We would like to invite your Honor and Council to review the Family Week Proclamation enclosed. PIease sign it toward proclaiming October 15 through October 2 1,2006 as Family Week in the City of Nanaimo.
: We all know that parents have a solemn responsibility to love and care for their children while ' also providing for their needs. They are expected to teach them to love and serve others and to be law-abiding citizens which requires considerable sacrifice and dedication.
We are inviting your Honor and Council to join us in inviting responsible citizens of Nanaimo to promote measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamentaI unit of society. We know that happiness and a strong community is based in the security of strong homes and families.
Please join us in inviting the community to take this opportunity to spend one week reflecting on the importance of families and to plan activities to strengthen their own family relations. We have included a flyer we propose to make available to encourage family activities in the City during Family Week. We believe many families will benefit as they come together to play and learn. We will be hosting a community event (chili meal, family displays and information booths and a Family Dance) on Saturday, October 2 1. We would like to request the mayor attend and speak for about five minutes to families in attendance. Council members are also invited to the event to celebrate their appreciation of the family with community residents.

REPORT TO: COUNCIL
FROM: COUNCILLOR MERV UNGER, CHAIRPERSON GRANTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RE: 2006 GRANTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At its August 14, 2006 Regular Council Meeting, Council received recommendations from the Grants Advisory Committee stemming from its meeting held July 31, 2006. Inadvertently, one recommendation was left off the agenda.
BACKGROUND:
The Grants Advisory Committee has reviewed in detail the financial data and background information provided by the applicants. Recommendations are made in accordance with the Grants Policy and Guidelines adopted by Council.
The Committee recognizes both the limited funding that the City has available and the excellent community services provided by the various organizations. We are hopeful that the funds allocated by Council will allow the organizations in need of assistance to continue to provide their valuable services.
Grant funding is divided into the following categories: community service grants, travel grants, security grants, other grants and permissive tax exemptions.
Community service grants are given to social agencies providing advocacy, preventative and self-help services to residents of Nanaimo. Grants are given to fund services required by significant segments of the population and that are not funded exclusively by other levels of government. Agencies funded by the City should provide service to people who are in some way disadvantaged and need assistance in maximizing their quality of life.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council award a Community Service grant to Nanaimo Community Kitchens Society (application CS-03) in the amount of $3,000.00, with a recommendation to the society that they approach local Rgtary Clubs and other service organizations for funding in the future.

Don Bonner advised that the Canadian Mental Health Association recently lost its charitable tax status.
Darren Kiedyk replied that the association has a BC Society registration number, and they are in the process of getting their charitable status reinstated.
Councillor Unger asked whether we could in fact recommend a grant, to which Darren Kiedyk replied that the Canadian Mental Health Association is still a designated non- profit society under the Society Act of British Columbia.
Councillor Unger stated that he would personally feel more comfortable if the association were fully accredited.
Jack Doan asked for an example of a situation whereby the city has received a letter from a landlord stating that the permissive tax exemption would 'flow through' to the tenant.
Darren Kiedyk replied that the City currently has three churches on the Permissive Tax Exemption Bylaw where this situation occurs.
MOVED by Don Bonner, SECONDED by Tony Davis, that the Canadian Mental Health Association be placed on the 2006 Permissive Tax Exemption Bylaw for property it leases (building and footprint only) at 1045 Terminal Avenue North (folio 85840.00) providing the City receives a letter from the landlord stating that the benefit will 'flow through' to the tenant accordingly. THE MOTION CARRIED.
MOVED by Tony Davis, SECONDED by Don Bonner, that the Canadian Mental Health Association be denied a cash-in-lieu equivalent for 2006 property taxes. THE MOTION CARRIED.
6. NEW BUSINESS:
Nanaimo Community Kitchens Society (CS-03)
Jack Doan stated that there appears to be a dramatic increase in salaries according to the financial information provided.
Councillor Unger stated that had concerns with community service agencies that have heavy salary components to them. He questioned whether any grants awarded were not just creating jobs?
Darren Kiedyk stated that he was aware of this society since its inception. While it started off approximately six to eight years ago with a small number of volunteers, it has grown by demand and are finally able to pay salaries.
Jack Doan stated that he does not personally have a problem paying a director but that he thought that the increase in salaries was substantial.
Tony Davis replied that the 2005 financials indicate salaries of $14,700 and that the current budget shows salaries of $35,800. Furthermore, the salary budget for 2007 is $36,000. Minutes of the Grants Advisory Committee Page 6 July 31, 2006
Tony Davis stated that the executive director has worked for about five years on a volunteer basis.
MOVED by Tony Davis, SECONDED by Don Bonner, that the Nanaimo Community Kitchens Society receive a Community Service Grant in the amount of $3,000.00, with a recommendation to the society that they approach local Rotary Clubs and other service organizations for funding in the future. THE MOTION CARRIED.
Councillor Unger informed committee members that the Grants Review Committee was in the process of completing its recommendations to Council and that one of the items discussed was that more onus be put on organizations to seek funding from agencies other than the City of Nanaimo.
Eaales' Nest Foundation Society (CS-04)
Jack Doan stated that he had a little trouble understanding this application, as everything referred to "see attached".
Darren Kiedyk replied that he had spoken to the society's representative to suggest that they rework the application and ensure that the financial statement submitted adds up. Darren Kiedyk stated that this organization had taken over from the previous Alano Club that folded a year ago.
Daren Kiedyk stated that this is a very new organization, with a very new board. There is no budget and little financial history on which to base a decision.
Councillor Unger stated that there are various organizations in the community providing services for substance abuse and suggested that perhaps it would be best to channel funds to a single source rather than distributing funds to a many smaller organizations.
Jack Doan stated that the Eagles' Nest Foundation Society is primarily serving as a drop-in coffee centre for people who have drinking and drug problems.
Kait Light replied that this service could be provided by recreation centres.
MOVED by Kait Light, SECONDED by Jack Doan, that the Eagles' Nest Foundation Society be denied a Community Service Grant, due to receipt of an incomplete application, not a large number of volunteers, unsound financial and administrative management. THE MOTION CARRIED.
Nanaimo Communitv Gardens Societv (CS-05)
Councillor Unger informed the Committee that this society had just received a grant from the Social Planning Advisory Committee (SPAC) and that they are now applying to this Committee.
Tony Davis advised that the SPAC grant was $10,000 for the gleaning program. He further stated that he was personally contacted by the president of the Nanaimo Community Gardens Society to see if it was worth their while to apply to this Committee for funding as they were desperate for funding. REPORT TO COUNCIL
FROM: CHAIR, NANAIMO COMMUNITY HERITAGE COMMISSION
RE: COMMUNITY HERITAGE REGISTER UPDATE
COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION:
That Council adopt amended Schedule "A" as the City's official Community Heritage Register.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is to present Council with an updated heritage register including five additional buildings and one additional structure nominated by property owners and the Heritage Commission for inclusion in the register over the past year. The updated register also contains 53 revised heritage value statements for buildings already listed. In order for the buildings and structure to be added to the register, Council must pass a resolution adopting the updated heritage register. A copy of the full register document has been placed in the Council office for reference.
BACKGROUND:
Council adopted the City's first official Community Heritage Register at its regular meeting held 2002-Oct-07. At this time, the Register included 140 buildings, six cemeteries, and six structures. At its regular meeting held 2004-Nov-25, Council passed a resolution adding an additional five buildings to the register.
Reqister Function:
A Community Heritage Register is an official listing of properties identified by the City as having heritage value. Adoption of a register ensures that building owners and prospective buyers are aware of the building's heritage status. In addition, creation of a register permits Council, through the Heritage Procedures Bylaw, to implement temporary protection measures for buildings threatened with demolition or alteration. These temporary protection measures allow Council to:
temporarily withhold approval for an action that would lead to alteration of a listed heritage property; temporarily withhold a demolition permit; and require an impact assessment to determine the effect of a proposed development on a heritage resource, before the development takes place.
Buildings on a heritage register can also take advantage of special "equivalency" provisions contained in the B.C. Building Code Heritage Building Supplement. The register can also be used as a criterion for municipal grants, tax exemption, and non-monetary incentives, such as zoning relaxation or development bonuses.
New Nominations:
Since January, 2005, six properties and one structure have been nominated by property owners and/or the Heritage Commission for inclusion on the Register. In the Fall of 2005, the Heritage Commission reviewed and evaluated the nominations as required by the City's Heritage Procedures Bylaw No. 5549. At its meeting held 2005-Oct-05, the the following motion:
-Q? -9.5 Council Report - 2 -
"That the Commission recommend Council add the following properties to the Heritage Register: Stephens Residence (505 Stewart Avenue) Young-Pargeter Residence (45 Milton Street) Hitchen Residence (395 Machleary Street) Steel Residence (990 Campbell Street) Gulliford Residence (285 Wall Street) Castaway Motel Neon Sign (205 Terminal Avenue North)"
The successfully nominated properties and structure have been incorporated into a revised Heritage Register document, a copy of which is available for viewing in the Council office.
Housekeepinq Amendments:
With Staff assistance, the Heritage Commission also reviewed all existing heritage valuelcharacter statements contained in the Register for accuracy. A number of amendments were identified based on input from the Nanaimo Community Archives and on information generated by the recently completed Historic Places Initiative Statements of Significance Project. As a consequence of this review, the Commission has updated, to a greater or lesser degree, the value statements of approximately 53 property entries. These updates have been incorporated into the revised Register document.
One property, the Van Houten Block (16 commercial Street), has been removed from the register due to its demolition in Fall, 2005 to make way for the New Nanaimo Centre.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council adopt amended Schedule "Aas the City's official Community Heritage Register.

City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page 6 Situated at the corner of Robarts and Albert Streets, this simple house reflects an Eastern Canadian influence with its central front gable dormer. The house is symmetrically massed, with a central entry and paired windows to each side. The open front verandah has square columns. The property was owned by the B.C. Corporation, c/o Robert Ward 8 Co. of Victoria, until it was acquired by John Meakin in 1908. Earlier, Meakin was a miner, but by the time this house was built he was listed in directories as a pipeman. Shortly after the house was built, he is not listed as living in the city, and the later residents of the house are not known.
Name: Meakin Residence Location: 437 Albert Street
This tall house reflects the verticality of the Queen Anne style. A two storey projecting bay runs up the full height of the front fapde, and is decorated with 'fishscale' shingles and scroll-cut brackets. There are arched windows in the front gable and in the panelled front door. The large lot retains some early landscape features, including mature shrubs and hedges. The house was built by William Morrison, a tailor, on land acquired from Andrew Haslam; it is unknown if Morrison ever lived here.

City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 7 The first private telephone system in British Columbia ran from the Dunsmuir Mine at Wellington to the dock at Departure Bay. The Nanaimo telephone Company was incorporated in 1890, and the first Telephone Exchange was located in the Cavalsky Store, with Laura Cavalsky acting as operator. From 1893 until 1908 it operated from the building on Commercial Street that later housed the Daily Free Press. The Nanaimo Telephone Company merged with B.C. Telephone, and from 1908 until 1960 the exchange was located at 76 Bastion Street. B.C. Telephone introduced the busy signal in Nanaimo in 1955, and direct dialing in 1957.
Originally these were two separate buildings. The taller building to the west was built prior to 1908, and was owned by the Knights of Pythias; B.C. Telephone opened its exchange here in 1908. In 1911, it was extended to the rear, and was renovated in 1926, with a new front fapde. The smaller Name: B.C. Telephone building to the east was originally built in 1926 as a garage, with a store above. They were later joined with an addition that now forms the main
Location: 70-76 Bastion Street The B.C. Telephone Exchange building is a very good example of a vernacular Edwardian style commercial building and is significant as an early example of the adaptive reuse of buildings to suit corporate needs. The faqade redevelopment modernized the building and projected a more utilitarian, progressive image, appropriate for a service provider, than the original elaborate fa~ade.
Associated with Nanaimo's earliest commercial development, the Commercial Hotel has operated continuously in Nanaimo since 1875. The first Commercial Hotel was located on the adjacent corner. In 1913, this new structure was built as an addition and the original hotel was eventually torn
Designed by architects Breseman and Durfee, who also designed Victoria's First Congregational Church and St. James Hotel, the Commercial Hotel is a very good example of the Edwardian Commercial style and features the simplicity and overall restrained appearance typical of this style. Despite some alterations, much of the building's original character is intact, including the brick facing, projecting metal cornices and storefront piers.

City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 8 and remains in substantially original condition. Much of the interior is also intact, including Art Deco light fixtures, the staircase, balustrade and original wooden dance floor.
Designed by Vancouver architects McCarter & Nairne, the provincial masters of Art Deco style, the Eagle's Hall is a rare case of a building designed by non-resident architects andlor contractors. The firm dominated public architecture in Vancouver during the mid-2othcentury and is best known for the Marine Building and the Georgia Medical-Dental Building.
Location: 133-41 Bastion The cast concrete eagle sculpture over the front entry is a tangible reminder of the Eagle's long association with the building and of the importance of fraternal organizations in the cultural, economic and social life of the city. Before the institution of Medicare and government pensions, organizations like the Eagle's provided medical and other benefits to their members. In coal mining communities like Nanaimo where accident and death rates were exceptionally high, such benefits were crucially important.
The Raines Cabin is significant as an example of a community preservation project. Originally located in a rural area south of Nanaimo, the last private owners, Jane and Tom Gilchrist, in the process of tearing down the house, discovered the original log cabin hidden under later additions. The cabin was donated to the Nanaimo Museum, was moved to its present location in Bowen Park, and was restored in 1984.
The Raines Cabin's value resides in its location in a municipal park, readily accessible to the public as an educative and interpretative venue.
timber for the mines, and became foreman in charge of the stable at Extension. He made his wealth as a sawmill owner, and also owned one of the biggest horse racing stables in the province. In 1930 he bought this 160-acre property at North Field, and this striking country house was built by James Green at a cost of $25,000. Over the next 20 years Frank and his wife Hannah developed the property with gardens, and also built a horseracing track on the property.
philosophy of sympathy with the surrounding landscape. Beban House has many of the features typical of this style including its log construction, Name: Beban House stone foundations and chimneys, small paned windows and overhanging roofs. Location: 2290 Bowen Road Beban house is significant because its interior is one of the most intact and well-preserved 1930s interiors in public ownership in British Columbia. Beban House's size, park-like setting and its location on a slight rise make it a highly visible landmark in this neighbourhood.
City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 9 a stone mason, and was responsible for the masonry on the Nanaimo Opera House and the Queen's Hotel. He died in 1909 at the age of 60; his wife Mary Ann sold the house to Emma Eliza Kemp in 1917. The cottage later shared the lot with another house and with Manson's General Store. Jane Agnes Beck acquired the property in 1941 and her son inherited it eleven years later. The house changed hands again in 1955, and then passed to the Arthur Sutton family, who donated it in 1977 to the Nanaimo Historical Society when road widening necessitated demolition or relocation. It was moved to Piper's Park adjacent to the Nanaimo District Museum, and rehabilitated to provide a tangible reminder of how many of Nanaimo's early residents lived. It was designated a municipal heritage site on February 18, 1980.
required little skill and few tools and was, consequently, a cheap, easy-to-build choice for miners and other labourers. Worker's cottages were very modest; there was little or no ornamentation and square footage was typically under 500.

