BY ELAINE MARLIN Regis Alcorn is the GCC's new program co-ordinator working for the City of Ottawa. As of Jan. 6, she replaces Sharon Plumb who retired. Mary Tsai-Davies re- mains GNAG's executive director. Regis is a Holmwood Avenue resident who lives with her chil- dren, 13-year-old Kayleigh, a student at Hopewell, and Evan, 11, who is at First Avenue, and her husband, Archie Stepanian. Her children attended many com- munity centre programs, so Regis is already very familiar with the centre. She has worked for almost 20 years at Jack Purcell and, be- cause of her experience there, has a special interest in programs for the disabled. Regis looks forward to the improvements in accessi- bility in the new centre, such as an elevator and better washroom facilities.

Photos: John McLeod 246 Clemow Avenue, between Lyon Street and Percy Street. 93 Glebe Avenue, East of Bank Street, 1922. BY JOHN McLEOD Many Glebe houses were built under the influence of the Arts & Crafts Movement or the English Cottage style, based on the work of William Morris (1834-96), Philip Webb and C.F.A. Voysey, who took their inspiration from English rural domestic architecture. This style was adapted to North American climate, materials and taste. Canadian architects and designers such as George Reid, Eden Smith, Samuel Maclure, Cecil Fox and Percy Nobbs worked in this style. Pictured here are several examples of Arts & Crafts houses in the Glebe, although I have not yet been able to determine their architects. Architect John Leaning, in The Story of the Glebe (p. 62), writes that the area west of Lyon and south of Glebe Collegiate contains many houses in the Arts & Crafts and English Cottage traditions, built from the 1920s to as late as the 1940s, so there are more examples. What are some of the typical characteristics of the Arts & Crafts style? John Leaning calls it a movement and a philoso- phy. Others describe it as an attitude, a sense of proportion. Heritage planner and Glebe resident Sally Coutts refers to it as an ethos and characterizes it as having informal, asymmetric plans. In Arts & Crafts style, there is an attention to high- quality materials and craftsmanship. The houses have an Eng- are some Glebe Lyon Street. lish look, and here of the exterior features of the 92 Powell Avenue at examples: use of materials with texture, like stucco, fieldstones, brick (e.g., 93 Glebe, 246 Clemow) irregular asymmetrical roof line, and usually at least part of the roof coming down to the first floor (e.g., 92 Powell) dormers and gables (triangular peaks) breaking the roof line (e.g., 95 Glebe) banks of casement windows opening inwards, with leaded glass or small panes enclosed by wood (e.g., 92 Powell) offset front door or side door, protected by an arch or a small roof (e.g., 576 Queen Elizabeth Drive, 95 Glebe) prominent elaborate chimneys (e.g., 246 Clemow, 576 Queen Elizabeth Drive) exposed rafters at the edges of the roof, visible brackets and large overhangs (e.g., 93 Glebe) Some other examples not pictured here: 187 Powell at Percy 291, 293 Clemow, west of Percy 255 Clemow, east of Percy 27 Clemow, east of Bank (W.E.
