We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

Richardson Bath House (B) E D F A B C Old Sydenham Heritage Area Conservation District (2011) Page 2 of 9 Macdonald Park 1 King Street Date: 1890 (as a formal park) Macdonald Park is part of a late 18th century crown grant of farm lot 24, concession 1, to the Revd. John Stuart, U.E. and part of a crown grant of farm lot 25 given to Michael Grass, U.E. This area had, by that time, already been exploited for military strategic purposes when, in 1758, British forces landed along the shore to march east to Fort Frontenac, which they captured from the French. Stuart built a house (near and to the west of today’s Murney Tower) and worked a farm on his land. In 1809 Grass sold his lot to Henry Murney, whose name was given to Murney’s Point. The waterfront land was deemed of strategic importance during the War of 1812 because of the need to protect the small town of Kingston -- then east of West Street and mainly developed near the shore of Lake Ontario -- from potential overland invasion by the enemy. A defensive line of picket fences, blockhouses and batteries was erected around the land side of the town including a section along West Street. It had the extra x E x F x D A B C Old Sydenham Heritage Area Conservation District (2011) Page 3 of 9 protection of a blockhouse (burnt 1835) and battery in the area of Murney’s Point.

  • 7. When Coal Was King
    The areal photo of Kingston’s water front was taken in the 1950s. From the bottom left, or west side, along the shore of Lake Ontario we can just see the chimney of the Queen’s University and Kingston General Hospital heating plant. Further along the shore is the Murney Tower, currently a museum operated by Parks Canada. Next as an island in the water is the Kingston Yacht Club dating from 1895, then the Simcoe coal dock and immediately beside it the Kingston Water Works with coal piles visible. The rectangle of land sticking out is the Kingston Locomotive and Engine Company, Kingston’ largest manufacturing plant at that time. In the water is the lonely dot of another Murney Tower, now part of Confederation Basin, and to the north east the grain elevator, then the La Salle Causeway, and the village of Barriefield. The next insert is a detail of the Kingston waterfront in the 1950s. We see coal piles at the KWW and at the Simcoe dock. KYC is at the lower right corner. Photo credit Queen’s archives. 1 This photograph gives a view to the west. Prominent in the foreground is the Canadian Locomotive and Engine Co. The locomotive works were of course large users of coal and their coal dock reflects this. This is a detail of an aerial photo from the Queen’s archives: NLAC‐PA 30632‐V23‐Ph Aer‐S The photo dates from September or October 1920s. The aerial photo might have been made by Billy Bishop and his partner who was a photographer.