This house was built by the Steel Brothers, prolific local contactors from the 1920s to the 1950s. They owned a number of lots in this area and their workshop, later converted to a house, is still standing at 994 Campbell Street.
The Steel Residence is part of a grouping of heritage buildings in one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods, adjacent to the downtown core.
The Provincial Liquor Store is significant as one of few local buildings constructed by the provincial government. Built in 1949 to a standardized plan created by the Department of Public Works' Assistant Chief Architect Lord Wilfred Hargreaves, the Liquor Store is one of only two known surviving examples of this particular plan. The other is located in Prince George. Hargreaves also designed the Queen's Printers building in Victoria.
Location: 25 Cavan Street
City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page 10 Renovated in 1932, the Christian Science Society Building is a very good example of Classical Period Revival architecture. Typically monumental in scale and often featuring massive order columns and other oversize elements, this style was very popular for churches and public buildings during the late 19Ih and early 20fhcenturies. The Christian Science Society Building is, however, a very modest rendition of the style, more appropriate to the small congregation it sewed in Nanaimo and the financial constraints of its construction during the Depression.
A good example of early adaptive re-use, the building, original a residence known as the McDonald Property, was substantially renovated in 1932. Renovations included removing the interior partitions, setting the house on a concrete foundation and covering the outside in stucco. Since that time, the building has remained remarkably unchanged and continues to serve the function for which it was renovated. Name: Christian Science Society Building Location: 20 Chapel Street Date: 1932
Built in 1921 for Joseph H. and Florence Shaw, the residence is a very good example of late Craftsman style architecture. The house is notable for its refined handling of wood detailing. The overall cladding is cedar shingle, with twinned coursing to mark the foundation level. The exposed rafter ends, projecting brackets and the multi-paned casement windows with their tapered surrounds are all typical of the Craftsman style. The original front door, with its bevelled glass inserts and brass hardware, remains in place.
The building, one of only three remaining single-family houses in the downtown core, is a tangible reminder of the historic presence of this housing form in the downtown area. From the 1850s until the 1930s, Nanaimo's downtown included an eclectic mix of commercial, industrial and residential buildings, including single-family homes. By the 1930s, residential neighbourhoods adjacent to the downtown core were firmly established. Name: Shaw Residence Although the upper stories of commercial buildings and hotels continued to providing living accommodation, no new single-family housing was built Location: 41 Chapel downtown after 1930. -Date: 1922 The Shaw Residence is an exceptional example of a building that takes full advantage of its site. Located at the top of a cliff, the building is a prominent landmark and has spectacular views of Mount Benson to the west and the harbour to the east.
At the time this house was built, Joseph Shaw was the manager of Sampson Motors, 20 Front Street. In 1924 he became the manager of Nanaimo Motors, but the Shaws seem to have left Nanaimo soon after, as they are not listed in Directories after that year.
City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 11 history of the province and the earliest social and spiritual development of Nanaimo. Built on land given by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1859, the current building is the third church on the site.
Built in 1931, St. Paul's Anglican Church is an excellent and the only identified local example of Gothic Revival architecture, a popular style for churches in this period. The building's modest proportions and minimal ornamentation reflect its construction during the Depression. St. Paul's Anglican Church was designed by architect J.C.M. Keith, best known for Victoria's landmark Christ Church Cathedral.
Keith was born in Scotland in 1858, the son of an Anglican clergyman. He settled in Victoria in 1891, and three years later won the competition to design Victoria's landmark Christ Church Cathedral. Recommended by the Bishop, Keith's first design for this church was rejected as too costly,
The exterior of the church is distinguished by its stained glass windows and decorative pre-cast concrete trim. The interior has survived in intact condition, including a fir plank ceiling, plastered walls, a stone baptismal font, oak altar railings and pulpit, and a large fir organ case. The perpetual light to the left of the altar is an original miner's lamp, presented to Mr. Freeman in 1914 by the Wolfe Company of Germany when he was the manager of the Jingle Pot Mine.
The landscaped grounds in front of the church, combined with the adjacent Dallas Square Cenotaph plaza, form a significant park area at a busy downtown intersection. The front garden, with a winding path that leads to the main entry, creates a barrier from the street and a secluded, peaceful ambience appropriate to a church building.
Two stories in height, with a flat roof, the building marks a prominent intersection. The facades display highly ornamental detailing, including segmental arched window openings with projecting heads and keystones, brick pilasters with recessed lines, and projecting stringcourses. The original double-hung wooden windows have also survived.
This Downtown landmark was designated as a municipal heritage site in March of 1977. Name: Earl Block Location: 2-4 Church Street Date: Circa 1888-1890
City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 12 Sympathetically rehabilitated in 1997, the Bank of Commerce is Nanaimo's premier example of Classical Period Revival architecture. Built in 1914 during the 1912-1914 coal miners' strike, the building's classical conservatism represented tradition, stability and prosperity during a fractious and volatile period. Built to standards plans designed by Bank of Commerce staff architect Victor Horsburgh, the building transcends mere copying and responds dramatically to its prominent downtown corner location.
The Bank of Commerce Building's monumental presence, manifested in four massive columns, makes it second only to the Bastion as the city's most recognizable landmark.
Name: The Bank of Commerce The Bank of Commerce is an important intact example of the type of bank architecture that predominated throughout Canada during the late 191h and (now the Great National Land early 2othcenturies. Building) Location: 5-17 Church Street Date: 1914
In 1852 a Hudson's Bay Company shepherd was murdered near Saanich, and outraged Governor James Douglas was determined that law and order would prevail in the new colony. He dispatched a ship from Victoria to apprehend the two native suspects, one of whom was from Cowichan and the other the son of a chief from Nanaimo. They refused to surrender, however, and two more ships were dispatched to the area. After they were apprehended, they were tried on the quarterdeck of the S.S. Beaver on January 17, 1853, and hung the same afternoon, the first trial by judge and jury under English law on the Coast. The site of the hanging was originally called Execution Point, but subsequently became known as Gallows Point.
The Gallows Point Light Keeper's Cottage's value resides in its direct association with coal mining activity in the Nanaimo area. From the late lgth m:Gallows Point century to around 1938, the New Vancouver Coal Mining and Land Company and its successor companies developed extensive mine workings on Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage Protection Island that extended far out into the harbour and back towards Nanaimo. The Protection Island Mine was a long-term, significant Location: 208 Colviletown Trail employer and a major resource and, as such, a key element in the city's economic development. By the 1940s, it's demise along with that of other -Date: Circa 1912 area mines, signalled the end of the coal era and prompted the development of other industries. The Gallows Point Light Keeper's Cottage speaks to the critical importance of navigational aids in a coastal community dependent on the safe and efficient movement of large cargoes of coal, other goods, and people, particularly in pre-aircraft days. The fixed red anchor light, first installed at nearby Gallows Point in 1900 was replaced by a more powerful beacon in 1905 and was initially operated by miners from the Western Fuel Company. In the 1920% a foghorn was also installed to reinforce safety and navigational concerns. The light was eventually automated and remains an important aid to navigation for both pleasure and working craft.
Built around 1912, the Gallows Point Light Keeper's Cottage is a good example of a modest Edwardian residence. The building's simple form and massing reflects its utilitarian purpose and the minimal ornamentation that was characteristic of the era after the architectural exuberance of the Victorian period. A later addition is sympathetic to the building's original character.
The Gallows Point Light Keeper's Cottage is an excellent example of the adaptive re-use of a historic resource. This building and another residence built in 1938 were abandoned about 1980 when the lighthouse was automated. The two-acre site is now owned by the municipality and is used by a variety of community groups.
City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page I3 Designed by prominent local architect Thomas McArravy and built in 1955, the Jean Burns Building is a good example of International style architecture. A notable design feature is the second floor access stairway which is exposed to the street by a panelled glass wall. The building has been renovated but remains largely intact and represents an important trend towards a more modern, progressive architecture in post-war Nanaimo.
The building is significant for its association with Jean Burns, who operated a Ladies and Children's Wear Shop from this site for over forty years beginning in 1934. Burns opened branches at other Vancouver Island locations and is best remembered for the elegant, upscale merchandise and service she provided.
The Jean Burns Building forms part of a significant cluster of heritage buildings located at the intersection of Commercial, Wallace Streets and -Name: Jean Burns Building Victoria Crescent.

Alfred Nash opened a painting and decorating business in Nanaimo in 1891, and in 1912 started retail operations as Nash Paint and Wallpaper. Four years later he began stocking hardware. In 1936 Nash Hardware moved into an existing building on this site.
The Nash Hardware Building is a very good example of late Art Deco architecture. Originally built in 1909, the building received an Art Deco style facelift in 1945. The new faGade represented a modern design aesthetic that was increasingly popular in post-war Nanaimo and particularly appropriate to a building supply business.
The building is significant as part of a continuous line of similarly scaled and largely intact historic buildings located on the west side of Commercial Name:Nash Hardware Street. Location: 19 Commercial Street Date: 1909
Built in 1908, the Caldwell Block is a good example of a modest, vernacular Edwardian style commercial building. The original brick fapde is obscured by stucco but some of its features, including a cornice with brackets and moulded fascia, are still visible. Traces of the painted Caldwell's Clothing House sign, which occupied the building from at least 1920 until the late 1930s, are visible on the building's east side. Despite alterations, the building has maintained its character and reinforces the Edwardian era appearance of the west side of Commercial Street.
Name:Caldwell Block Location: 35 Commercial Street -Date: Circa 1908
City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page I4 c
The Hall Block is significant because of its association with Dr. G.A.B. Hall. Dr. Hall was the long time physician and surgeon to the Western Fuel Company miners and had a lengthy record of community service, including a term as Mayor from 1930-31. Hall represents the intrinsic connection between doctors, coal companies and the coal mining population. In a city with exceptionally high accident and death rates, these connections were especially significant.
Built in 1925, the Hall Block is a simple, symmetrical and well-proportioned example of an inter-war period building in a vernacular Edwardian Commercial style. With only minor alterations, the Hall Block maintains much of its original character.
Situated in the middle of one city block of largely intact and similarly scaled buildings, the Hall Block is a significant part of the Commercial Street streetscape. Name: The Hall Block Location: 37-45 Commercial Street -Date: 1925 - Built in 1913, the Rogers Block is a very good example of a vernacular Edwardian-era commercial building. John Hirst, one of Nanaimo's early settlers, arrived in 1863, and amassed property in and around the Downtown area, including the property on which this building stands. Hirst died in 1882, survived by his wife Harriet, three daughters and eight sons; his holdings were then managed by the Hirst Estate Land Company, One of the daughters was Louise Agnes, who married Francis James Rogers, who acted as Secretary for the Company. This building was underway when her husband died in 1912, and Louise Agnes Rogers arranged for its completion. It was built by contractor J. Henry Walker, originally from Ontario, who also built the Terminal Hotel. The two storey brick fa~adeis enlivened by the original projecting metal cornice above the storefront, and by an elaborate pressed metal cornice that continues the one on the adjacent Dakin Block. The name of the building and the date of construction are displayed in raised lettering. The two front bay windows were removed in an earlier renovation, but were reinstated as part of the rehabilitation work undertaken in the mid-1980s. -Name: The Rogers Block Location: 83-87 Commercial Street The Rogers block is significant because of its association with the Hirst and Rogers's families, early merchant families who played prominent roles in Date: 1913 the social and economic life of Nanaimo. The building also forms part of a continuous line of heritage buildings located on the West side of - Commercial Street.
Built in 1911, the Hirst Block is a superior example of the Edwardian-era commercial building style in Nanaimo. The front faGade is beautifully detailed with elaborate tan-coloured brickwork and a projecting pressed metal cornice. Three round-arched windows on the second floor have decorative bevelled glass in the upper sash. The building was sensitively rehabilitated as part of a 1985 Downtown Revitalization program.
The building is the eastern cap of a continuous line of substantially intact buildings located on the west side of Commercial Street. An elaborate pressed metal cornice at the roofline continues the one on the adjacent Rogers Block and reinforces the sense of connectedness to the rest of the street.

The rigid symmetrical front elevation that typifies this style has been modified by the placement of the lodge entrance door at the extreme eastern side of the building. The door placement accommodates the ground-floor commercial space the Lodge depended on to cover building expenses.

The Lodge is part of a grouping of historic commercial buildings located on Nanaimo's main downtown thoroughfare. Its prominent corner location, with large storefront windows on both the front and side elevations, adds to its street presence.
Location: 101 Commercial Nanaimo Hospital on Machleary Street.
The building was designed by local contractor, W. E. Turley of Turley Brothers Contractors and clearly exhibits a late Art Deco style influence. The building shares some basic similarities with the B.C. Hydro Building (13 Commercial Street) constructed in 1941, the most apparent being the triangular building form. However, this building is much simpler in detail. Although the building form is fundamentally intact, significant changes have been made to its design over the years, including removal of the buildings original metal awnings and the large, bold signage which originally existed on the buildings upper Commercial Street fapde. Other alterations include removal of the door at the tip of the triangle, and remodelling of Name: Gusola Block the original ground floor storefronts located on Commercial Street. Although altered, the building still retains much of its original integrity and along Location: 120 Commercial with the B.C. Hydro Building (1941) and Eagles Hall (1934) forms part of the Downtown core's Art Deco influenced building history.
Date: Circa 1937 The Gusola Block forms part of a significant cluster of heritage buildings located at a prominent intersection on the main downtown thoroughfare, and is an excellent example of a building designed to fit an irregularly shaped lot. The triangular lot was defined by Nanaimo's original topography; until the inner harbour was filled in the 1960s, this lot followed the line of the original waterfront.
City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page I6 .- , . .. . . , -. . Designed by local architect and contractor Daniel Egdell and built in 1922, the Parkin Block is a very good example of the type of vernacular commercial building built in downtown Nanaimo just after the First World War. The building continues the traditional appearance of the Edwardian- era but has a more eclectic fa~adetreatment. Predominantly stucco, the faqade is highlighted by simple brick detailing that outlines the edges of the building and structural elements.
The building was built for John Parkin, a native of Nanaimo, who was born on February 4th, 1867. After clerking in his family's store, he joined the local Fire Department, and within three years he became the City's first Fire Chief. Parkin and his family lived above the Fire Hall, and held family gatherings every Saturday night during which the youngsters used to amuse themselves by sliding down the fireman's pole. Parkin was Fire Chief Name: The Parkin Block for forty years. In 1937, at the age of 70, he directed the fight against one of Downtown's largest fires.

