Hasted-Fishor Hause 535 Myrtle Road West Whitby, Ontario REASONS FOR DE;SIGNATION OF 535 MYRTLE RD, W. WHITBY HfIITOBIG This granite fieldstone house la sited on what was originally a 200- acre parcel af land granted ta Christina Diamond an Mardi 30, 1826 y ay af patent fram the Govemment of Upper Canada. The land was eventually purchased b y Thomas Halsted in 1832. Mr. Halsted was the first bonafide settier of tie lands, having the existing structure buiît most likoly in the late 1840s, and deiinitely by 1852, as his residence lais isted as a 1-1/2 storey stone house in the census taken in 1852. After Mr. Hasteds death in 1854, the praperty was sold ta Timothy Fisher. The property was owned by varous Fisher family members until 1938<(84 years). ARCHITECTURAL The Halstedfflsher house is ai architectural value and intereat, and is an excellent example af an earty fieldstone iarmhouse with red brick trim. The house is Iocated on a large farm lot and is surroundced by mature vegetatian. It has flnely executed detaila in bath wood and masonry which demanstrate the local vemacular traditions and the more elaborate decorative design elements typical af the eaxly and mid-l9t century neo-dlassicai styles. It has a typical farm for a vemnacular farmnhouse, having a formai flve-bay front facade with two windows, with six-over-six sash, on either aide af a central doorway. The building also has rregular features, such as a blind window, a double-sided bake aven and an asymmetrical back door, which add to its vemacular character. Interior features of interest are the basement lire place which indicates the presence of an early kitchen and the intact mouldings ai the present dining room. The dinng room's baseboard, door and window trim use corner boxes, reedings and the same large moulding profile as the extenior entry pilasters. They are the broad and elaborate mouldings characteristic ai the neo-classical and are repeated consistently throughout the building, appearing also in the eaves and in the entry entablature. Any persan may, before February 11, 1994, send by registered mail or deliver ta the Cîerk of the Town ai Whitby notice ai hîs or her objection ta the pro posed designation, together with a statement of reasons for the objection and al levféant tacts.

Old St. Johnsa Roman Cathaijo Church 508 John Street West Whitby, Ontario REASONS FOR DESIGNATION OF 5SS JOHN ST. WEST HWHITBY Being the first solely Catholie church in the Town of Whitby, the construction ai this church began in 1867 under the watchfuî oye ai Archbishop Lynch ai Taranto. The brickwork was contracted ta a well-known Whitby mason, George Cormak, and was designed by a prominent Canadian architect, Henry Langley, who also designed Ail Saints' Anglican Church in Whitby and St. Thomas Anglican Church in Broaklin. Tragedy struck in 1901 when the church was destroyed b y lire. Soon afterwards (1902), iollowing the origiînal p1ans (which are stored at the Ontario Archives), Thamas everill Jr., son af the original builder, bea reconstrucbing the new church. ln December 1902, the ch urch was off icially opened. It was nat until 1975 that the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation sold the church and it became a residential praperty. ARCHITECTURAL The style ai the church is Gothic in a very modest form apprpate for a smali parish. The aide walls ai the church are divde nto three bays separated b y decorative buttressea. The front facade has single lancet windiows oither side af the front porch. Over the entry pordi was a large rase window, which is now concealed. At the gable peak, there is a masoniy projection for a beliry. The building is constructed in red brick with stone trim. The heada aif the lancet windows are surrounded by a simple Gothic hood moulding made ai a double course of corbelling brick. A single masonry chimney rises at the back of the churcli. The building retainis its original comnerstane.
