A Background and Vision Report for 15 King Street Bracebridge, Ontario March 2012 FINAL REPORT "Phoenix Rising": A Background and Vision Report for 15 King Street Bracebridge, Ontario Submitted to: Cheryl Kelley Director of Economic Development Town of Bracebridge 1000 Taylor Court Bracebridge, Ontario P1L 1R6 Report Number: 12-1126-0005 (Report 1) Distribution: REPORT 2 copies - Town of Bracebridge 1 e-copy - Town of Bracebridge 1 CD - Town of Bracebridge 2 copies - Golder Associates "PHOENIX RISING": A BACKGROUND AND VISION REPORT FOR 15 KING STREET, BRACEBRIDGE, ONTARIO Executive Summary This Background and Vision Report has been written to provide the necessary background information to assist with the determination of a preferred option (or options) for the future of 15 King Street in Bracebridge, Ontario. It presents an understanding of key attributes of the property, including its built heritage resources (including “Woodchester Villa”, its museum collection, its natural heritage resources, and a review of the current governance model and applicable legislation.1 This was contextualized by presenting a history of octagon houses, the Bird Family, and through a market analysis. As well, the market context for redevelopment of the site and a review of the public policy environment in Bracebridge is contained in the document. This process also revealed issues with the current governance of the site, particularly concerning the ownership of the museum collection, and indicated that some further deterioration has occurred since the 2010 Assessment undertaken by First Dimension Engineering. The process included stakeholder consultation through onsite sessions, email correspondence, and telephone interviews. Stakeholder consultation revealed that while those consulted recognized the values of the site, there was a clear recognition that this understanding was not widespread within the community. Their descriptions of the site emphasised the lack of care and maintenance applied to the Villa, but recognized that the site as a whole was a considerable asset to the community, and that there were some very distinctive and important elements to the site. The Chapel Gallery was identified as a positive attribute, as was the site’s location. The site was seen as a unique location, with a special story, with Woodchester Villa being a very distinct building and focal point. The stakeholders all wanted to see the site as a useful and integrated component of the community. Drawing upon the background findings, an initial vision statement was developed to guide the consideration of the options. The vision statement developed is as follows: The 15 King Street property, consisting of Woodchester Villa, the Chapel Gallery, and the surrounding parkland, will be a revitalized community resource used by a variety of community groups and members. Situated in a redesigned park with vistas and signage, a restored Woodchester Villa that includes some historical exhibits and other community uses possibly supported by small scale commercial uses and which will be augmented by the Chapel Gallery. From this statement, three options were developed by the team that ranged from “least commercialized” to “most commercialized”. The least commercialized option envisages essentially using the property as a park and event area for the community in the short term, and treating the Villa as an “artifact”. At the other end of the spectrum, the “most commercialized” option sees the Villa being restored and used for some commercial purpose. In the middle lies a semi-commercialized option that would use (rent) some of the building for office space (likely for community groups, but possibly for service businesses paying a market rent). Other parts of the building floor could be used as museum or exhibit space; either a museum on Bracebridge history, or the story of the Bird family. The option is also available for a small scale commercial use, such as a tea room. This option generates some revenue for the municipality, yet keeps at least part of the structure open to the general public. 1 “Woodchester Villa” is not the name the Bird Family used for the property. The family called the property Woodchester. The “Villa” was added in the late 1970s by either the Rotary Club or the Bracebridge Historical Society. However, the name “Woodchester Villa” is used in this report as it is the name currently used for the property. March 2012 Report No. 12-1126-0005 (Report 1) i "PHOENIX RISING": A BACKGROUND AND VISION REPORT FOR 15 KING STREET, BRACEBRIDGE, ONTARIO The next report will focus on the preferred option. However, no matter what option is chosen for further analysis, several recommendations have been developed for the municipality. These are as follows: 1) Based upon the conditions of the Ontario Heritage Trust Easement Agreements, the repair work on Woodchester Villa must be undertaken no matter what option is chosen; 2) As the nature and composition of the cement and the stucco is not known, it should be determined prior to the installation of any new materials or moisture barrier; 3) The following items should be discussed with the Ontario Heritage Trust: whether or not the Chapel Gallery is included in the easement agreement; what changes are considered appropriate for the interior given the significant alterations noted in several areas; what level of detail is required for project specifications, if the existing list of heritage elements is still applicable or appropriate, if archaeology is going to be required before work begins; and, if the proposed removal of original material is considered appropriate; 4) The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada should be reviewed to ensure that any of the proposed works meet the standards within this document; 5) The date and details of the dissolution of the Bracebridge Historical Society should be ascertained in order to ensure that there are no questions concerning the ownership of the collection; 6) The collection records and inventory should be reviewed to determine that all items have a record of donation or purchase. In the absence of either record, prior to undertaking any action on an item, ownership should be determined either through follow-up with the original donator/seller or through legal notice; 7) It is recommended that due to the present state of the collection, it should be assessed by a conservator. This is especially necessary as items will likely need to be moved prior to the renovation work on the building. This conservator should provide a priority action list of next steps, including (but not limited to) a work plan for necessary conservation of artifacts, helping to identify what items the Town may wish to retain and which items the Town should de-accession, and helping to develop policies for the collection; 8) Prior to the 2012 tourism season, a concerted effort should be undertaken to ensure that the community is aware the site is closed, and to ensure that all tourist publications clearly indicate this fact; 9) A communication plan should be developed to advise people what is going on with the 15 King Street, the schedule for any proposed works, and important next steps; 10) The Town should develop and adopt policies that reflect the provincial requirements for conservation standards, collections standards, and physical plant standards for museum collections without delay; 11) The Letter of Understanding between the Muskoka Arts and Crafts Inc. and the Town of Bracebridge governing the terms of use of the Chapel Gallery should be revisited by both parties to see if it is still applicable after a preferred option is chosen; 12) It may be useful for the municipality to acquire a guide for housekeeping in historic house museums, such as the National Trust publication Housekeeping for Historic Homes and House Museums by Melissa Heaver; 13) A site specific maintenance plan should be developed for 15 King Street; March 2012 Report No. 12-1126-0005 (Report 1) ii "PHOENIX RISING": A BACKGROUND AND VISION REPORT FOR 15 KING STREET, BRACEBRIDGE, ONTARIO 14) A Designated Substances Review should be carried out on Woodchester Villa, if one has not already been carried out; and, 15) The Accessibility recommendations of Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada should be reviewed in more detail once a specific option is chosen.

    Carl Henrikson Narrator Professor Allen Nevins and Mr. Louis M. Starr Interviewers December 27, 1954 642 Fifth Avenue, New York City It was interesting to see how much it cost to feed a man per day up in the woods. I kept records and showed them to the cooks in the various camps. It became competitive with them to see who could feed the men at the lowest cost and yet satisfy them, because it would hurt a cook’s reputation terrible to have any complaint about his food. As I recall it, in the summertime it would cost a good deal more because they had to serve eggs and bacon and ham; they couldn’t serve fresh meat because they didn’t have any way to keep it. In the summertimeProject--this was back in 1923--we fed men at a cost of about ninety-one, ninety-two or ninety- three cents a day. In the wintertime we could feed them for about seventy-seven or seventy-eight cents a day. They ate more beans and fresh meat in wintertime. Fresh meat actually cost less than hams and bacon and eggs. We also had some fresh vegetables, but not a great many. We didSociety use colored oleomargarine in those days, believe it or not. History There was no company dietician; the cook was the dietician. But the men oftentimes got fresh meat for breakfast, at noon and at night. Of course, on the log drives, they got four meals a day. They started work at six o’clock in the morningOral and they got breakfast.