Built in 1898 to replace an earlier building at this site, the Johnston Block is a very good example of a simple, vernacular commercial building. The two storey rear portion of the building has a stone foundation and hip roof. The interior of the one storey front portions retains the original pressed tin - ceiling. The exterior has been stuccoed but the foundation is still visible at the side and rear and is a rare local example of early stone construction. Illustrating Nanaimo's early commercial development, the A.R. Johnston Block is one of very few pre-1900 buildings still standing. The building was part of a complex that included a store, warehouse and wharf and originally backed onto Nanaimo's now infilled inner harbour. The siting underlines the historic importance of harbour access and water transportation to early merchants operating in isolated Nanaimo.

City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page I7 The Modern Cafe neon sign, erected in the mid-1940s, is a rare surviving example of the type of signage that proliferated in downtown Nanaimo from the 1940s until the 1980s. Recently refurbished, the sign is a well loved and highly visible landmark.
Located on Nanaimo's main downtown thoroughfare, the Modern Cafe Building forms part of a significant cluster of heritage buildings located at the intersection of Church, Chapel and Commercial Streets.
The Modern Cafe Building is significant because of its association with A.E. Planta, a long-time local businessman, politician and Canadian Senator. Planta was a Nanaimo alderman for eight terms, mayor for eight terms, school trustee for many years and also president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities for two years. He was appointed to the Senate in 1927. Planta Park in the Hammond Bay area of the City is named for the family.

Date: 1893 (fapde rebuilt The Free Press Building is an excellent example of the stylistic evolution of a building over time. Originally built in the Victorian ltalianate style, the building was significantly altered in 1956 as a result of an earlier fire. Many of the elements of the original elaborate fa~ade,including the brickwork and arched window openings, can still be seen on the building's rear and side elevations. The newer international style faqade reflects a contemporary desire to appear modern and progressive, an appropriate choice for a news organization.

The business was based on the founding of iron and brass, but by 1904 they were advertising themselves as "Builders of Logging Locomotives", and were listed among the prominent business firms of Nanaimo.
The Nanaimo Foundry building represents a rare tangible link with Nanaimo's industrial heritage. Very little physical evidence remains to indicate the historic presence in this area of such heavy industries as coal mining, sawmilling and the manufacture of heavy equipment and machinery. This part of the waterfront has been converted to recreational uses and the Foundry building is the sole reminder of what was once a distinct waterfront industrial zone.
lodges, this style, with its emphasis on simplicity, use of natural materials and sympathy with the landscape, was particularly appropriate for the Boy Scouts whose basic principles include self-reliance and respect for the integrity of the natural world. Although the building has been altered over time, its form is essentially intact and it continues to serve the purpose for which it was built.
Located on a high rocky outcrop in a municipal park, the building is a highly visible symbol of the scouting movement in Nanaimo and, by extension, the continuing importance of local organizations to the vitality and richness of community life.

The first known owner of the property was Nathaniel Williams, who appears to have lived here as early as 1893, but he is not listed as resident after 1910. Based on the style of the house, it is assumed that it was built just after Williams sold the property. Location: 467 Eighth Street This property was acquired from Angus McKenzie by Captain Peter M. Land in 1888. Land, a master mariner, is listed as living here the following year; the house was either built at this time, or at a slightly later point during Land's ownership. Cavalsky was born in Denmark, and came to Victoria in 1880, where he lived for six years, employed on the coast boats. In 1886 he moved to Location: 84 Esplanade Nanaimo, and opened a grocery business, and after a varied career, went into insurance and accounting. Cavalsky served on Nanaimo City Council for 17 different terms, starting in 1908; he also joined the fire department in 1888, becoming the secretary in 1895. Cavalsky married Laura Gilbert in 1887 - she had arrived in Nanaimo with her family in 1874. By the time of their Golden Anniversary in 1937, they were considered "one of Nanaimo's best known and most beloved pioneer couples". Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Louis Stark made his way to California and eventually to Vancouver Island. As a black man, Stark was seeking a place where he and his family could live as free people. He eventually established a farm in Chase River in the 1870s. Stark is credited with developing what is now known as the Stark apple. His daughter, Emily, was the first teacher at North Cedar School, a significant achievement for a black woman in lgthcentury British Columbia. Louis Stark was murdered in 1895. It is speculated that Stark, who had significant coal measures on his property, was murdered so that others could acquire clear access to this coal. This small barn is an excellent example of an early agricultural building and one of the last visible reminders of the area's farming heritage. -Name: Stark's Barn The building is located amidst mature vegetation on a large lot in a compatible rural use area, and is prominently viewed from both Extension Road Location: 1526 Extension and the abutting Chase River School. Road -Date: Circa 1880 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 21 The Western Fuel Company House #24 is a direct link with Nanaimo's coal mining history, the city's primary industry for almost 100 years. The Western Fuel Company, successor to the Hudson's Bay and Vancouver Coal Mining and Land companies, was Nanaimo's single largest employer from 1903 to the end of the 1930s. During the Western Fuel Company period, miners experienced tremendous change including mine mechanization, bitter labour conflicts, including the infamous 1912-14 strike and, eventually, the decline of the industry and the loss of their livelihoods. Rebuilt in 1916 from an old house on the site, the Western Fuel Company House is a rare and very good example of company housing. Although it is known that the company built a number of houses, very few have been identified. No company housing built after this residence is known to exist. Name: Western Fuel Company The expensive features of this house suggest that it was intended for a managerial or supervisory employee. The house features a very unusual House #24 cross gambrel roof and cross hip dormers, an open front verandah supported on square columns; decorative elements include bevelled glass in the Location: 71 5 Farquhar Street front door and sidelights, and a cross-leaded feature window. -Date: Pre-I908; Rebuilt 1916 Built in 1913, the Provincial Government Mine Rescue Station is a good example of a vernacular, utilitarian building and one of the oldest known local uses of corrugated iron cladding. The building is exceptionally important as a rare, direct link to Nanaimo's coal mining industry, the most important economic activity for almost 100 years. Nanaimo's coalmines were among the most dangerous in the world with over 2000 injuries and fatalities recorded during the coalmining era. During this period, from the early 1850s to the early 1950s, the threat of mining disasters was always present and mining conditions were the source of repeated labour conflicts and community disruptions. Although accidents could never be completely prevented, Mine Rescue Station operations did much to improve the situation by providing practical training and communicating provincial-level commitment to the community. -Name: Provincial Government Mine Rescue Station The Station's value resides in its location in one of the City's oldest mixed-use neigbhourhoods, adjacent to the former site of one of the largest coal Location: 1009 Farquhar mining complexes in British Columbia history (the No. 1 Mine). Street Date: 1913 Ernest Ranger established his shoe repair business at 312 Fitzwilliam Street in 1920. G.A. Moore opened an auto upholstery business at 310 Fitzwilliam Street at the same time. Both businesses operated for over 20 years from these buildings. In the 1950s, Bayliss Neon Signs, a Victoria company, established a branch office at 310 Fitzwilliam Street. These buildings are a very good example of the simple commercial buildings commonly built between W.W.I. and II. The unique elements of these buildings are their plain parapet or false front storefronts, small size and close proximity to each other. Over the years changes have been made to the building roofs, storefronts, and windows. At some point stucco was placed over the storefronts original wood siding, although the building's rear and side are fundamentally untouched. The buildings are good representatives of small scale, wooden commercial buildings that were once common in Nanaimo. -Name: Ranger's Shoes Location: 306-314 Fitzwilliam The buildings form part of the Fitzwilliam Street commercial building grouping and are a prominent part of the historic Fitzwilliam Street streetscape. Street Construction Date: 1920 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 22 Built in 1893, St. Andrew's United Church is a good example of Late Victorian church architecture. The church follows the square floor plan with second floor horseshoe gallery typical of Late Victorian Presbyterian churches, its original denomination. A large hall at the rear, built in 1927, features a two-storey auditorium with a balcony. The church retains much of its original character despite some later alterations, most notably a stucco finish over the original brick walls. Still in use, the Church represents the historic and continuing spiritual, social and cultural importance of the building to Nanaimo. In addition to church services, the building has long hosted community events such as concerts and festivals. St. Andrew's United Church is significant because of its association with the historic national merger of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches in 1925 and it speaks to the historic and continuing complex and often divisive religious issues that confront communities. In Nanaimo, the merger was controversial. A large proportion of Presbyterians voted against union and the subsequent legal battle over the division of the property was the only union litigation case in British Columbia. Name: St. Andrew's St. Andrew's United Church is also significant because of its association with American architect Warren H. Hayes, a specialist in church design who Presbyterian Church St. is credited with the development of the diagonal auditorium form. He designed a number of buildings throughout the United States including the Andrew's United Church Scottish Rite Temple in Minneapolis and Central Presbyterian Church in St. Paul, Minnesota and is known to have provided the plans for at least two Location: 315 Fitzwilliam churches in Canada. Street The manse, rock wall, landscaped grounds and attached hall all have a historic and physical relationship to the church and are an essential part of Construction Date: 1893 the site's value. (Church Hall: 1927) The church's tall bell tower and substantial mass dominate this corner of Fitzwilliam Street and make the building a highly visible historic landmark. Built in 1910, the S&W Apartment Block is a very good example of an Edwardian era apartment-type commercial building. Its restrained appearance and simple massing set the tone for the architectural aesthetic in this neigbhourhood and the form of the streefs development as a commercial strip. The building remains substantially intact. The S&W Apartment Block, Nanaimo's first known apartment building, is significant because it represents the introduction of a new housing form in the city. Until its construction, housing forms consisted of single-family homes, boarding houses, dormitories or hotels. The construction of this commercial building with its self-contained apartment units on the second floor spurred the development of similar buildings in the area and signalled Nanaimo's move towards more sophisticated, urban housing options. The ground-level shops have housed a variety of businesses over the years, including the Farmer's Market, and Perry & McGarrigle's Meats. Hyman Name: S&W Apartments Angel also had his Second Hand Goods business here until he built his own building at 426 Fitzwilliam Street. Several prominent businessmen made Location: 403-409 Fitzwilliam their residences in the apartments above, such as George Grigor, of Grigor's Dry Goods, and N.E. Carter, of the Sprott-Shaw Business Institute. The Street stores and apartments remain in full use today. -Date: 1910 In order to design the building, owner T.J. Stephen engaged the services of William Arthur Owen, one of Nanaimo's early professional architects. Owen was born in Swansea, South Wales in 1881, and left England in 1904 due to 'tubercular trouble'; he practiced in Nanaimo from 1911 until 1914, after which he served as City Engineer for three years.

Zorkin later developed other areas of Nanaimo and properties at French Creek and Columbia Beach in the Parksville 1 Qualicum area. Zorkin is also significant for his role in the publication of the Vancouver Island-based Croatian Voice newspaper. Zorkin used the pro-Croatian newspaper as a platform to advocate for The Zorkin Building is part of a grouping of similarly scaled historic commercial buildings on the north side of this city block. The Angell's Trading Building is significant because of its association with prominent local contractor and designer Alexander Forrester. Typical of many men of his time, Forrester, in addition to his busy construction business, was very active in civic affairs, serving both as alderman and school trustee for many years. Forrester was born in Kingskettle, Fifeshire, Scotland, and came to the city in 1891. Location: 426 Fitzwilliam lower floor was a service and work area while the second floor provided a residence for the original owner. Although the building has been renovated over the years, its essential form remains intact. The Central Dairy building is an integral part of a significant grouping of historic commercial buildings on this street. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 25 The Occidental Hotel's value resides in its role as a gateway building. Located at a prominent intersection, the building marks the western entrance to one of Nanaimo's oldest commercial areas. The angled corner entry mirrors the entry on the building directly across the street and creates a visual funnel, reinforcing the impression of entering a new and distinct space. Tall, imposing and located at a prominent intersection, the Occidental Hotel is a highly visible landmark. Built in 1886, the Occidental Hotel is very good example of Victorian ltalianate architecture, one of the most popular 19th century styles in North America for a wide variety of building types, from houses and small apartment buildings, to commercial and institutional structures. The Occidental Hotel features the vertical proportions and tall, rounded windows and doors typical of this style. Name: Occidental Hotel The Occidental Hotel is significant because of its association with prominent Victoria architect John Teague, who came to Victoria in 1862 as an Location: 432 Fitzwilliam engineer for the Royal Navy at Esquimalt. After designing some of the navy buildings, he went into private practice, designing a wide variety of Street buildings, from hospitals and churches to business blocks and private homes. Remarkably prolific, Teague designed over 350 buildings and greatly -Date: 1886-1887 influenced the character of early architecture in Victoria. His buildings include Victoria City Hall, the Freemason's Meeting Hall, the East Block of St. Ann's Academy, Scholefield House and the Church of Our Lord. The substantial and handsome Occidental Hotel speaks to the mood of prosperity and possibility prevalent in the 1880s by the completion of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway and the expansion of the huge No. 1 Coal Mine. Located one block from the train station, the Occidental Hotel was the first business to take advantage of the opportunities the nearby train station provided. Over time, other businesses were established and the area eventually became an important secondary retail district within a predominantly residential neighbourhood. The Occidental Hotel has been in continuous use as an eating and drinking establishment for over 100 years. Built in 1916, the Rawlinson & Glaholm building is a very good example of a modest, elegant Edwardian era Commercial building. The building's size is in keeping with the pedestrian scale of this mixed residential and commercial area. The building was designed by architect E. J. Bresemann, who with partner Durfee, also designed Victoria's First Congregational Church and St. James Hotel and Nanaimo's Commercial Hotel. The Rawlinson & Glaholm Building's value resides in its role as a gateway building. Located at a prominent intersection, the building marks the western entrance to one of Nanaimo's oldest commercial areas. The angled corner entry mirrors the entry on the building directly across the street and creates a visual funnel, reinforcing the impression of entering a new and distinct space. -Name: Rawlinson & Glaholm Grocers Location: 437 Fitzwilliam Street -Date: 1916 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 26 The Vancouver Island Regional Library is a very good example of West Coast vernacular style. Developed after World War 2, this regional style typically used post and beam construction which allowed for greater freedom in the positioning of windows and partitions than did standard stud construction. The style's modern ambience was appropriate for new institutional buildings such as libraries. The Vancouver lsland Regional Library is significant for its association with the architectural firm of McArravy and Barley. One of the pioneers of the use of modernism on Vancouver Island, Thomas McArravy was Nanaimo's most prominent architect for many years. His best known work is the Nanaimo City Hall. McArravy later partnered with Les Barley and the firm designed a number of local landmarks including the Salvation Army Building and the Nanaimo District Senior Secondary School. After McArravy retired, Barley partnered with Weismiller and designed the Bowen Park Complex, the Nanaimo District Museum and many other institutional buildings throughout the mid-island area. The Vancouver Island Regional Library speaks to the municipal government's earliest attempt to streamline community services for efficiency and easy public access. By the mid-1960s, the police station, health unit, library and fire hall were all located in what was historically known as Lubbock Square, just outside the downtown core. Although some of these services have since moved to other locations, including the library, the remaining buildings, including the police station and fire hall, are tangible reminders of the area's early importance as a central location for most of the City's protective and community services. The Shaw Residence is a good example of a building that takes full advantage of its hillside site. Located at the crest of a long, gentle slope that rises from the harbour, the building's east facing windows provide views of the harbour and distant mountains while the front entry faces a less attractive view of the street. Name: Shaw Residence The Shaw Residence is part of a significant cluster of exceptionally intact and well maintained historic buildings in this neighbourhood. Location: 81 5 Fitzwilliam -Date: 1910 Built in 1910, for George Beattie, owner of Beattie and Hopkins Printers, the Beattie Residence is a sophisticated and unusual example of an Edwardian-era Craftsman style bungalow. The building features many of the hallmarks of this style including its long and low proportions, double hung wooden-sash windows, front gable roof, inset verandah, squared chambered columns, exposed farter ends and triangular eave brackets. The building also has some unusual design elements including its tapered concrete foundation wall and an inset corner verandah without a supporting corner column. These eccentric features set the Beattie Residence apart from other Craftsman residences in the city. The Beattie Residence is significant as an example of the type of superior housing, both in design and construction, that typifies this neighbourhood. By the turn of the 2oth century, this area was established as a middle to upper income residential neighbourhood a comfortable distance from the Name: Beattie Residence busy commercial core and adjacent mixed-use neighbourhoods. Location: 825 Fitzwilliam Street -Date: 1910 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 27 Reserve Mine in the 1920s. In excellent condition, this building is a very good example of a vernacular workers cottage of which few examples remain. The building has a side gable roof typical of this housing form, with extended back addition and a front porch running the buildings entire width. Gingerbread detailing is a recent addition and not typical of buildings from this period which tended to be utilitarian in appearance. The building is located on a corner lot and is sited prominently on Fourteenth Street. It represents a rare surviving example of the early miner's cottage building form still located on its original site. Location: 18 Fourteenth Street The Fourth Street Store Building is an excellent example of a simple, vernacular Boomtown or False-Front style structure. The false front facade increased the apparent size of the building and provided ample space for a large painted sign while the large windows at the ground level provided a showcase for goods display. the street make it a neighbourhood landmark. Built around 1898 for Morgan and Harriet Harris, the Harris Residence is a striking and rare surviving example of the exuberant Queen Anne Revival architectural style. The asymmetrical massing, high hip roof and the rich but simple ornamentation found on this house are characteristic of the style. This charming house is the exception to the rule of generally plain building stock in Nanaimo. This building has survived in virtually original condition and this is also unusual in Nanaimo where this type of heavily ornamented house has generally undergone such substantial renovation that the original style elements are barely discernible. The Harris Residence's value resides lies in its location on a highly visible corner lot as part of a continuous line of substantially intact historic buildings on the south side of this city block. -Name: Harris Residence Location: 375 Street Morgan Harris was a miner, and had previously lived on Fry Street. The land that this house was built on was originally owned by Arthur Bullock, and was not subdivided until 1892. This would have been one of the earliest residences in the area. m:1898 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page 28 The Franklyn Street Gymnasium has been in continuous use as a gymnasium and auditorium since 1922. Although the school that the gymnasium and auditorium once serviced is no longer standing, the building continues to function as a gymnasium and neighbourhood community centre. Built in 1922, the Franklyn Street Gymnasium and Auditorium is a good example of a utilitarian, institutional building with some Classical Revival elements.

