IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT, R.S.O. 1980, c. 337 AND IN THE MATTER OF THE LANDS AND PREMISES AT THE FOLLOWING MUNICIPAL ADDRESS IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO NOTICE OF PASSING OF BY-LAW TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Whitby has passed By-law No. 1906-85 to designate the following property as being of architectural andior historical value or in- terest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1980, c. 337: Former Methodist Church 202 Centre Street North and 300-304 Mary Street West REASONS FOR DESIGNATION OF 202 CENTRE STREET NORTH AND 300-304 MARY STREET WEST Historical The former Methodist Church was built in 1855 by the Trustees of the Methodist Church on land donated by John Ham Perry. One of the church's ministers, Rev. Joseph E. Sanderson, was a prin- cipal supporter in the establishment of the On- tario Ladies College (now Trafalgar Castie School) in 1874. In 1876, the church was closed when the Methodists completed their new, much larger Tabernacle (now St. Mark's United Church). Architectural The former Methodist Church was originally built in a simple Greek Revival style. Il was converted to residential purposes in 1877. At that time, many late-Victorian details were added such as bay win- dows, carved brackets and decorative wooden porches. The juxtaposition of the two styles has produced a unique and interesting architectural composite. DATED at the Town of Whitby this 25th day of September, 1985. Donald G.
