The George Gilcrest House 306 Gilbert Street West WHITBY, Ontario REASONS FOR DESIGNATION 0F 306 GILBERT STREET WEST. WHITBY HISIQBLC George Gilcrest buiît the home at 306 Gilbert Street during the year of 1876. The 20-ft. x 30-t. home has had numerous occupants since its construction, most notably the Emmett and Oke familles. In addition, from 1950 to 1959 il was rented b y the Whitby detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. The OPP put in an oil furnace (1950). constructed a garage (1952) and an addition to the rear of the home in 1953. Over the years of the home tran.sferring -ownership, the horiie has undergobe some restofation and renovations. A replica side porch was addedin 1988. During the construction of the porch, the date 1843 was incorporated into the barge board under the front eaves, however, evidenoe clearly indicates the construction of the home to be 1876. ARCHITECTURAI The home displays a good representation of modest housing for the ,tperiod around 1876. The basic storey and a haIt, rough cast foriin, with ,t gable end to the street, was popular for inexpensive housing for several decades. With the plain roughcast surface, it relied on the placement of openings to define its proportions, and is. enflivened by slightly pedimnented lintels on the front bays. Restoration has added the verandah, barge board, bracketed door hood and door surrounds. The house also has important streetscape value by contributing to a row of later gable-fronted houses. Any person may, before June 26, 1993, send b y registered mail or deliver to the Clerk of the Town of Whitby notice o f hit or her objection to the proposed desig nation, together with a statemept of reasons for the objection and a l relevant facts. If such notice of objection is received, the Council of the Corporation of mhe Town of Whitby shal refer the matter Io the Conservation Review Board for a hearing.