Name: McCourt Residence Location: 750 Franklyn Street Date: Circa 1901 This building formed part of a group of automotive dealerships and parts supply houses that began to line Front Street in the 1920s and 30s. Prior to Nanaimo Motors locating here the site was occupied by Sampson Motors and Dier-Shaw Motors. Nanaimo Motors Ltd., under the management of N.T. Corfield, constructed a service garage on this site in 1924. This building was designed by Douglas James, an architect based in Duncan. A major renovation and addition was completed in 1948. This renovation, designed by Eric C. Clarkson, a Victoria architect resulted in the existing building, which is a good example of the late streamline moderne style. The three storey rear faGade of the building facing out into the harbour has remained relatively unchanged from the 1924 design. Similar to the adjoining Tom Brown Auto Body building, the front fa~adeof this building also featured poured-in-place concrete with cast concrete column details. The original fa~adeof the building has been obscured by unsympathetic alterations over the years, including the use of antique brick and wooden siding, as well as alterations -Name: Nanaimo Motors to the storefront. Location: 20 Front Street Date: 1924 (renovated 1948) This building forms a prominent part of the Front Street heritage grouping, and is representative of the continuing development in the 1920s and 30s of automotive service related buildings on Front Street. This area was effectively Nanaimo's first "automobile strip". City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 29 windows, it retains much of its original character. The Globe Hotel is significant because of its association with two prominent Nanaimo architects.

Typical of many men of his time, Forrester, in addition to his construction business, was Location: 25 Front Street rovided an affordable housing option for the many single men that came to the City to work in the coalmines. Built in 1937, Tom Brown's Autobody building is an excellent and rare example of Streamline Moderne style in Nanaimo. This modest structure shows the influence of the new discipline of Industrial Design at a time when the automobile was becoming increasingly important in North America. The horizontal lines and detailing of this building echo the streamlining bands found on most manufactured objects during the 1930s. The building's setback from the street provides an important function by allowing ample parking space in the front. Except for a few minor changes to the Location: 28 Front Street storefront, the building is very intact. Tom Brown's Autobody building is also significant for its association with Thomas McArravy, Nanaimo's most prominent mid-century architect. McArravy was responsible for a number of important Modern buildings, most notably City Hall. Tom Brown's Autobody building is part of a grouping of historic buildings located on the only downtown thoroughfare that runs parallel to the waterfront.

Although the area was surveyed before the end of the 191h century, it remained sparsely settled until after the end of the Second World War. Until that time, most of the properties in this area were small-scale farms that supplied local markets. Today, surrounded predominantly by post are tract housing, the Girvin Road Residence is a rare reminder of the neighbourhood's original character and function. Building in 1912, the Girvin Road Residence is a very good example of an Edwardian bungalow. The building displays many of the features typical Location: 797 Girvin Road Although the house has been renovated and now features a new roof, modern siding and a small porch at the rear, it remains a good example of early, vernacular worker's housing typical of this Nanaimo neighbourhood. Name: JoneslBevilockway Location: 55 Haliburton Street This building is one of the earliest surviving examples of a vernacular workers cottage (or miners' cottage) located in Nanaimo. This residence retains the basic form of a miner's cottage with a side gable roof, extended back addition and front porch typical of the housing form. Located prominently to Haliburton Street this is a relatively intact reminder of the type of housing that once dotted this area of Nanaimo and provided housing for the miners' and their families. Location: 111 Haliburton Street Date: Circa 1875 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 33 Haliburton Street from Michael Manson, but hired someone to manage it until 1888 when he took over management full time. He operated the store for over 40 years. Lawrence Manson died in 1944. Business was conducted for several years after Lawrence's death under the name "Manson's Store." In the 1970s, many of the interior fixtures were sold to Barkerville for historic display purposes. The attached residence (240 Haliburton Street), a late Victorian cottage, was built at least as early as 1893. Located on a corner lot, this is a very good example of the type of early commercial buildings constructed outside Nanaimo's downtown core. It is Name: Manson's Store & also one of the few surviving commercial buildings located along Haliburton Street. In relatively poor condition, the basic form of the building has Date: Circa 1876 The Rowe Residence is significant for its association wit the Malpass family. This house was built for Mary Ann Malpass Blundell Rowe, the daughter of John and Lavinia Malpass. The Malpass' arrived in Nanaimo in 1954 after a lengthy voyage from England aboard the barque Princess Royal. Although there were settlers here before the arrival of the Princess Royal families, the latter are typically celebrated in an annual public ceremony that marks their historic arrival. Mary Ann eventually sold the business to her nephew James Malpass, who renamed it Malpass & Wilson, thus reinforcing the association with the original Malpass family. Name: Rowe Residence Q&: circa 1906 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 34 'Built in 1891 as a branch of the Wallace Street Methodist Sunday School, it owes its origins to the enterprise and foresight of a former pastor of the Wallace Street Church, Rev. W.W. Bauer... As a preaching appointment it first appears on the Wallace Street Plan of January 1892. In 1893 it was separated from the Wallace Street circuit and organized as a separate circuit with a minister of its own. It was a bold stroke to take, when it was considered that only about 20 members and these transfers from the Wallace Street circuit. The first Board of Trustees consisted of James Lister, H. Streighthorst, E. Devlin, E. Rogers, T. Miles, T. Bryant. These assumed responsibility for a debt of $1,000 which rested on the building; this was, however, soon liquidated.'

In the year 1894 it was -Name: Haliburton Street found necessary owing to the large congregation, to enlarge the church to its present capacity. This was done at an outlay of about $1,800, and Methodist Church made provision for the seating of a choir, an enlarged auditorium, and two large classrooms in the rear. The acoustic properties are excellent and the Location: 602 Haliburton Street present pastor, Rev. Wrn. R. Welch, is now completing the first year of his pastorate, preaching every Sabbath to eager congregations. His ministry -Date: 1891, Enlarged 1894 is full of promise for the spiritual needs of the large population of the locality.' (Nanaimo Free Press, Golden Jubilee Edition, 1874-1924). In an 1894 enlargement, the width of the church was extended about ten feet on each side, and an altar added. The first parsonage for the church was on Victoria Road. In 1898 Samuel Robins, General Manager of the Vancouver Coal Company, advised the Trustees to buy the property adjacent to the church, and in 1912 a new manse was built. In 1935, when the Wallace Street Church was being dismantled, the stones were purchased, and a stone wall erected around the Haliburton Street property; the $400 cost was raised by the Ladies' Circle. In 1903, continuing labour difficulties cause the Federal Department of Labour to send the Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King, then Minister of Labour, to Nanaimo to investigate working conditions, and settle a labour dispute. He delivered a sermon at the Haliburton Methodist Church entitled 'The Young Man of Nazareth'. The building is a very good example of late Victorian Eclectic architecture and is one of the oldest surviving church buildings in Nanaimo. The picturesque massing typical of this style is demonstrated in the asymmetrical, gable roofed towers. Although there have been some changes to the original building, it's essential form is still intact. The Haliburton Street Methodist Church's tall towers, large mass and location on a main street, in a predominantly residential area, make it a highly prominent neighbourhood landmark. The Church is an excellent example of the adaptive re-use of a building. When the congregation dwindled and the building was no longer viable as a church, it was successfully converted to accommodate a variety of community uses. The building's corner location on the main thoroughfare of this neighbourhood makes it a prominent landmark in one of the city's oldest Name: Hayes Residence Location: 703 Haliburton Street Date: Circa 1920 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 35 roup. In the mid-1920's, the Biological Board of Canada (later to be known as the Fisheries Research Board of Canada) became directly involved n fisheries research. Year-round permanent scientific staff was hired and the facilities were improved. The end of World War II brought about major changes; staff and research programs grew steadily and rapidly. Over the years, additional buildings have been constructed to meet the expanding research needs of staff. Built around 1890 as servant's quarters for John Hunt, Robert Dunsmuir's mine manager, the Hunt Estate Cottage is a very good example of late Victorian Cottage style architecture. Although modest in size, this symmetrical cottage was enhanced with decorative panels of vertical and diagonal siding in framed insets and superior leaded windows. The surround grounds, including an exceptionally large Douglas Fir tree and other specimen trees, reinforce the estate's ambience and are an important port of the site's value. The Hunt Estate Cottage's location on the top of a ridge, parallel to a main highway and overlooking the harbour makes it a highly visible neighbourhood landmark. Location: 925 Harbour View Date: Circa 1890 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page 36 logger, he setup a tailor shop on Haliburton Street and by 1917 had moved the shop to 123 Commercial Street. The business would later evolve into a successful clothing store which was operated continuously until his death in 1978. The store was demolished in 1987 and replaced by the new building currently occupied by Charlie's Restaurant. This modernistic residence has many design characteristics influenced by the streamline moderne style. These include a horizontal building form, stucco surfaces, corner windows, and a unique curved roof entry portico. Built in 1948, this building is comparable to other modernistic residences of this era, including the Burns Residence at 755 Terminal Avenue North and the Giovando Residence at 225 Newcastle Avenue. Although a late addition, this building formed part of the Third Chinatown grouping, and is one of the few remaining residences in this area from this Built in 1914, Harewood School is a very good example of a Classical Period Revival style building and the only remaining school of this style in the Nanaimo area. This tall building, with its banks of symmetrical windows, its classical ornamentation and its overall austere appearance successfully suggests authority and regimentation, concepts that were contemporarily linked to good education. The building is a very good example of a vernacular late-Victorian cottage with ltalianate influences. The simple rectangle form has been embellished with ltalianate style bays at the front and side. Although there have been changes to the building over time, most notably the application of modern reproduction "fish scale" shingles and wood siding over the original shingles, the essential character of the building is intact and it is very well maintained. Location: 12 Itwin Street City of Nanairno Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page 37 This small brick house is a highly unusual variation of early miners housing - it is the only such early brick house known to have survived. Interestingly, East Wellington was a brick and tile manufacturing area, but brick was seldom used in residential work. Set on a large lot at the corner of Addison Road, the property was used as farm land. The original portion of the house is very modest, with an offset front entry, and segmental arched window and door openings. An early frame addition and concrete milk house were attached at the rear, prior to its relocation to the opposite side of Jingle Pot Road (now Third Street). The house was acquired by the Specogna Family in the 1920's and remained in their possession until 1999, at which time the house and property were sold to the City to accommodate the Third Street road realignment. The original house was moved across Jingle Pot Road and restored. It is now used as an interpretive centre for Buttertubs Marsh and the area's early settlement history. Name: Brick Cottage Location: 1904 Jingle Pot Date: Circa 1910-1912 The Our Lady of Good Counsel roman Catholic Church building is an excellent example of a community project. Built by volunteer labour, under the supervision and to the plans of parishioner Joseph Myette, the building typifies the once common methods and means of construction of public buildings in smaller communities where funding was not available for either professional plans or paid labour. Name: Our Lady of Good The Church building is significant as an example of building preservation. Originally located in Lantzville, just north of Nanaimo, the building was Counsel Roman Catholic moved to its current location and maintained in mostly original condition, including much of the interior.

