conjunction with the owner The report dealt with the historic and architectural reasons for which the community should consider designating the building under the Ontario Heritage Act It was this report which precipitated the final designation bylaw for the Williams Mill and The Georgetown Electric Light Com pany Power Plant The two buildings ore Industrial and until recently unloved lures of
