t 18 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 8,1991 Museum Unveils Belvedere by Laura J. Richards The aromatic cedar panelling panelling that was recently installed installed in the Bowmanville Museum's belvedere fills the room with the bewitching scent of agelessness. The belvedere, said Charles Taws, was used by the prominent Jury family as a storage area. As an architectural architectural fixture, a belvedere belvedere was used to filter the warm air out of the house through opened windows at the top. In recent months, the belvedere has been restored and is now a useable room in the museum. But, before , ' ' -V- -v,xv the room was refinished it was in rough shape. It had even been through a fire at one point, said Mr. Taws. "The only reference to a lire was in a clipping that said a number ot Mr. Fisher's Fisher's trees had burnt in the back yard." Mr. Taws added that, ac- ■ _ ■ ; - J I -V-X- •- Is <*< *0- •• . • ' * X; V: • £ $ * ' > ■, * , ■ " ST;'. I _ ', ; vV .. Q cording to some recollections, recollections, the belvedere supposedly supposedly had windows all the way around the top portion. However, when the walls were stripped, before the cedar cedar panelling was put on, there were no signs of casements casements where the windows would have been. The walls were covered with plaster made from horse hair to a point just below the windows. windows. From the windows down, bare wood slats made up the walls. "The belvedere appearance appearance is the same bn the outside outside as it was when the Jurys Jurys lived in the house," said Mr. Taws. One of the many things the Jurys' grandchildren learned about the belvedere is that noise made there didn't filter to the floors below. below. This made the belvedere belvedere a great place to play, explained the curator. "There were shelves Local Sorority Celebrates Founder's Day at Lions Centre around the walls, a baby carriage and boxes," added Mr. Taws, who has talked with Chester Jury who now lives in Timmins. Mr. Juiy was one of "the children who used to climb up the shelves and go out the window to play tag or sunbathe on the roof." The belvedere is now a children's room with a variety variety of reproduction toys to play with. "There are wooden cars, stuffed toys, cast iron toys, (including a small train), dolls and paper dolls." One of the features of the belevedere is Edwina Kingsley, Kingsley, a near-life-sized doll who is the lone resident of the Bowmanville Museum. Originally, Ms Kingsley was a "member" of the Kinette Club who was invited to tea parties on a frequent basis. She retired a few years ago and has since become a familiar familiar sight at the museum. HamptonNews Bowmanville Museum resident Edwina Kingsley (the doll on the chaise lounge) certainly appreciates the donation made by the Bowmanville Rotary Club to refin- ish the museum's belvedere at the top of the house. Here she is with curator Charles Taws who is holding a donation plaque representing the Rotary's $5,000 contribution to the museum.