Typically, ranchers had low pitched roofs which emphasized the form's horizontality, broad central chimneys without ornamentation, corner windows and large "picture" windows that were the centrepieces of the main rooms of the house. The suburban ranch style was the favored design in suburban tract developments from the late 1940s into the 1970s. For this reason, this house's downtown, old city location is unusual. John Freethy was a clerk at Spencer's Store. Name: Freethy Residence Location: 304 Kennedy Street river rock foundation, Classical style porch columns and Edwardian era vertical proportions of the building are evidence of this trend. The building is further distinguished by a two-storey high rounded turret on the front faqade, stained glass window panels and sidelights and a roofed second floor The Wilkinson Residence's corner location and height and mass make it a highly visible neighbourhood landmark.

It was most likely built around 1904 by Joseph Dykes, a miner; by 1909 Dykes was listed as a 'bratticeman', responsible for timber bracing at the mines. The house is substantially intact, except for the recent application of vinyl siding over the original cladding. m:Dykes Residence -oration: 639 Kennedy Street )ate: 1904 Built in 1913, the Layer-Hall Residence is an excellent example of an Edwardian building with Foursquare and Craftsman influences. The Four square's box plan made it economical and practical to build and the simple design typifies restrained, Edwardian elegance. The Layer-Hall Residence's basic box plan is embellished with Craftsman details including large eave brackets and leaded and stained glass wooden sash casement windows. Although a rear addition alters the original square configuration, the building is substantially intact. The Layer-Hall Residence is significant for its association with Dr. G.A.B. Hall. The long-time physician and surgeon to the Western Fuel Company miners, Hall had a lengthy history of community service, including a term as Mayor from 1930-31.

Born in Ontario, Hall graduated in dentistry from the Philadelphia Dental College and operated an office in Nanaimo from 1980-1893. He then went to Stanford University and received a diploma in medicine. For 13 years, he practiced medicine in Nelson, B.C. In Nelson, Hall served nine years as the president of the school board, one year on the City council, and three years as an MLA. Returning to the coast, Hall was hired as the physician and surgeon to the Western Fuel Company miners. Sited in the middle of a street lined with lower buildings, the two-storey Layer-Hall Residence is a prominent neighbourhood landmark, overlooking a municipal park. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 41 The Rowbottom Residence, part of a grouping of superior heritage buildings, speaks to the neighbourhoods' early status as a prestigious residential area. By the turn of the 2oth century, Nanaimo's entrepreneurial and professional classes were moving to areas west and north of the original town site. This movement was largely spurred by the development of the huge No. 1 Coal Mine in what was once a predominantly residential area on the The house was built for Francis (Frank) Rowbottom Jr. The Rowbottoms emigrated from their native England in the mid-1880s. Francis Sr. initially worked as a miner but eventually purchased the Union Bakery on Bastion Street. Later, the business moved to the Northwest corner of Fitzwilliam and Milton Streets. As a young man, Frank Jr. was a live-in apprentice baker at Smith & Hague's Excelsior Bakery. After his father's death in 1897, Frank Jr. worked with his mother and brothers at the family bakery. The bakery was sold to the Shelley Brothers Bakery in 1918. The Nanaimo Hospital building represents the City's complex history of medical services and speaks to the on-going challenge of providing adequate facilities for an ever-expanding population. The first hospital was opened in 1877 in a row of miner's cabins. In 1881, a large new purpose- Name: Nanaimo Hospital (now built hospital was opened on this site. Continued population growth dictated the construction of this new building in 1925. Construction was delayed Malaspina Lodge) by lack of finances and it was not officially opened until three years later. The north wing, although part of the original design, was not completed Location: 388 Machleary St. until 1942 because of funding problems. In 1962, a new hospital was opened at another site. The Nanaimo Hospital Building has since been -Date: 1925-1928 adapted for other uses. The Nanaimo Hospital is significant for its association with Alexander Ernest Henderson, best known, in partnership with George W. Grant, for the design of the Vancouver City Hospital (now known as the Heather Pavilion) of Vancouver General Hospital in 1903. Locally, Henderson also designed the Freemason's Ashlar Lodge. The Nanaimo Hospital building is prominently located at the brow of a long, gentle slope that rises from the waterfront. It's height and mass, especially in relation to the much smaller buildings adjacent to it, make the building a highly visible landmark.

