Brampton Heritage Board Item I1 for May 20, 2014 I 1-1 Staff Comment Form Date: May 8, 2013 To: Brampton Heritage Board Property: 69 Queen Street West Applicant: 2179986 Ontario Inc. Subject: 69 Queen Street West - Heritage Impact Assessment This staff comment form has been prepared for the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the cultural heritage resource at 69 Queen Street West, also known as the former Peel Creamery. This HIA was submitted as part of the notice of intention to apply for a demolition permit that was submitted by the property owner, as required under Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The HIA has been prepared to determine whether the heritage resource contains enough cultural heritage value to warrant retention, and outline mitigation measures that should be implemented. The attached HIA satisfies the City’s requirements for a Heritage Impact Assessment. HIA Details: Prepared By: Su Murdoch Historical Consulting Final Submission: May 2014 I 1-2 Subject Site o 69 Queen Street West is located near the southwest corner of Queen Street West and George Street South in downtown Brampton. o The property contains concrete block building that is currently vacant. o The property is listed on the City of Brampton’s Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources. o The property owner has submitted a notice of intention to apply for a demolition permit. Report Highlights: o The concrete block building was erected circa 1925 for the operation of The Peel Creamery. o The Peel Creamery was operated by the Pulfer/Dennis family from 1924 until at least 1971. o The building was subsequently used by a catering company, and most recently, an automotive repair business. o John Pulfer and his son, John Henry Pulfer, were early farmers in Chinguacousy Township and bred prize winning Jersey cattle. o His other son, George Pulfer, was involved in the farm implement business and manufactured a milk cooler type “creamer”. o The building was originally a one-storey structure constructed of concrete blocks, and a second storey was added in the 1940s. o The use of concrete block is not unique for 1920s construction. o The building does not impart any physical knowledge or further understanding of the technology of cream processing, for which it was constructed. o The site context has been altered with the construction of the West Tower of the Southwest Quadrant Renewal Plan. o The property is not a suitable candidate for protection under the Ontario Heritage Act and does not warrant retention. o The property owner is proposing to create a parking lot on the site upon removal of the building. Report Recommendations: o That the property owner seek unconditional permission to demolish the building. o Before demolition commences, the availability of the concrete blocks as salvage could be offered to the City. o If this property is developed for other than the proposed parking lot, it could be the location of a marker commemorating the history of the local dairy industry and the role of early 20th century creameries, if this has not been done elsewhere within the City of Brampton. 2 I 1-3 o When designing the future building for this site, some consideration should be given to this location as a transition between the West Tower that fronts onto Queen Street West and the low rise scale of the buildings at 75 and 81 Queen Street West. Staff Recommendations: Staff supports the conclusions of the HIA that the building located at 69 Queen Street West is not a suitable candidate for retention, and offers the following recommendations: That the demolition of the building on 69 Queen Street West be permitted; That the property owner provide a copy of the Heritage Impact Assessment to The Peel Art Gallery, Museum + Archives (PAMA); and That upon redevelopment of 69 Queen Street West, a plaque commemorating the history of the local dairy industry and the role of early 20th century creameries on the property be installed by the property owner at their expense and to the satisfaction of the City. 3 I 1-4 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT THE PEEL CREAMERY 69 QUEEN STREET WEST, CITY OF BRAMPTON PREPARED FOR 2179986 ONTARIO INC. SU MURDOCH HISTORICAL CONSULTING 47 RODNEY STREET, BARRIE, ON L4M 4B6 705.728.5342 [email protected] MAY 2014 I 1-5 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT 69 QUEEN STREET WEST, CITY OF BRAMPTON SUMMARY For the reasons given in this Heritage Impact Assessment, it is recommended that the property owner seek unconditional permission to demolish the former creamery building at 69 Queen Street West. Before demolition commences, the availability of the concrete blocks as salvage could be made known to the City of Brampton. If this property is developed for other than the proposed parking lot, it could be the location of a marker commemorating the history of the local dairy industry and the role of early 20th century creameries, if this has not been done elsewhere within the City of Brampton. The City has specifications for commemorative markers and will require the property owner to provide and install the plaque, complete with text and images. This section of Queen Street West has been so changed by the West Tower of the Southwest Quadrant Renewal Plan that determining a suitable height and scale for any future development on the subject property is almost redundant. When designing a building for this site, some consideration should be given to this location as the transition between the West Tower fronting on Queen Street West and the pedestrian scale of the buildings at 75 and 81 Queen Street West. Some effort to “even out” the scale and provide a better transition between the two is warranted.

As required by s. 27 (3) of the Ontario Heritage Act (“Act”), the property owner, 2179986 Ontario Inc., has given the City sixty days notice of its intention to apply for a demolition permit for this listed property. The City has a policy requiring that a Heritage Impact Assessment (“HIA”) be prepared by a qualified heritage conservation professional and submitted with the application to demolish. The HIA is to be assembled according to the City’s Terms of Reference. The objective of the HIA is to provide the information on which the City and its municipal heritage committee will base its evaluation and decisions regarding the mitigation of any cultural heritage resources that may exist on a subject property, prior to the approval of any permit applications.

