirement.

E.D. Priest is also associated with the properties at 188 First Street (now demolished), 418 Queen Street (E.D. Priest Family House), and 432 Main Street (Hiram Hilliard House). Homes on these properties were constructed after the initial success of his commercial ventures and the family was no longer living in the second storey of the commercial property at 428 Main Street Bath.

Brief History This property forms part of the east half of Lot 9 in the First Concession of Ernestown Township. lt included 105 acres that were originally granted to Jacob Miller in 1784. Miller was a private in Jessup's Loyal Rangers. The land was patented by Crown Deed on 17 May 1802. By 1803, Mitter had sold at least a portion of the land to Andrew Johnson, the son of Sergeant James Johnson, who was an innkeeper.l The property was sold by sheriff's sale in 1811.2 The property later came under the ownership of the Hawley family.3 The property later came into the ownership of Peter Davy.

ln 1846, Peter Davy sold the property to Eugene Quinon. ln 1847 , Quinon sold the property to David Forbes. The Walling Map (1859) shows two structures on the property associated with the Forbes family that front onto Main Street. The eastern structure is the David Forbes House (438 Main Street) and the western structure is the Hiram Hoselton House (444 Main Street). ln 1864, David Forbes took out a mortgage from the Bank of Montreal to make improvements on the property. Later in 1864, David Forbes sold the property to Samuel Rogers.

Descriotion of Propertv The David Forbes House is a one-and-a-half storey wood frame structure located on the north side of Main Street in the Village of Bath between Raglan Street and First Street. Originally constructed as an Ontario Cottage, the home has been added to and renovated over its history to suit the needs of subsequent owners. This structure is of greater setback than the Town Hall, but similar to 444 Main Street.

This properly forms part of the Village of Bath Heritage Conservation District

Statement of Cultural Heritaqe Value or lnterest The David Forbes House is of cultural heritage value or interest because of its inclusion in the History and Architecture, Village of Bath, Ontario (1976), also known as the Red Book. This was an important publication acting as the first informal recognition of properties of historic or architectural interest in the Village of Bath.

The David Forbes House was included in the Village of Bath Heritage Conservation District (1982) because of its historical or architectural value, demonstrated through its inclusion in the Red Book.

The David Forbes House is of physical or design value because of its demonstration of the Ontario Cottage style. ln this situation, the original structure has been adapted over time to include two large dormers in the gable roof, increasing the space and utility of the second storey of the home. Historic photographs (early and 1976) indicate the evolution. Difference is further articulated in varying finishes of windows and trim, with more ornate pediment trim on ground storey windows; the east dormer is more complex in composition with twin two-over-one glazing pattern, compared to the single three-over-one glazing pattern in the west dormer.

The David Forbes House has historical or associative value through its connections to important figures in the history of the Village of Bath. Connections include Jacob Miller, the Davy family, Eugene Quinion, David Forbes, and Samuel Rogers.

The David Forbes House demonstrates contextual value through its role in defining and supporting the character of the Village of Bath through its massing, scale and setback. This property contributes to an understanding of the evolution of the Village of Bath to the present day and dates from the identified period of significance (1784 - 1864).

Date of Construction Circa 18581 Previous Uses Residential Brief History This property forms part of the east half of Lot 9 in the First Concession of Ernestown Township. lt included 10b acres that were originally granted to Jacob Miller in 1784. Miller was a private in Jessup's Loyal Rangers. The land was patented by Crown Deed on 17 May 1802. By 1803, Miller had sold at least a portion of the land to Andrew Johnson, the son of Sergeant James Johnson, who was an innkeeper.2 The property was sold by sheriff's sale in 181 1.3 The property later came into the ownership of Peter Davy.

The Walling Map (1859) shows the property associated with D. Sharp. The 1861Census lists David Sharp, age 33, as a tailor living with his father Matthew Shape, mother, two sisters and younger brother in a one-and-a-half storey frame house that was constructed in 1858. The 1851-1852 Census Returns list Matthew Sharp living in a one-storey frame house with his son David. ln 1865, David Sharpe took a $182.00 mortgage on the property. He sold the property to W.C. Blair in 1866 for $425.00. William Chalmers Blair (b.1808) was an lrish Presbyterian tailor who arrived in Canada between 1840 and 1846, and settled in the Village of Bath.a ln 1883, the property was purchased by Dr Roderick William Kennedy, the son of Dr Roderick Kennedy.

The name of the property, William Morrow Farm, is taken from association with the Morrow family who emigrated to Amherst lsland from lreland. Charles Morrow (1776-1846) farmed on Amherst lsland; his sons Hubert and Daniel established a farm near the Village of Bath in the 1790s. Hubert Morrow's son John Morrow (1813-1889) constructed a home in the 1830s. Daniel Henry Morrow (born 1860) dedicated the Window of the Good Shepherd in St John's Anglican Church in memory of his parents John and Catherine Presho Morrow (1829-1897). ln the 1880s, the Village Council informed William Morrow that his property had declined into a poor condition and required prompt attention.