The mature landscaping provides an appropriate setting, and features a large Walnut tree. Location: 408 Millstone Road Date: Circa 1912 Arthur Newbury first appears in local records in 1909 as a miner for the Western Fuel Company. In 1921, he received his 1"' Class Certificate of Competency, a requirement to become a coal mine official. From 1921 - 1926, he managed the Harewood Mine and from 1927-1935, he was the manager of the No.1 Mine. Around 1937, he moved to 103 Milton Street where he lived until his death in 1952 at the age of 67. Built by local contractor Levi Chester Young, the Young-Pargeter Residence was acquired in 1913 by James T. Pargeter, an auto mechanic and later, engineer for the Canadian Western Fuel Company. Born in England in 1862, James arrived in British Columbia in 1876. He married Sarah Lee in 1893. James did not live in this house and it is likely it was built as an investment property. James appears to have lived in Five Acres (now Harewood) for most of his life. The building is part of a significant concentration of heritage buildings located in one of the City's oldest neighbourhoods, immediately adjacent to the downtown core. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page 44 shaped plan has an overall restrained appearance that is enriched by carpenter ornamentation including scroll-cut eave brackets and contrasting tongue-and-groove in detailing in the front gable and along the eave lines. A major rear addition in the 1970s does not significantly impact the overall appearance of the house. The Wilton-Welch Residence is significant as the site of Nanaimo's largest identified Catalpa Tree, commonly referred to as an Indian Bean Tree after its prominent seed pods. The tree's great height and mass and it's location at the front property line make this site a very prominent neighbourhood landmark. Name: WiltonNVelch The residence is part of a grouping of significant heritage buildings in this section of one of Nanaimo's oldest neighbourhoods. Location: 129 Milton Street Sarah and Alfred Wilton acquired this property in 1902, and the house is believed to have been built in 1903. Albert and lsabella Welch and their children arrived in Nanaimo in 1908. Albert purchased a farm in the Wellington area, raised animals for the fur trade and opened a feed business in Nanaimo, originally sited opposite the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway station. This site was later exchanged by the Railway Company for another lot further down Selby Street located near the Railway tracks. Around 1912, the Brackman-Kerr Milling Company bought out his feed business. Albert and his youngest son Lance opened the Welch &Welch Confectionery at the corner of Bastion and Skinner Streets. Later, they moved the business a few feet East on Bastion Street into one of the storefronts of a more modern brick building by the Commercial Hotel. .Lance died in 1921 and Albert sold the business shortly after. Albert continued to raise animals for the fur trade at the Wellington farm but lived in the City at 129 Milton Street. The fur trade failed in the Depression years and Albert decided to retire. During the late 1920s, he served on the City Council and was the Police Commissioner for a time. After Isabella's death in 1939, Albert moved to Lethbridge, Alberta and lived with his son Albert V.E. Welch. The house remained in the family. Albert returned home to Nanaimo in 1947 and lived with his daughter Jaunita and her family until his death in 1953. For many years this was the residence of the Wood family. Sarah Ann Wilcox was widowed on May 22, 1891, when her husband John, the co-owner of the Commercial Hotel, died. She later married William A. Wood, Nanaimo Station Master. Wood had come to British Columbia in 1882 to represent the Dominion Government when it loaned equipment to build the C.P.R. William Wood died in 1934; Sarah lived in the house until her death at the age of 90 in 1954. The exact date of construction of this house is unknown, as early Assessment Records record only land value, not the amount of improvements. It is known, however, that John Wilcox lived at this address at the corner of Milton and Wentworth Streets before he died. The charming Late Victorian cottage appears to date from approximately 1896. This was the era when steam-driven band saws allowed for the extensive use of scroll-cut carpenter ornamentation, of which this house is a splendid example. In addition to intricate eave brackets, there is an elaborate balustrade with shaped handrails, carved newel posts, and turned columns. Name: Wood Residence Location: 133 Milton Street City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 45 Built around 1902, the Ledingham Residence is a very good example of vernacular, transitional style -from Late Victorian carpenter ornamentation to Edwardian symmetry and boxiness. The building displays some unusual features. The symmetrical massing is emphasized by twin projecting front bays on the ground floor that are joined by a continuous hip roof to form a covered porch over the central front entry. Decorative fish-scale shingling is used in the front gable. The Ledingham Residence is significant as one of a few surviving historic buildings in this immediate area that recalls it's early identity as a prestigious residential neighbourhood. Over time, other single-family residences in the area were replaced with apartment blocks, multiple-family housing and institutional buildings. Name: Ledingham Residence Location: 347 Milton Street The residence's height and strong and unusual fapde design make it a neighbourhood landmark. -Date: 1902 This Late Victorian cottage is one of the oldest buildings on this street. Its symmetrical massing, central entry and porch, and flanking bays recall a vernacular style from the Southern United States sometimes called 'Piano-Box Victorian'. Under extensive renovation for a number of years by the current owner, its character is being recaptured after a series of drastic renovations. It adds greatly to the ambience of Milton Street, which still maintains much of its Victorian and Edwardian housing stock. Name: -- Location: 434 Milton Street -Date: Circa 1893 The cluster of residential buildings currently on the Robins' Gardens site originally formed part of the Evergreen Auto Court. Robins' Gardens are named after Samuel Robins, the Vancouver Coal Company Mine Superintendent from 1884 to 1903. Robins revitalized the Vancouver Coal Company after years of decline and developed good relationships with labour. Robins was also an avid gardener who collected plant specimens from around the world. In addition to the varied and exotic plantings on this site, Robins planted poplars and holly trees throughout the Harewood area. His 18 room home and grounds, complete with gazebo, fishpond and rose garden, have long since disappeared. In addition to Robins, John Bryden, Mine Manager and son-in-law of Robert Dunsmuir, and Dr. Daniel Cluness, Colliery Surgeon, also built homes here. Before 1900, this area was the "upscale" part of town and featured most of Nanaimo's elegant homes. By 1930, the Western Fuel Corporation owned the entire property and no buildings remained. During WWII, at least 6 auto courts were built in Nanaimo in response to the rising popularity of automobile vacations. Name: Evergreen Auto The Evergreen Auto Court, built by Ole Andrew Buck, is one of the few remaining examples of this form of vacation home in Nanaimo. CourVRobins Gardens Location: 1150 Milton Street The vacation homes in this eclectic grouping are generally intact but in poor condition. Most of the homes are designed in a rustic vernacular style, -Date: 1942 although one appears to have been built with a streamline modern influence. The auto court forms part of the continuing commercial and industrial development in the Esplanade area. The site is significant for the many exotic plant species originally planted here by Samuel M. Robins. The site is also located directly across Milton Street from the old Number One Mine site. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 46 example of a Late Craftsman bungalow, a popular style among Nanaimo's entrepreneurial and professional class during the 1920s. By that time, Newcastle Townsite was firmly established as an exclusive residential suburb. Today, the neighbourhood is a mix of commercial buildings, condominium and apartment complexes and single-family dwellings, but surviving earlier residences such as this building are important evidence of the original character of the area. The Galbraith Residence is part of a significant grouping of heritage buildings in this neighbourhood. Name: Galbraith Residence Location: 164 Mount Benson character of the area. The Van Houten Residence is part of a significant grouping of heritage buildings in this neighbourhood. Name: Van Houten Residence Location: 184 Mount Benson This house was likely built by Hiram Woodward, a carpenter, for his family around 1900. By the 1930s, Victor Harrison had purchased the property. Harrison was a lawyer and also served as mayor of Nanaimo from 1925-26 and from 1938-44. In his role as a "Native Son", he was responsible for the creation of Petroglyph Provincial Park. Harrison was also involved in preserving the Nanaimo Bastion and its historical collections. Harrison is best known, however, for his role in bringing the notorious cult leader Brother XI1 to trial. This simple residence was originally constructed in the late Victorian style popular at the end of the 19'~century. Prominently located in a cluster of older homes facing onto the harbour, the house commands an excellent view of the harbour, Newcastle and Protection Islands, and is a reminder of the Newcastle Townsite's early prominence as an exclusive neighbourhood for Nanaimo's well-to-do. -Name: WoodwardlHarrison Residence Location: 215 Newcastle Avenue -Date: Circa 1900 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page 47 The design of this modernistic house is balanced through the use of single storey wings to each side of a two storey block with a hip roof. A curved second floor balcony with pipe railings covers the inset front entry. The living room window is inset with curved reveals. The site has been beautifully landscaped to complement the house, including planted flower beds, a gracious front lawn, and a large mature cedar tree. The GiovandoNVestwood Residence is associated with two prominent Nanaimoites. The Earle Westwood family lived in the building in the 1950s and 1960s. Descended from one of the area's pioneer families, Westwood was mayor and Nanaimo's representative in the provincial legislature in the late 1950s. The building is also associated with Dr. Larry Giovando who resided here during the 1970s and early 1980s. Giovando was a highly regarded doctor and community leader and twice Nanaimo's representative in the provincial legislature from 1952-1956. The Residence's waterfront location, exceptional condition and its unusual style make it a highly prominent landmark. .225 Newcastle Built in 1893, the Nanaimo Fire Hall No. 2 is a very good example of Victorian ltalianate architecture, one of the most popular 19th century styles. The fortress-like crenellated roofline is particularly appropriate on the fire hall, a widely recognized symbol of protection. The large doors at the front lower level were designed for easy access for the fire company's horses and equipment. Similarly functional, the concrete hose tower, added to the rear of the building in 1914, allowed for the efficient drying of fire hoses. The Nanaimo Fire Hall No. 2 speaks to the continuing growth and maturity of the City. Although a volunteer fire brigade existed before the construction of the Fire Hall, this substantial and expensive building, whose construction costs were raised through subscription, indicates community commitment to efficient, modern service and faith in the City's future. Located on a narrow triangular lot between two main thoroughfares and at a major intersection, the Fire Hall is an important downtown gateway building and a highly visible landmark. Name: Nanaimo Firehall #2 Location: 34 Nicol Street Date: 1893 The Northfield School building is significant as one of few remaining early buildings in an area that, until amalgamation with the City of Nanaimo in 1975, was a distinct community. Originally developed as a coal mining town in the late lgthcentury, Northfield enjoyed a brief resurgence as such in the late 1930s. In addition to coal mining, small-scale farming, dynamite manufacturing and other businesses were developed. Amalgamation and development between separate coal towns eventually blurred the distinctions among them. Northfield School serves as a physical reminder of the area's original development as a distinct community. Built around 1920, the Northfield School is a very good example of Department of Public Works school designs of this era. Typical elements of this style include a central front entry, ground level first floor and banks of windows in the upstairs classrooms. Minor alterations over time have not Name: Northfield School altered the essential form or overall appearance of the building. Location: 2249 Northfield Road -Date: Early 1920s The Northfield School's height, mass and location on a main thoroughfare make it an important neighbourhood landmark. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 48 including low pitched roofs which emphasize the form's horizontality, broad central chimneys without ornamentation, asymmetrical fapde, exposed trusses, attached garage, linear window rows, and brick exterior. The Suburban Ranch style was the favored design in suburban tract developments from the late 1940s into the 1970s. hill that slopes away to the west. An extensive stone wail at the front property line echoes the stone foundation, verandah columns and stair walls. Twin-coursed shingles have been used as cladding, and bevelled glass is used as a decorative feature on the main floor. In 1945 the house was converted to suites under the Housing Conversion Plan, meant to provide additional housing during wartime. The house and site have been well-maintained; the main alterations have been the replacement of some original windows, and the partial enclosure of the front Location: 259 Pine Street Date: Circa 1913 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 49 Built around 1892, the Harrison Residence is a very good example of Late Victorian Eclectic architecture. The picturesque massing of the building reflects the Late Victorian enthusiasm for complex roof lines and decorated surfaces. Although some of the ornate chimneys have been removed and the front entry replaced, the building remains essentially intact. The Harrison Residence is a rare surviving example of the type of prestigious housing that predominated in this area, known as Nob Hill, from its first development around 1870 until around 1910. Here, the city's commercial and professional elite built substantial homes, many of which featured excellent harbour views. By the early 2oth century, Nanaimo's middle class were relocating to areas further north and west, away from the city centre. Today, the neighbourhood is a mix of apartment buildings, boarding houses and single family houses and has lost much of its upscale Name: Harrison Residence character, but surviving early residences, such as this building, testify to the original nature of the area. Location: 546 Prideaux The residence is associated with a succession of prominent Nanaimo citizens. Built for Judge Eli Harrison, the house was subsequently owned by the Honourable Dr. R.E. McKechnie (Member of the Provincial Parliament, President of the Provincial Executive Council and doctor for the Coal Company), Dr. James Hogle who operated a ladies hospital from the house and much later, by Shelby Saunders, a prominent businessman and real estate developer, who opened the Pygmy Pavilion as a dance hall. The hall was popular with soldiers stationed here during W.W.11, and Saunders broke his house up into suites for some of the soldiers' wives. Between the wars, this house became a boy's residential and day school, known as St. George's On-The-Hill. It was modelled on an English style boys' school, with a number of boarders whose families were travelling; for some, it was an alternative to jail. and exposed rafter ends are also hallmarks of the Craftsman style. The house has now been duplexed but its essential form remains intact. The Jones Residence is a rare surviving example of the type of superior housing that predominated in this area, known as Nob Hill, from its first development around 1870 until around 1910. Here, the city's commercial and professional elite built substantial homes. By the early lgthcentury, : 639-41 Prideaux This prominent house, one of the few early surviving farm houses in the area, is located at the intersection of Cranberry Avenue, Island Highway South and Quinn Lane. It was originally in the Cranberry District, on property subdivided in 1911. The plan is square, with a cross gable roof structure for maximum utilization of the top floor. There is a graceful bellcast to the roof edges. Typical of the Edwardian era, an inset front corner porch is supported on square columns. The plantings provide a sympathetic setting, including large mature holly bushes. The house has been very well maintained. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 50 This house is very similar to 465 Park Avenue, and to 648 and 650 Haliburton Street; these four houses were most likely built by the same builder. The design has highly refined details, including a bellcast roofline, a central corbelled chimney, a stained glass transom in the front bay, and the distinctive scalloped inset arch over the second floor balcony. There are inset corner porches at the front and rear, with square chamfered columns. This house is set close to the street, on a large lot at the crest of a hill, with a sweeping view to the east, and is adjacent to the Esquimalt & Nanaimo railway lines. It has been well maintained in its original condition. Q&: Circa 1912 development of the Nanaimo area. In 1884, Samuel Robins, the Superintendent of the Vancouver Coal Mining and Land Company, purchased Harewood Estates, a large parcel of land between Nanaimo and the base of Mount Benson. Robins subdivided the area into "Five Acre" farms and made them available to mining families at affordable prices. Robins envisioned farming as a way for miners to provide for themselves whenever coal markets were depressed. The experience of William Newbury, who built this home, illustrates Robins' concept in application. William Newbury and his son were alternately miners and nurserymen, at one time operating a florist shop in downtown Nanaimo. Location: 678-696 Second Street William Newbury, a miner, lived here as early as 1909. In 1912 he and his son William Jr. are also listed as florists and nurserymen, with a shop on -Date: 1918 Commercial Street. By 1925, William was again listed as a miner, and his son as a rancher. Originally built as the Brackman-Ker feedmill, this building is one of the few remaining pre-W.W.I. industrial structures in the City. Built in a utilitarian style, this is a good example of an early industrial building. The form of the structure is unchanged although upgrades have been made to the building exterior, with the most notable change being replacement of the building's original corrugated iron siding with vinyl siding. Due to its mass, this building forms a prominent part of the Selby Street streetscape and is a visual reminder of an area abutting the railway that formed one of Nanaimo's earliest industrial zones. -Name: Brackman-Ker Milling Building Location: 241 Selby Street Construction Date: 1911 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 51 John King Gilbert, a native of Cornwall, England, died in Nanaimo on October 25, 1876. After his death, Gilbert's widow Mary Jane, also from Cornwall, became the Proprietor of the Temperance House, a boarding house at the corner of Bastion and Skinner Streets. Mary Jane built this charming Victorian cottage, and lived here until her death in 1898 at the age of 60. Her son John King Gilbert, originally a trader on the Naas River and later a machinist, continued to live here, later moving to Vancouver, where he died in 1926 at the age of 64. Her daughter, Laura, married E.G. Cavalsky and was Nanaimo's first telephone operator. In 1904 the house was acquired by A.E. Mainwaring. This Late Victorian cottage survives mostly in its original configuration (a second floor was removed), and is one of the best surviving examples of this type of house in Nanaimo. Square and symmetrical in design, with a central front entry, it is covered with a pyramidal roof that extends over the paired front bays to form a small porch. The front bays display decorative carved brackets at the eave line. The front door is original, with arched top panels, and retains its sidelights and transoms. The Gilbert Residence still sits on its original large property, with many mature shrubs and landscape features typical of the period, including variegated hollies. One of the most remarkable features is the unique wrought iron front gate and gateposts, -Name: Gilbert Residence manufactured by the Stewart Company of Cincinnati, Ohio; decorative cast metal was generally removed from older houses during the Second Location: 279 Selby Street World War as a result of 'scrap metal drives'. -Date: 1893 The Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Station is significant because of its association with the British Columbia confederation controversy. The railway was completed as a "consolation prize" from the federal government after it broke its promise to make Victoria the western terminus of the transcontinental railway. This breach led to threats of British Columbia's secession from Canada. Further controversy was fuelled when money and land for the railway were given to Nanaimo coal baron Robert Dunsmuir, already one of the province's richest men. In 1886, the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway opened with the local station being built at this site. During the 1880s, the completion of the railway and the simultaneous expansion of the huge No. 1 Coal Mine precipitated an economic boom that almost doubled Nanaimo's population and created a consequent demand for more housing and commercial services. The Station represents the -Name: Esquimalt & ,,,anairno commercial and residential development of a hitherto undeveloped area as a direct result of the siting of the station on Selby Street. Railway Station Location: 321 Selby Street Built by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in 1920, the Nanaimo Station, which replaced the earlier building, exemplifies the form of station Date: 1920 built in mid-sized communities across Canada in the early 20th century and can be seen as an early example of corporate branding that visually tied - Nanaimo to the rest of the CPR empire. The Nanaimo station appears to be a more elaborate version of CPR Standard Plan No. 9., a "combination station" that included living quarters and commercial space. The station house's most distinctive feature is its central square tower. In addition to providing an attractive visual element, the tower's projecting bay served a useful function by giving an unobstructed view of the track. Although there have been some changes to the building over time, it remains substantially intact and continues to serve its original function. The Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Station has been in continuous use since 1920 and continues to provide transportation service to Vancouver Island. This historic structure was designated a Municipal Heritage Site on December 19, 1977. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 52 This building is significant because of its association with Michael Manson, who came to Nanaimo from his native Scotland in the 1870s. Initially, he worked as a brakeman on a coal train, the clerked in and subsequently owned a dry goods and grocery store. From time to time, Manson left Nanaimo to trade with First Nation peoples along the coast and he eventually established a trading post on Cortet Island. In later years. Manson served as Nanaimo City Clerk, Secretary of the School Board and, from 1909 to 1932, as a member of the British Columbia Legislature. The family spent most summers on Cortez Island and eventually moved there permanently. The Manson Residence is a very good example of the stylistic evolution of a building over time. The original part of the house was a typical, modest Nanaimo worker's cottage, built between 1885 and 1887. The worker's cottage form is still clearly visible at both sides of the house. Subsequent renovations include the addition of a full front verandah with front gable and late-Victorian posts and a large rear addition. Although modern metal windows and doors have been introduced, the essential character of the building remains intact and the building is well maintained. Name: Manson Residence Location: 471 Selby Street Date: 1885-1887 -Name: Beck Residence Location: 610 Selby Street -Date: 1921 Built around 1892 for Daniel Sullivan, a blacksmith for the Vancouver Coal Company, the Sullivan Residence is a rare surviving and excellent example of a Queen Anne Vernacular style building. This picturesque and exuberant style featured asymmetrical shapes, ornate ornamentation, bays and prominent, varied rooflines. The ornamental excess made possible by new power tools and mass-produced decorative trim work. In Nanaimo, very few of these buildings survive in their original condition. Over the years, the fragile ornamentation was either removed or obscured by later renovations. The Sullivan Residence is part of a significant grouping of heritage buildings in an area that, in the late 19Ih century, was one of Nanaimo's most prestigious. Name: Sullivan Residence Location: 673 Street The ornate and unusual Sullivan Residence, located on a gently sloping site, is a neighbourhood landmark. -Date: Circa 1892 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 53 The Reid House, one of only three remaining single-family houses in the downtown core, is a tangible reminder of the historic presence of this housing form in the downtown area. From the 1850s until the 1930s, Nanaimo's downtown included an eclectic mix of commercial, industrial and residential buildings, including single-family homes. By the 1930s, residential nelghbourhoods adjacent to the downtown core were firmly established. Although the upper stories of commercial buildings and hotels continued to provide living accommodation, no new single-family housing was built downtown after 1930. Perched at the top of a steep cliff, the highly visible Reid House is an important neighbourhood landmark. Built in 1921, the Reid House is a very good example of the late Craftsman style. The Reid House has many of the features typical of this style including finely crafted wood detailing. The Palace Hotel represents the economic boom that was generated by the completion of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway and the expansion of the No. 1 Coal Mine in the 1880s. This handsome, ornate brick building speaks to the mood of prosperity and possibility prevalent at the time. The Palace Hotel represents the social importance of hotels in Nanaimo history. Like most mining communities, early Nanaimo had a large The Johnston Residence is a rare surviving example of the type of prestigious housing that predominated in NewcastleTownsite from its first development just after 1900 until the 1940s. Separated from the rest of the Nanaimo by the Millstone River, Newcastle Townsite quickly became an exclusive residential suburb for the city's commercial and professional elite. Today, the neighbourhood is a mix of commercial buildings, apartment Location: 36 Stewart Avenue Located on a narrow lot bounded by a main thoroughfare and the waterfront, the Johnston Residence is a highly visible neighbourhood landmark. The house was built for Zillah Johnston, the widow of Angus R. Johnston, a pioneer grocer in Nanaimo. A.L. Johnston, the manager of the A.R. Johnston Co. Ltd. at the time, also lived here. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 54 built "Eldovilla", an elaborate late-Victorian mansion. After his death, the house was demolished. Sloan's widow, Catherine, built this house in 1931 as a replacement, but eventually moved to Vancouver. The Scales acquired the property in 1933, but later moved to Port Alberni in the 1940s. The next occupant was S.V. lsaacson who moved to Nanaimo in 1943. lsaacson was the Secretary-Treasurer of Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd. The residence is a very good example of an English Cottage style influenced bungalow and has been well maintained. Design features representative of this style include the asymmetrical floor plan and rolled eaves roof treatment. Other notable design features include the jerkin- headed roof, a treatment typical of this era, and early use of rough stucco siding. Hoggan's Store is significant because it was, for many years, the only commercial building in Newcastle Townsite. Its presence is a tangible reminder that this area was, from its initial development in the early 1900s to the 1960s, a prestigious, almost exclusively residential neighbourhood. Today, although the neighbourhood is a mix of commercial buildings, apartment buildings and single-family houses, the surviving early residences and this building are evidence of the original character of the area. Due to its corner lot location, Hoggan's Store has a prominent street presence and is a highly visible neighbourhood landmark. Built around 1921, the Stephens' Residence is an excellent example of a late Craftsman-style residence. The house features typical Craftsman-style elements such as triangular eave brackets, tapered porch piers, exposed rafter ends and twin-coursed shingles. Although the house was built earlier, the first known residents were John "Jack" and Sophia Stephens who moved here in the mid-1930s. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1893, Jack came to Canada in 1913. For many years, Jack worked as an accountant at Nanaimo Motors and at Canadian Collieries (CCD) Ltd. A founding member of the Nanaimo Yacht Club and a Past Commodore, Jack was also a member of the Ashlar Lodge. The Stephens lived here until the 1970s. Jack died in 1971, Sophia in 1980. The Stephen's Residence is part of a group of historic buildings in one of Nanaimo's oldest neighbourhoods, just north of the downtown core. The building's location on a major thoroughfare makes it's a well known neighbourhood landmark. Name: Stephens' Residence Location: 505 Stewart Avenue Qa&: Circa 1921 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page 55 building style suggests that it was built circa 1920 but no records exist to confirm exact construction date. The building is a very good example of a simple vernacular interwar commercial structure. As a result of a major renovation initiated in 1991 the building's wooden siding was replaced and roof parapet restored. Along with Hoggan's Store located at 404 Stewart Avenue, this building was one of the few early commercial buildings located in the predominantly residential Newcastle Townsite. The building is located flush with the adjoining Island Highway on a prominent corner lot. Name: Egdell Residence Location: 725 Terminal Avenue North Built around 1945, the Wardill Residence is one of the best provincial examples of the Streamline Moderne style. This historic style shows the influence of the new discipline of Industrial Design. The horizontal lines and detailing of this building echo the streamlining bands found on most manufactured objects during the 1930s, including radio cabinets, cars, trains and ocean liners. The building's height and mass, unusual architecture, and its location on a curve on a major thoroughfare, make it one of the city's most recognizable landmarks, The residence is a tangible reminder of this neighbourhood's earlier character as an upscale, semi-rural, residential neighbourhood. When built, the Name: Wardill Residence house was part of a grouping of prestigious homes that lined this section of the road. By the late 1960s. the neighbourhood was becoming Location: 755 Terminal increasingly commercial and the area lost much of its previous exclusive residential status. Avenue North -Date: Circa 1945 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 56 Built around 1938, the Williams Residence is a very good example of rustic vernacular architecture. Inspired by rustic park lodges, this style, with its emphasis on simplicity, use of natural materials and sympathy with the landscape was particularly suitable for a building that was, at the time of construction, built on nine acres of land far from the city centre. Although the area has since become densely populated, the rustic Williams Residence and surrounding mature landscaping testify to the area's earlier remoteness and country character. The Williams Residence is significant for its association with Nanaimo native Dr. Seriol Williams. Active in the Nanaimo Historical Society, the Boy Scouts organization, the Nanaimo Horticultural Society and the Nanaimo Field Naturalists, Williams is best remembered for helping to establish Beach Estates park, a municipal wildflower sanctuary built partly on the site of Williams' property. The sole fan acreage in an area of single-family dwellings on small lots, the Five Acres Farm is a highly visible and well-loved community landmark. Built around 1898 for G.L. Schetky, an insurance agent and U.S. Consul, the Schetky Residence is an excellent example of a transitional Late VictorialEdwardian style bungalow. The square-plan house has a central front entry with square chamfered columns, and a bellcast pyramidal roof. The long, low proportions mark the change in style at the end of the Victorian era, when tall, asymmetrical houses with highly decorated surfaces and complex roof lines went out of fashion. The ornamentation is limited to scroll-cut eave brackets, banded and corbelled chimneys, and a rear window flashed with coloured glass. The Schetky Residence, the oldest know building in this neighbourhood, is a rare surviving example of the type of prestigious housing that predominated in Newcastle townsite from its first development just after 1900 until the 1940s. Separated from the rest of Nanaimo by the Millstone Name: Schetky Residence River, Newcastle Townsite quickly became an exclusive residential suburb for the city's commercial and professional elite. Today, the Location: 225 Vancouver neighbourhood is a mix of commercial buildings, apartment buildings and single-family houses, but surviving early residences such as this building are important evidence of the original character of the area. The Schetky Residence's grounds represent the type of landscaping that was favoured for Nanaimo's upscale neighbourhoods in the late 19Ih and early 2oth centuries. The mature Chilean Pine (Monkey Puzzle Tree) on the site is listed on the City's register of heritage trees. These trees were a popular fad before World War 1 and were often brought in my ship's crews as souvenirs when they stopped to refuel in South America. Often given as gifts, they were planted singly or in pairs in front yards. Other landscape features include mature holly trees, lilac bushes, rose bushes along the walk and a Japanese Plum. The grounds have a historical and physical relationship to the building and, as such, are an important component of the City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 57 This charming brick bungalow appears to have been built for Hannah Lowe, but it is unknown if she ever lived here. It was acquired the following year by Hazel G. Fawcett. In 1925 Frank M. Sharp, the City Engineer, and Marjorie Susannah Sharp became the first known resident owners. The house features an open front verandah, triangular eave brackets, and a bellcast roof. The use of brick is uncommon, and there is a unique checkerboard treatment, rendered in rough-cast brick, in the gable ends. -Name: Sharp Residence Location: 261 Vancouver Avenue Date: 1923 This house is reflective of the period revival styles popular in the years between the two World Wars. Designed in an English Arts & Crafts idiom, it features a high hip roof, stucco cladding, and multi-paned casement windows. Visual interest is provided by a gable projection over the front entry, a hip dormer, and a larger jerkin-headed dormer facing to the front. This house was built for Dr. William Edward James Ekins, and has been very well maintained by the present owners. The beautifully landscaped garden provides an appropriate setting for the house. -Name: Ekins Residence Location: 441 Vancouver Avenue -Date: 1927 Although the information regarding the date of construction of this building is unclear, it was built for William E. Webb, who also owned the adjacent lot. This front gabled structure has a 'boomtown' false front, a common device at the time, used to increase the apparent size of the building, and also providing an opportunity for more signage. By 1895 the building appears to have housed the Crescent Pharmacy. Later it was the site of McKenzie Candy Store, which exported hand-made candy to the United States. They were also known for their Christmas display, which included a four foot candy cane. This, and the adjacent building that houses Johnson's Hardware, are among the oldest surviving wooden buildings in Downtown Nanaimo.