No structural integrity or building condition assessment was commissioned. 2.0 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The legal description of the subject property is part Lot 2, Plan BR 16, Brampton. This part of Lot 2 fronts on the south side of Queen Street West, between George and Elizabeth streets. On April 8, 2014, there was a one/two storey, concrete block building on the site that was erected about 1925 to house The Peel Creamery. Its most recent use was as an automotive service and sales garage. The building is currently vacant. The former creamery building is part of a cluster of two storey, early 20th century commercial buildings. In 2014, the Southwest Quadrant Renewal Plan, including a new nine storey building (West Tower), was under construction. This glass structure dominates the southwest corner of Queen Street West and George Street, and forms an imposing backdrop to the subject property and others along the south side of Queen Street West. SU MURDOCH HISTORICAL CONSULTING MAY 2014 – 7 I 1-8 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT 69 QUEEN STREET WEST CITY OF BRAMPTON 3.0 PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT The property owner is proposing the demolition of the former creamery building but has no immediate plans for the redevelopment of the property.

    SISTERS IN TOIL: THE PROGRESSIVE DEY ALUATION AND DEFEMINIZATION OF ONTARIO DAIRYWOMEN'S WORK AND TOOLS, 1813-1914 by © Meredith Leigh Quaile A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Faculty of Arts Memorial University of Newfoundland & Labrador June 2010 St. John's Newfoundland & Labrador Abstract In nineteenth and early-twentieth century Ontario, dairywomen toiled daily with cows and manure, sour milk and greasy butter, yet without improved apparatus, agricultural education, or male support. On the provincial family farm, milking, cream­ separating, and butter-making chores included various time-consuming steps, physical labour, and an array of task-specific objects. This thesis analyses agriculture, and dairying in specific, as it began the transition from traditional to industri al, and consequently from female to male. This dissertation touches on particular topics relevant to farmwomen's labour, including: agricultural education and improvement through science; public debate and perception surrounding gendered work; the government's role in promoting industrialization and thus defeminization; the concept of the dairyqueen in technological advertising; and, in particular, real farmwomen. These dairying 'sisters' include the well known , like Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Trail! , Laura Rose, and El iza Jones, and the unknown, such as Mary Newsam and the Hallen sisters, wh il e focusing on Lamira Billings and her daughters Sabra and Sally. This qualitative study reveals that by empl oying common dairy tools as a dominant, primary source, there are alternative perspectives from whi ch to consider rural women's ex peri ences.

  • Dairy Cows & Making Butter
    Dairy Cows Lesson Concept Objective: Understand how cows are raised for dairy, and how milk is turned into dairy products. Time: 40-45 minutes Setting: Indoors Activities: Read “Clarabelle: Making Milk and So Much More”, Make Butter Procedure: 1. Read “Clarabelle” to the students, then discuss the raising of dairy cows. Talk about the basics of animal care: food, proper shelter, lighting, heat, exercise, milking, and vet care. 2. Discuss Butter Making process with students, show pictures of Churns. 3. Eat the butter on crackers or bread. Making Butter Heavy Whipping Cream Small Glass Jar with Lid Salt Crackers 1. Fill jar 2/3 full with heavy whipping cream. 2. Add small amount of salt if desired. 3. Have students shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes per students, then pass and continue shaking until distinct solids and whey forms. 4. Drain whey. 5. Serve on crackers or bread. Making Butter Background Information: BUTTER-MAKING - HOME CHURNS AND UTENSILS Home butter-making took time and energy, but only needed simple equipment. Low-tech methods were still well-known in rural parts of developed countries like the USA in the mid-20th century. In the UK it became less common for ordinary families to make their own butter in the course of the 19th century, but the old ways were still used on small farms and in the dairies belonging to grand houses. After the cow(s) were milked, the milk was left to settle in a cool place, in shallow dishes, also called setting dishes or pancheons, so the cream would rise to the top.

Several people have, however, contributed to its final form, including Lars Olesen and Noel Rochford of the FAO Regional Dairy Development Training Team for English Speaking Countries, Naivasha, Kenya; Michael O'Riordain of Khartoum University; and Paul Neate, who compiled, edited and coordinated the production of the manual. in Foreword FOREWORD The information in this manual is based on ILCA's experiences, and particularly the work of the late Frank O'Mahony, in Ethiopia between 1984 and 1986. The manual is intended as a teaching aid for extension-level technicians, and this is reflected in the practical nature of the material. The level of technology is largely aimed at individual smallholders, but with some reference to techniques that could be used by groups of farmers or producers' cooperatives. Despite being limited to experience gained in Ethiopia, we believe that the information and techniques given in this manual will be useful to dairy technologists and development workers in other parts of Africa. |<L kM/C John Walsh Director General Contents 8.1.4 Determination of milk acidity 53 8.1.5 Alcohol test 54 8.1.6 Clot-on-boiling test 54 8.1.7 Butterfat determination 55 8.1.8 Determination of milk specific gravity 56 8.1.9 Determination of total solids (TS) and solids-not-fat (SNF) 57 8.1.10 Determination of moisture content of butter 58 9.