Formerly known as "Building A," the William Morrow Farm was not included in the Red Book (1976) inventory. ln the

Designation Repoft (1982), Godfrey Spragge writes "Building B was not included in the original list of buildings to be inventoried. This building and Building A are significant for the reason that the architectural characteristics of these two structures are quite compatible with other buildings in the district. On that account they need to be protected in order to preserve the general historic and architectural character of the district." This is an early recognition of the importance of contextual value in preserving cultural heritage integrity.

Further historical research may be required.

The William Morrow Farm has historical or associative value because of its associations with the Morrow family and the Sharp family. The name of the property, William Morrow Farm, is taken from association with the Morrow family who emigrated to Amherst lsland from lreland. Charles Morrow (1776-1846) farmed on Amherst lsland; his sons Hubert and Daniel established a farm near the Village of Bath in the 1790s. Hubert Morrow's son John Morrow (1813-1889) constructed a home in the 1830s. Daniel Henry Morrow (born 1860) dedicated the Window of the Good Shepherd in St John's Anglican Church in memory of his parents John and Catherine Presho Morrow (1829-1897). Matthew and David Sharp worked as tailors in the Village of Bath in the 1850s and 1860s.

The William Morrow Farm has historical or associative value because of its inclusion on the Bath Bicentennial Quilt (1984). Martha Schell completed the Morrow Farm panel. The panel depicts the house in scene surrounded by trees. The building is dated to circa 1858. The Bath Bicentennial Quilt is currently stored at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, Ontario.

The William Morrow Farm demonstrates contextual value through its role in defining and supporting the character of the Village of Bath through its massing, scale and setback. This property contributes to an understanding of the evolution of the Village of Bath to the present day and dates from the identified period of significance ('1784 - 1864). This property in particular was included in the Village of Bath Heritage Conservation District in 1982 because of its compatibility with adjacent properties and its support of the heritage character of the area.

Description of Property The Windchime House stone wall extends a total of 209'in length from east to west along the north side of South Shore Rd. The original foundation stones indicate that the wall was 228' long before it was moved. The restoration created seven sections of wall. From east to west, the sections are: 15' , 34' , 16', 18', 12' , 35' and 40' in length. The wall was restored to allow for walkways and lilacs, while the original wall may have existed at one continuous expanse.

Section 1 , to the east of the existing driveway is 15' in length. lt includes a pillar at its easternmost end, squared at the base and rounding as it heightens. There are approximately 12 stone courses and capstones, giving a height of 36"

next section (Section The 2) begins to the west of the driveway and extends to a length of 34' , each side ending with a large boulder. Moving westward, a gap has been left open for a walkway and yet another large boulder begins the next expanse of wall (Section 3) which is 16' in length. Section 4, 18'in length continues to the west.

The Sth Section is shoder, with a length of 12', with lilacs at either end. lt is found to the east of the gravel stone walkway area.

Section 6, to the west of the gravel area, at 35', is longer and runs at a slight angle towards the house. The last, Section 7, is the longest at 4Q' in length and is found to the extreme west of the yard

Generally, each section is 30-36" wide at the base, tapering to 24" at the top, with approximately 8 stone courses giving a height of 30" to 40" (Fig. 1 1, 12)

This dry stone wall has been inspired by the deep sense of pride in Amherst lsland history and culture. Part of Windchime House is built on the site of an historic farmhouse. The existing reconstructed stone wall was originally rebuilt over the remains of the farm's dry stone fence foundation, which was discovered when excavations were being done. The present owners had

Jacob Murray (born and raised on the island) reconstruct this dry stone fence in 2007 but in 2010 it was moved back from the road to its present location as required by the Roads Dept. This restoration carries on a unique island tradition. This wall has been restored in seven sections to allow for pathways and lilac bushes, each section of wall exhibiting rounded ends and the inclusion of granite boulders. The wall is in pristine condition with capstones in place, a wonderful example of dry stone wall restoration Description of Heritage Attributes The dry stone walls / fences on Amherst lsland provide cultural heritage value, and exhibit integrity of unique form, location, craftsmanship and materials. They provide an important contribution to our understanding of the history of the island, of the lives of the people who settled here generations ago. The Stone Walls are among the most tangible remnants of early lrish-Scottish settlement and development which date back to 1840's-1850's.