The 1.5 storey building, while generally simple in form and mass, is embellished by leaded glass windows and an arched front entry-way, both elements typical of the style. The building is substantially intact. The residence was built for the Gulliford family, who operated a florist business downtown. A large greenhouse (now demolished) that serviced the florist business was built adjacent to the house. The building is located in one of Nanaimo's older neighbourhoods, just north of the downtown core. its location at a busy intersection makes it a well known neighbourhood landmark. Location: 285 Wall Street -Date: 1937 Since its construction, this building has been home to a succession of businesses including the Willard Service Station, a fish and chips restaurant and a tire and battery shop. In the 1950s, the building also featured apartments behind the Fitzwilliam Street storefront. In recent years, numerous restaurants have located at the Wallace Street storefront while the Fitzwilliam Street storefronts have hosted craft and service shops. The building is noteworthy for housing Nanaimo's first radio station, CFDC, in 1922. The building is a very good example of a simple vernacular commercial building built in Nanaimo just prior to W.W.I. A unique element of the building is the multiple storefronts, two of which include false front storefronts. The building is generally intact, although upgrades have been made to the original storefronts and windows, stucco covers the original wooden siding, and the original cornice was removed. As is the case with the Ranger Shoes building to the west (306-314 Fitzwilliam Street), the building is a good representative of the small scale, wooden commercial -Name: Willard Service Station buildings that were once common in Nanaimo. Location: 291-299 Wallace Street Located on a corner lot abutting both Wallace and Fitzwilliam Streets, the building forms part of the Fitzwilliam Street commercial building grouping Construction Date: Circa 1910 and marks the entry to the Fitzwilliam Street Heritage Gateway. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09/06/06) Page 62 Built in 1951, City Hall is an excellent example of and Nanaimo's first venture into the International style. Designed to project progress and modernity, the International style was the appropriate choice for a municipality striving to overcome its image as a dirty, depressed coal town and present itself as a forward looking city. A sympathetic 1970 addition on the north side respects the original building's architectural integrity. The exterior and interior are largely intact. Name: Nanaimo City Hall Date: 1950-1951 Island, McArravy was Nanaimo's most prominent architect for many years. City Hall has survived in near pristine condition, a testament to the integrity of the original design and McArravy's skill. Architect McArravy was born in Glasgow in 1900; after moving to Canada he served four years at the Wallace Shipyards in North Vancouver, first as a loftsman and later in the drawing office. Starting in 1921 he started work as an indentured student in the offices of Gardiner & Mercer in Vancouver. He later moved to Nanaimo, although he was in Vancouver during the war years. As early as 1940 McArravy was preparing plans for this building; these first schemes bear a remarkable similarity to what was actually built after the war. The gardens at the side and front of City Hill were designed at the same time as the building and are integral parts of the site's value. Situated on a high rocky outcropping, the extensively landscaped grounds soften the rigid formality of the building's architecture. The winding roadway that leads to the front entry provides a welcoming entrance, appropriate to a public building. Designed and built by local contractor James Green in 1912, this horizontally proportioned block is a very good example of a vernacular Edwardian Commercial style building. The second floor retains its original appearance. The ground floor originally had four separate storefronts and a central entry to the top floor but was later converted to use as a single restaurant. The alterations, which included using mosaic tile as cladding on the exterior, were designed by the Nanaimo firm of McArravy & Barley in 1956 and are a good expression of the building's aesthetic evolution over time and the trend towards stylistic modernization prevalent at the time. The Brumpton Block is significant because of it's association with the Wong family and the Diner's Rendezvous Restaurant. For several decades, starting in the mid-1950s, the Diner's Rendezvous was one of the most popular restaurants in Nanaimo. The Wong family were exceptionally active Name: Brumpton Block in community life. Location: 481-489 Wallace The Brumpton Block is significant because of its association with two well known and prolific Nanaimo builder-architects. Green was active in Nanaimo in the 1920s and 1930s and is best remembered for Beban House. McArravy, a formally trained architect, designed many notable buildings including City Hall and the Fitzwilliam Street Library building. A neighbourhood landmark, the Brumpton Block's long facade is very prominent to the street. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 63 and quoining that framed the edges and structural openings. A later coat of stucco obscured these features but some of the facade details, including the prominent cornices typical of this style, are still discernible. The elaborately detailed, round-arched windows, featuring radiating mullions and brick keystones, angled corner entry and ornate cast plaster ceiling are also substantially intact. The Merchant's Bank is significant for its association with Francis Mawson Rattenbury, British Columbia's premier architect of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rattenbury also designed the Nanaimo and Nelson Court Houses, the provincial Parliament Buildings and numerous other residential Name: Merchant's Bank of and institutional buildings. Renovated in the early 1990s when sympathetically detailed dormers were added to make the upstairs space more usable, the Jenkins Residence speaks to contemporary concerns about heritage building renovation and to ever evolving trends in historic interpretation. Location: 674 Wentworth Located at an intersection within a grouping of significant heritage buildings, the Jenkins Building is a highly visible neighbourhood landmark. designer. Wilson exemplifies early Nanaimo builders. Self-taught builders like Wilson, who had no formal architectural training, designed the majority of Nanaimo's early building stock. Among Wilson's credits are this residence, the design and construction of the Hall Block on commercial Street, the construction of the Eagle's Hall on Bastion Street and the Hudson-Essex garage (now offices) at 30 Front Street. Built in 1926, the Wilson Residence is an excellent example of a late Craftsman style building. The building is finely detailed and has a notable wrap-around verandah that takes advantage of its corner location. Name: Wilson Residence Located at a prominent intersection, the Wilson Residence is highly visible and part of a grouping of superior heritage buildings in this Location: 697 Wentworth City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 64 This lot was owned by the New Vancouver Coal Company, and later by the Western Fuel Company. Acquired by Janet and James William Crossan, this house was built by 1912. James Crossan was Chief of Police from 1894 to 1912, Secretary for the Pilot Board, and an Alderman for the North Ward; James Crossan died in 1915 at the age of 60, and Janet died just a few months later at the age of 59. James William Crossan, Jr., their son, then took possession; he was a blacksmith, then a landing waiter for H.M. Customs, and later a Post Office clerk. Original features include a shower on the back porch, of the type miners used after work, before they entered the house. The established landscape features include fruit trees, Japanese Maple, a Pink Dogwood, fruit trees and a vegetable garden. Name: Crossan Residence Location: 718 Wentworth Street -Date: 1912 City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 65 Established in 1877 when the city's first cemetery became full, the Nanaimo Public Cemetery is important as a highly visible, tangible link with Nanaimo's past. The modest early grave markers reflect Nanaimo's predominantly working-class population while more elaborate monuments provide the names and tastes of the city's wealthier citizens. Most representative of Nanaimo's history are the many inscriptions about mine accidents, testimony to the over 600 mine-related deaths that occurred in the area from the 1860s to the 1950s. Still in active use, the Nanaimo Public Cemetery functions as a fully accessible outdoor history museum. The Nanaimo Public Cemetery exemplifies the role the local coal company played in the development of the City. In addition to numerous park, school and church sites, the Vancouver Coal Mining and Land Company also donated the land for this cemetery. Because the company owned all the land in the area, the community was highly dependent on company largesse for the acquisition of public land. The company was, in turn, dependant on community goodwill to ensure economic stability. As such, the site testifies The Wellington Cemetery is one of very few tangible links to the town of Wellington, a formerly distinct community that was subsequently absorbed into the City of Nanaimo. Developed in the 1870s as a coal town by Robert Dunsmuir, who became one of the province's wealthiest men, Wellington rivalled Nanaimo in population and industrial output until its demise in 1900 when coal operations were moved south of Nanaimo to Extension and Ladysmith. At that time, many of the buildings were moved by railcar to the new communities. Combined with a few remaining lgthcentury buildings that are scattered throughout the area, the Wellington Cemetery is an important example of the ephemeral nature of single-industry resource towns. The physical remains of the Wellington Cemetery reveal much about the early social and economic history of the area. The original division of the cemetery into quadrants by religious denomination reflects the importance of those distinctions. In addition, the headstones provide evidence of the community's population composition. Unlike Nanaimo, which was developed predominantly by English and Scottish settlers, the headstones at Wellington Cemetery indicate an ethnically diverse population that included Ledgerwood Road significant numbers of Italians, Fins and Belgians. Other headstones tell of deaths due to mining accidents, a common occurrence in Date: 1890s or earlier Wellington's history. As a whole, the cemetery functions as an outdoor classroom of Wellington history. The original St. Peter's Church was located on Wallace Street next to St. Ann's Convent. This cemetery was established farther up the hill, and has been used continuously since at least the 1880s. Mount St. Peter's Church was established at this site, beside the old cemetery, in 1960. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 66 standing stone on the altar was found on the site, and is inscribed "All Past Friends Grave." This was the first garden in Canada to commemorate the contribution made by the Chinese and their Canadian children to this country. To Chinese Pioneers Location: 105 St. George was established near the western edge of the city. This last Chinatown was destroyed by fire in 1960, although much of its population had already dispersed. Because there is so little other tangible evidence of Nanaimo's Chinese heritage, the Chinese Cemetery is specially significant. Chinese inscriptions, the cemetery features traditional Chinese elements including ornate, brightly painted entry gates, a pagoda structure, an altar and a shrine. Although the cemetery is no longer exclusively Chinese, it retains, through the presence of these elements, a distinct Chinese character. The Cemeteries' striking entrance gates and its location on a main thoroughfare make it a highly visible neighbourhood landmark. City of Nanaimo Community Heritage Register (09106106) Page 67 Pioneer Cemetery Park speaks to the community's earliest development and is a valuable record of the lives of Nanaimo's first European settlers. The park is the third oldest cemetery in British Columbia after Fort Langley and Victoria. From the tirst known burial in 1953 to the final burial in 1895, this cemetery served as an essential communal space, both practically and spiritually. Pioneer Cemetery Park is an important example of an early preservation project and the development of community heritage consciousness. In 1953, concerned by the overall dilapidation of the site, the newly formed Nanaimo Branch of the BCHA (BCHF) made a record of all the stones still standing and a sketch of their original positions. In 1958, as the remaining headstones in a curving rock wall and planted grass and flowers.

