Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Phil Jones is Happy Birthday! From your ONLY friend 5 ·The IFP· Halton Hills, Tuesday, January 10, 2012 60 today! An excavator took down the old house at 40 Charles St. this past November. The home was on the original Phase 2 Heritage Register but was removed after a demolition permit was issued. On the list the home was described as a "good example of vernacular style residence with alterations. The house was built for Christina Austen, wife of a local shoemaker, along with the neighbouring residence at 42 Charles St. It was part of the historic residential streetscape of Charles St." Photo by Ted Brown Put the romance back in your relationship Join our "Social Dance" class this winter Hundreds of properties evaluated for Register Continued from pg. 1 style cottage as indicated by the steep peak roof at the centre and decorative vergeboard. Annie Ryan, the principal of the Chapel St. Public School, once owned the house. Georgetown's Ryan Road was named after her when the school closed." Wards 1&2 Regional Councillor Clark Somerville motioned to amend the list to withdraw the four properties until a meeting could be arranged with the four affected property owners to further explain the Heritage Register. "A couple of these properties I didn't think should be on the Register, but a couple of them I did," said Somerville. "Let's have a discussion. ...It's better as a public body to be transparent." But Heritage Halton Hills chair, Councillor Moya Johnson, said the Register was discussed at length. The Register is simply a registry of buildings in town that have heritage value. It doesn't put any imposition on the property owner of what they can and can't do, she said. "The principle of the Register is to acknowledge those buildings in town that have heritage value," she said, "but it's not meant to be an exclusive list, it's meant to be an inclusive list-- not just the best or the prettiest or the one that's the best example of one style. It's meant to acknowledge all buildings." Johnson added there was an extensive public process. In Georgetown, 187 properties were looked at and 111 were added to the list. In Norval, 102 were evaluated and 23 were added, while in the rural area two properties within Lots 1-10 were added. More rural lots will be looked at during Phase 3 of the Heritage Register evaluations. A team led by the University of Waterloo Heritage Resources Centre did the evaluations. Written notice will be sent to all property owners that have been placed on the list, and it will also be available at the Halton Hills Public Library.