The migration of the lrish, primarily from the Ayrds Peninsula in what is now called Northern lreland, played a significant role in bringing people to the lsland who had the skill, the knowledge and the heritage to build the walls / fences. The bedrock was relatively shallow and farmers were constantly removing rocks as they ploughed the soil. Those early pioneers used their abundance of rocks, creating homes, barns and fences that were functional, practical, durable and attractive. Many of the dry stone walls / fences on the island are over 140 years old, and echo the past.

Traditional Dry-Stack Stone Walls originated with dry-stacked stonework where the walls are carefully layered up without mortar. Gravity serves as the glue that holds everything together. Free- standing dry-stack stone walls are usually made larger at the base and then taper in slowly as the height increases. The fences consist of two separate walls with stone rubble inside and which taper inwards at the top. The fences are capped with large flat stones set diagonally which prevents water from freezing in large pools within the fences, as it is dispersed evenly over the top flat surface. No cement is used but rather lsland clay is spread at intervals while the fence is being built and becomes as hard as cement. An interesting aspect to many of the Amherst lsland historic dry stone walls/fences is the fact the most of the walls / fences were built almost vertically. Normally this would decrease the longevity of the walls/fences. However, the island has a unique aspect to it lending to this being less of an issue; the bedrock is very close to the surface, suggesting less impact from frost. Besides this, much of the stone itself is unique in that it has an almost sand paper texture providing an abrasive surface. These two facts have definitely led to a longer lifespan for the walls regardless of the vertical design.

Ernestown Township that was originally granted to John Davy (1740 - 1805). The grant totalled 152 acres and was patented by Crown Deed on 5 November 1803. A town plan divided the property into lots in 1804. Davy served in the 1't Battalion of the King's Royal Regiment of New York.1 Davy settled on the land with his wife and daughter by October 1784, and then returned to New York for cattle and supplies.2 John Davy's Will stipulated his property and possessions pass to his wife, Sophia, so long as she remained a widow.3 After her death or marriage, his property would be divided between his sons Peter and John. Peter Davy inherited the east half of the south three-quarters of Lot 10 in the First Concession and John Davy inherited the west half of the south three-quarters of Lot 10 in the First Concession, which also included a grist mill constructed by Jeptha Hawley before 1792 near the waterfront.4 Peter Davy purchased the lower twenty-five acres of the west half of Lot 10 from his brother, John Davy, in 1818.5

Gabriel Belfour purchased this property from John Davy in 1836.6 The Red Book (1976) speculates that Gabriel Belfour built a residential structure on this property in the present location of 155 Davy Street.T Research indicates that this property was constructed in 1977 of a contemporary style and therefore cannot be the original structure.

This structure was more likely constructed after the severance of Belfour's lot in 1843, selling a western parcel to T.C. Johnson, 399 Main Street Bath. The Walling Map (1859) shows four structures on the Belfour property. The 1851- 1852 Census Refurns and the 1861 Census show Gabriel Belfour living in a one-and-a-half storey frame structure. By 1861, two of Gabriel's sons were working in the family business as carriage maker and blacksmith, with a third son working as a clerk. Gabriel Belfour's mother is listed as one of the most elderly residents of the Village of Bath at 80 years of age.8 Meacham's Atlas (1878) shows Belfour's property extending from Main Street all the way to Lake

Description of Property

Statement of Cultural Heritaqe Value or lnterest The Gabriel Belfour House is of cultural heritage value or interest because of its inclusion in the History and Architecture, Village of Bath, Ontario (1976), also known as the Red Book. This was an impodant publication acting as the first informal recognition of propefties of historic or architectural interest in the Village of Bath. As a seminal publication, the Red Book has been accepted by the community as the authority on heritage issues in the Village of Bath, reprinted and updated several times.

The Gabriel Belfour House has physical or design value. This value derives from its massing and scale. Further character defining elements that reflect this value include its demonstration of the Regency style in the Village of Bath, as characterized by the proportion of solids to voids on the main fagade of the structure. ln a progression from the Georgian style, the Regency style is characterized by larger windows with more elaborate detailing, as demonstrated in the Gabriel Belfour House. This structure represents a successful businessman in the Village of Bath. Other character defining elements include the doors and surround, windows, fluted pilasters, entablature, stringcourse and dado below ground storey window. Although not original, the porch is a character defining element that recollects the earlier double verandah as indicated in historic evidence.

The Gabriel Belfour House has historical or associative value through it connection to Gabriel Belfour (born 181 1 , lreland). Gabriel Beflour was an important businessman in the Village of Bath in the mid-nineteenth century, during Bath's most prosperous period. This structure reflects his important position in the communitv. ln 1860, Gabriel Belfour was working with Henry

Armstrong as carriage makers and employed 16 employees, producing 40 carriages, lS lumber wagons, 25 cutters and 17 lumber sleighs.e Three of his sons worked with him in the family trades as carriage maker, blacksmith and clerk.