When he returned to Nanaimo he built a grand mansion, which he name 'Eldo Villa'. Sloan later served as the provincial Minister of Mines; he died in 1923 and his mansion was demolished in 1930.

That Council issue Development Variance Permit No. DVPIO6 at 3351 Ross Road to vary the gross floor area from the maximum 390.18 square metres (4,200 square feet) to 665.4 square metres (7,163 square feet). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Council, at its regular meeting of 2006-SEP-I1 directed Staff to proceed with the statutory notification process for Development Variance Permit No. DVPIO6 at 3351 Ross Road. The notification has now been completed and as such, this application is returning for Council's consideration. The City of Nanaimo has received a development variance permit application from Pheasant Hill Developments Ltd., on behalf of Michael and Sandra Lyon, to vary the maximum gross floor area in the Single Family Residential Zone (RS-1) from 390.18 square metres (4,200 square feet) to 665.4 square metres (7,163 square feet). Given the proposed addition will not negatively impact existing views and will not result in a home that is out of character with the existing area, Staff supports the proposed gross floor area variance. BACKGROUND: The existing house is comprised of a two storey residence with an attached 157.9 square metres (1,700 square feet) indoor pool. The current floor area of the residence exceeds 464.5 square metres (5,000 square feet). The front elevation facing Ross Road has a complementary design with rock finishes. The house is difficult to see from Ross Road as the subject property is a panhandle lot. The building renovation and upgrade infills the breezeway between the two storey portion of the house and the one storey indoor pool. The new infill allows for the introduction of three distinctive gables which consolidates the lakefront building elevation into one architectural style. The new gables and glazed conservatory reduce the building massing. The new glazing and exterior finishes assist in reducing the scale of the building elevation. &ICouncil 0 Committee ...... - BopenAAeering 0 In-Camcn Me- 93 Meeting k W--Ife.~-~fi - Page 2 - STAFF COMMENT: Staff support the proposed gross floor area variance from the maximum 390.18 square metres (4,200 square feet) to 665.4 square metres (7,163 square feet).

Passed by the Council of the City of Nanaimo in open meeting assembled at Nanaimo, British Columbia this 25th day of September 2006. STAFF REPORT TO: I. HOWAT, DIRECTOR, LEGISLATIVE SERVICES FROM: P. F. WIPPER, MANAGER, REGULATION AND RISK MANAGEMENT RE: APPLICATION FOR LIQUOR-PRIMARY LICENCE - NANAIMO ICE CENTRE (Note: As per Council Policy, a report regarding this issue was placed on the agenda of the Regular Meeting of Council held 2006-JUN-26 for information purposes only. Now that the review process has been completed, a report appears before Council this evening for consideration.) RECOMMENDATIONS: That Council recommend that the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch: 1. issue a liquor-primary licence to the Nanaimo Ice Centre (NIC), 750 Third Street, indicating that the licensed capacity be represented as follows: the main floor lobby and viewing area (60 persons); the upper floor lobby, viewing area and multi-use area (152 persons); the seating for the west arena (360 persons): and, the seating area for the east arena (133 persons), for a combined total not exceeding 705 persons; and, 2. establish that the licensed hours of operation be Monday to Saturday, 10:OO a.m. to 1.00 a.m. and Sunday, 10:OO a.m. to 12:OO midnight. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City of Nanaimo has applied to the Provincial Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) to licence the City's new Nanaimo Ice Centre (NIC), located at 750 Third Street. The City wishes to license the facility to better accommodate sporting and special events. Many arenas throughout B.C. are licensed in this manner. The application is unique because the City is required to review and comment on its own application before the LCLB will consider it further. The NIC is located on a major arterial road which connects the Nanaimo Parkway with downtown Nanaimo. The site is well laid out with safe access and ample parking to serve the public. The only residential development within proximity to the NIC lies to the east of the property along Johnston Place. It is expected that the facility will operate with minimum impact to the residents of Johnston Place because the NIC building and landscaping will serve as a buffer between the NIC entrance I parking area and the residential homes. Situated across the street from the NIC is the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre and the Nanaimo District Secondary School. The RCMP supports the application however the School District does not. If approved, the licence would permit liquor service in the main and upper floor lobbies, the multi-use area and the general seating areas to a maximum of 705 persons. Qk CoWKil 0 Commirtte- @open- Q In-Cam Wing Dan: BACKGROUND: As Council is aware, a local government resolution is required before the LCLB will consider the application further. Both the Provincial Liquor Control and Licensing Act and Regulations and the City's Liquor Control Policy require that new liquor-primary licence applications be reviewed in terms of the following criteria: Location of the Proposed Establishment Proximity to Social I Recreation Facilities and Public Buildings Patron Capacity and Hours of Liquor Service Concentration of Existing Establishments within the Market Area Traffic, Noise, Parking and Zoning Population Densities and Population Trends Socio-Economic Factors Community Impact NlC Location, Size and Hours of Operation The NIC is located at 750 Third Street, which is directly across the street from the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre and the Nanaimo District Secondary School. The property is flanked by undeveloped property to the west and north and a residential subdivision to the east. The entrance to the building and parking for the site are located on the west side of the building. The NIC officially opened on Sunday, 2006-JUL-16. In order to host special events where alcohol is served, the City wishes to license the following areas of the facility: the main floor lobby and viewing area (60 persons); the upper floor lobby, viewing area and multi-use area (152 persons); the seating for the west arena (400 - 40 = 360* persons): and, the seating area for the east arena (159 - 26 = 133" persons), for a combined total of 705 persons. *LCLB requires that a percentage of the seating is non-licensed. The City is requesting that the licensed hours be Monday to Saturday, 10:OO a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and Sunday, 10:OO a.m. to 12:OO midnight. The Provincial and City Application Review Requirements The provincial and City application review requirements were established to respond to new liquor-primary establishments such as neighbourhood pubs, lounges and nightclubs. The primary use of this public facility is not to serve alcohol and therefore, a number of provincial and City review requirements simply do not apply. This report however, will comment on the proposed location, hours of liquor service, and such factors as traffic, noise, parking, zoning and community impact. The NIC is located on a major arterial road which connects the Nanaimo Parkway to downtown Nanaimo. The site is well laid out with safe access and ample parking to serve the public. The only residential development within proximity to the NIC lies to the east of the property along Johnston Place (see attached site plan). It is expected that the facility will operate with minimum impact to the residents of Johnston Place because the NIC building and landscaping will serve as a buffer between the NIC entrance I parking area and the residential homes. The proposed hours of liquor service were requested to accommodate sporting and special events. The hours of operation are consistent with other City facilities such as the Frank Crane Arena, Beban Park Recreation Centre and the Bowen Park Complex. Input from Various City Departments and External Agencies As part of the City's review process, copies of this application were sent to a number of City departments and external agencies for comment, including: 1. the RCMP; 2. Fire Rescue Services; 3. Building Inspection; and 4. the Planning and Development Department. The responses received indicated no concerns regarding licensing the NIC. This is not surprising considering the nature of the venue and the activities that will occur within the facility. The RCMP supports the licensing of this public facility and the proposed hours of operation. Finally, the zoning of the property permits "civic uses", which operate "under the auspices of a public body", which in this case, would be the City of Nanaimo. The Views of the Residents and School District #68 On 2005-APR-13, the City hosted an open house at the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre across the street from the proposed Ice Centre location. The architects and staff presented architectural displays, outlined the proposal and were available to answer questions during the open house. This open house attracted many of the user groups and some of the local residents who live in the subdivision adjacent to the proposed facility. Discussion included the planned application for a liquor licence, the design of the liquor service kiosk and the proposed licensed area in the arena. In addition to the open house, a public notice and comment sheet was mailed and delivered to all of the properties surrounding the NIC, including the residential properties located immediately east of the NIC property. The City received only three responses to the application (attached). Two responses were received from residents on Johnston Place who were concerned that licensing the facility would increase the level of traffic and noise in the area. The final response was received from the Nanaimo School District which passed the following resolution: "That the Board of School Trustees of School District 68 (Nanaimo - Ladysmith) does not support the liquor-primary licence application for the Nanaimo Ice Centre and further will advise the provincial liquor control branch of this decision." School District staff indicated that the Board was unable to support the application because of the NIC's proximity to the Nanaimo District Secondary School. The Trustees had concerns over student safety because of the possibility that people using the facility could be driving home under the influence of alcohol. The Trustees also felt that liquor service in the general seating area would not serve as a good example for children attending family sporting events. Apart from the School Board and two residents on Johnston Place, there do not appear to be any other concerns with this application. It is not expected that licensing the NIC will increase traffic and noise in the area. The School Trustees' response to this application is understandable based on their role as advocates for school children; however, it would appear that licensing the NIC to permit liquor service at sporting and special events would not have a negative impact on the immediate area, nor the community as a whole. Respectfully submitted, kt& P. F. Wipper 1. Howat Manager, Regulation and Risk Management Director, Legislative Services G:\\Liquor Licensing\Apps - Liq Primary\NIC\Staff Report CITY OF NANAIMO MEMORANDUM TO: Peter Wipper, Manager, Regulation and Risk Management FROM: Brent Meunier, Manager, Recreation and Culture Services DATE: 2006-JUN-27 FILE: C3-1-1 SUBJECT: Proposed Liquor Licencing at the Nanaimo Ice Centre Peter, the purpose of this memo is to provide a brief background and rationale for the members of City Council regarding the liquor primary licence application for the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The proposed new liquor primary licence at the Nanaimo Ice Centre will serve as a replacement for groups that had utilized the liquor licence at the Nanaimo Civic Arena. The Civic Arena will be demolished in September 2006. Similar to all other liquor primary locations operated by the City, an approved liquor licence at the Nanaimo Ice Centre will be used on an occasional basis. Requests for liquor sales will be primarily with tournaments or occasional special events being held. The City does not wish to operate the proposed licence all day long on a continuing daily basis. On 2005-APR-13, the City hosted an open house at the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre across the street from the proposed Ice Centre location. The architects and staff presented architectural displays, outlined the proposal and were available to answer questions during the open house. This open house attracted many of the user groups and some of the local residents who live in the small subdivision adjacent to the proposed facility. Discussion included the planned application for a liquor licence, the design of the liquor service kiosk, the cold storage unit for draft kegs, and the proposed licence area in the arena. Similar to the Civic Arena, the City has applied for a licence covering all of the spectator seating areas, along with the upper and lower lobbies. The ice surface area is not included in this request. This proposed licence will cover a broad range of possible activities that could occur in the facility. Only the areas appropriate for a particular event will be used for the serving of alcohol. Any licenced event will have a section of spectator seating where alcohol will not be permitted. Each booking or request will be reviewed by City staff responsible for the facility to ensure that the licenced area is appropriate for the event and that there is a security plan in place. When the licence is in effect, the City will always have a staff member on site dedicated to overseeing that the appropriate sales and control methods are implemented. The Nanaimo Ice Centre will be used primarily for amateur sport, both juvenile and adult, with the majority of use being for hockey and lacrosse. Hockey tournaments and higher caliber lacrosse will be the standard fare on the weekends throughout the year. These are the types of events where liquor sales will likely be requested by the hosting organization. - -. Memo to Peter Wipper 2006-JUN-27 Page 2 of 2 10% of liquor sales revenue is placed in a reserve to assist with cost sharing on projects initiated by non-profit groups for City sports fields and facilities. The remainder of the profit from each event is returned to the community hosting organization. Thus, the hosting organization has a vested interest in ensuring that their event runs without problem. With the implementation of the City managed liquor licencing operation at the Civic Arena, alcohol related problems were virtually eliminated. We anticipate that this track record will continue at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Parking is in accordance with the City of Nanaimo Building Requirements. There is no anticipated variation in parking requirements regardless of whether an event has liquor sales or not. There is also undeveloped space for parking expansion should it ever be needed. Please feel free to speak with Bob Kuhn, Tom Hickey, or me if any further detail or clarification is required regarding this licencing application for the Nanaimo Ice Centre.

This licence would encompass the lobby, viewing areas, seating & rink areas in the premise for a total of 900 persons. Proposed licenced hours would be Monday to Saturday 10 am to 1 am, & Sunday 10 am to midnight. The licence is being sought to promote tourism, particularly in relation to hockey & lacrosse tournaments. The facility would provide a potential venue for special events providing. a liquor service consistent to arena facilities in other large cities in British Columbia. The Ice Centre is situated in a predominately public I service sector of the City of Nanaimo. There is ample parking, and traffic & noise would not be problematic. It is not anticipated that licenced events hosted at this facility would adversely impact the community.

LCLB has completed the initial review of the application to determine applicant suitability and eligibility of the establishment type-for licensing. As part of that process, a ministry Compliance & Enforcement Officer (CE&O) has completed a site visit of.the proposed establishment location. Having determined applicant eligibility, we are now proceeding to the Site and Community Assessment stage which is the stage for local government input. The Council for the City of Nanaimo is requested to consider the application and provide a Resolution with their comments and recommendation with respect to the licence application. To assist with Council's assessment of the statutory criteria that must be considered, Liquor Control and Licensing staff has prepared an application summary report for review and consideration by Council. The application summary report is based on information provided by the applicant and by LCLB staff. Council has 90 days to either provide comments to the general manager, or to advise that they wish to "opt out" of the process. Additional time over the 90 days can be approved by LCLB if the request is received in writing prior to the end of the 90 day period. Upon receipt of a council resolution, LCLB will review the resolution to determine if all regulatory criteria has been met in accordance with section 10 of the Liquor Control and Licensing Regulations and; if recommended by Local Government, assess whether the granting of the license would be contrary to the public interest.

Out of consideration of non drinking spectators, specific areas of the stadium's seating must be designated as areas where the possession and consumption of liquor is not allowed.

It will be held at the Malaspina University-College campus, in the ASTEC Building 180, Room 134. Following the 92 minute video presentation, there will be an open forum for questions and discussion about the drug situation in Nanaimo. Please come with an open mind and feel free to share your thoughts, ideas and opinions after the showing. 'Faces of Addiction', is a Malaspina University-College, Bachelor of Science in Nursing student group, that believes in treating all human beings with dignity and respect. It recognizes that the current criminal approach to drug use is ineffective. In fact, it fuels the problem and ignites new issues. The criminal approach infringes on basic human rights by increasing stigmatism and pushing people further from society, consequently excluding this population from much needed health care and prevention programs. Furthermore, drug addiction is not simply the problem of the person who uses, but a family, community and social problem that needs to be addressed with heartfelt concern and compassion for those around us. People with addictions are people first. They are your sister, brother, mother, father, son, daughter, or friend. Their drug use was a choice, their addiction is not. We believe that the time for change is now, and that harm reduction strategies offer hope for people with addictions and the community of Nanaimo.
