Vision To be the most livable town in Canada Notice of intention to designate Linbrook Public School 1079 Linbrook Road, Oakville Take notice that Oakville Town Council, on Monday, December 13, 2010 resolved to pass a Notice of Intention to Designate for PLAN 781 LOT 18 municipally known as 1079 Linbrook Road under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. 18, as a property of cultural heritage value and interest. The subject property is located on the north side of Linbrook Road between Chartwell Road and Chamberlain Lane. The property includes a school building which contains the original one-room schoolhouse constructed in the 1930s as well as several later additions. The property also includes a large open space and forested area. The Linbrook Public School property has cultural heritage value for its physical design. The original one-room schoolhouse on the property, constructed in 1932, was one of the last one-room schoolhouses constructed in Ontario. It was built in the Colonial Revival style with influences from the Georgian and Neoclassical periods, and remains a rare example of this style of building. The auditorium built in 1955 is considered to have heritage value for its design which replicates the original schoolhouse building. There are also landscape elements of heritage value, including the mature trees and the paving stones in front of the school inscribed with the names of donors. The property has cultural heritage value for its historical associations with Linbrook Public School. The property has played a significant role as a local school and centre of community life. The building and grounds were used for numerous community events, including theatre, dancing, music, games and lectures. A number of graduates of Linbrook went on to play a significant role in the community, including 17 members who served in the Second World War. The property is also associated with architect George Nepean Molesworth who designed the original schoolhouse. Molesworth constructed several homes and public buildings in Oakville including Maple Grove Public School. Linbrook Public School has cultural heritage significance for its contextual value. The school has helped create and define the character of the local residential neighbourhood. The building is considered to be a well-known landmark along Linbrook Road. Any objection to this designation must be filed no later than January 21, 2011. Objections should be directed to Cathie Best, Town Clerk, 1225 Trafalgar Road, P.O. Box 310, Oakville, Ontario L6J 5A6.
