Next Meeting Meeting Date - February 5, 2018 Agenda items Adjourn HC-2018-04 Usher/Winter That the meeting is hereby adjourned at 8:56 p.m. CARRIED. Ron Orr, Chair Page 8 of 114 January 23, 2018 Dear Mayor Keffer and Council, The Bond Head Women’s Institute has been in existence in Bond Head and surrounding area since 1904, and the members live their motto “For Home & Country”. We are involved in many educational and rural projects. For example, in the last 6 years we have produced and sold 5 calendars which have highlighted, in photos and short histories, the “Vanishing Barns of Bradford West Gwillimbury”, and one calendar which celebrated important people and achievements for Canada’s 150th. We have had many interesting discussions about how our funds would be spent. The consensus was that we would put our finances and efforts into a museum for our community. We are aware that Elsie Reynolds’s house (2875 Highway 27) is vacant and owned by a developer. We believe that this home could be transformed into an excellent museum. It is located in the heart of Bond Head and across from the Bond Head Community Centre, which would create an area for shared events. In the early 1900’s, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Phillips started the Tweedsmuir Histories for our area, and both ladies lived in Bond Head. What a proud legacy they left for us, and it would be wonderful if we could preserve their work, and the history of many of our local citizens, including the celebrated Sir William Osler and Sir William Mulock, in a single beautiful space. The home at 2875 Highway 27 is an integral part of the streetscape of a “Historical Bond Head” and would help to preserve the character of the hamlet. Would you be so kind to forward this request to the company, who now owns the property. Together, in partnership with them, we could create a proud historical facility. We are convinced, moreover, that many other BWG organizations would join forces with us to make this project a success! Sincerely yours, Bond Head Women’s Institute Page 9 of 114 ` HERITAGE BUILDING EVALUATION WORKSHEET HERITAGE BUILDING EVALUATION: IDENTIFICATION Municipal Address: 48 James Street, Bradford, Ontario Legal Description: roll 431201000311500 Lot: 15 Conc: VII Building Name: Inventory Identification: Date of Construction: circa 1840-60 Additions to Building: Original Use: Farm house Original Owner: Current Use: detached single family dwelling Current Owner: Current Zoning: residential Official Plan Designation: Name of Recorder: Ian Cooper, Diane Milos, Lynda Usher Date of Evaluation: January, 2018 Committee Review: Feb 4, 2018 Page 10 of 114 Fig 1.