The Gabriel Belfour House demonstrates contextual value because it contributes to an evolved character of the Village of Bath Heritage Conservation District. lts contextual value derives from its role in defining and supporting the character of the Village of Bath through its massing, scale and setback. This property contributes to an understanding of the evolution of the Village of Bath to the present day and dates from the identified period of significance (1784 - 1864).

Physical attributes that contribute to the cultural heritage value of the Gabriel Belfour House include: a

HERITAGE PLAQUE PROGRAM POLICY

Policy Statement

Loyalist Township has adopted a policy for the Heritage Plaque Program. The Program provides property owners with a complementary heritage plaque which commemorates the heritage status designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. The heritage plaque recognizes the architectural, cultural and historical resources which contribute to the character of the community. The Heritage Plaque Program is intended to promote pride in the community by identifying examples of the region's unique heritage character.

Loyalist Township has established a set of reasonable guidelines to govern the Heritage Plaque Program. These guidelines outline the Program's purpose,, eligibility, application process, decision process, installation process and the governance of the plaque once it is installed. The Guidelines are intended to ensure the Program's success.

Heritage Plaque Program Guidelines

The Heritage Plaque Program provides a complimentary and free of charge uniform heritage plaque.

Administration of the Heritage Plaque Program is carried out by Loyalist Township Heritage Committee and the Planning and Development Department. Loyalist Township Council will have final approval for all heritage plaques applications.

The purpose of the Program is to commemorate the heritage status of the designated heritage properties in Loyalist Township and to promote pride in the community by identifying the built heritage assets of the community.

Application Process

Property owners must complete the Heritage Plaque Program application and agree to the Heritage Plaque Program Guidelines in order to be successful.

Applications will be accepted year round and may be submitted at any time. Final decisions are determined by the Heritage Committee and Council subject to available funding.

Eligible applicants are owners of properties designated under Part IV or Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act and within Loyalist Township.

3. Affirm that they understand that the heritage plaque design and the information being displayed is determined by Loyalist Township and the Loyalist Township Heritage Committee.

4. Agree that upon installation the plaque is to be affixed in a publicly visible exterior location on the property.

Council Decision Updates Page 109 of 117 Page 9 of 13 AGENDA ITEM #7.3.

Installation Process

Successful applicants will be consulted regarding the design and contents of the Heritage Plaque. The final design will be decided by the Heritage Committee and Loyalist Township who will ensure that the design adheres and is consistent with other heritage plaques in the community.

As per the Program Guidelines, the successful applicant must agree that those installing the plaque have permission to be on the property and to install the heritage plaque. The applicant must agree that Loyalist Township is not liable for any occurrences during the installation process, including but not limited to damage.

Governance of Heritage Plaques

Heritage plaques are owned by Loyalist Township and are considered on loan to the property owner. Property owners are not permitted to remove or relocate the heritage plaque without approval and permission from Loyalist Township and the Heritage Committee. If the property owner wishes to own a duplicate of the plaque, they may purchase a plaque at cost.

The property owner is responsible for the heritage plaque, including regular upkeep and maintenance, and safeguarding against damage or theft. Should any damage or theft occur, the property owners is require to notify Loyalist Township and the Heritage Committee as soon as possible.

Subject to available funding, the Heritage Committee will assume costs associated with repair or replacement of the plaque. Repair or replacement may be deferred or delayed until funding becomes available.

Request to transfer/keep/store a cardboard box from the interim Ferry Office, Stella

Dear Ms. De Groot:

There was an interesting, cardboard, storage box merely labelled with a post-it note, 'oHistoric" retrieved by a member of the Board of The Neilson Store Museum from the interim Ferry Office, Stella.

Early January, our quest was to find the original manuscript, compiled and written for the Oral History Project, "A stroll through historical Stella" which had been mimeographed and distributed in 1982. The box contained this manuscript and we are pleased to have digitized the original photos and intend to post a revised tour on a website for a new generation.

The other contents of the box appear to be a residual collection of miscellaneous old papers: feny business 1940s, 1950s, Council draft minutes I974, insurance, etc.

Ms. Barb Grenier, Ferry Clerk, agreed to lend the box to us. The collection is iurrently being studied by retired Captain Warren Kilpatrick, while he researches our Ferry Service. Warren will note an initial inventory.

Ms. Grenibr is looking forward to moving into the finished Ferry Office and the transfer of records. However, The Neilson Store Museum would like to request the transfer/donation of the contents of the "historic" cardboard box from the interim Ferry Office, Stella.

Sincerely,

fu, zzzl-r €t-tn- t-', r //<- Anders Bennick, President Neilson Store Museum and Cultural Centre Inc
