Knoll acknowledged that not every cen- tury-old house in Oakville can be saved, but said the fact that almost nothing of this house would be moved or preserved else- where was particularly sad. Trafalgar Township Historical Society Secretary Michelle Knoll had a similar atti- tude noting that in the past the Town has gotten in touch with the owner of heritage properties scheduled for demolition to dis- cuss preservation options. My biggest concern is why were the his- torical societies not contacted by the Town as has been done in the past to connect us to the owners to see if there was anything of heritage value that could be saved, she said. RIZIERO VERTOLLI / OAKVILLE BEAVER GONE: The house at 152 Caulder Dr. had a demolition permit issued on it before the Town of Oakville added the house to its heritage register. This has been done in the past year in other demo- lition issues. Also why was it not sug- gested that they (the own- ers) advertise the building for sale for anyone who wanted to come move it I know heritage staff have also suggested this option in the past. Finally heritage staff have also on occasion approved demolition, but asked if the owners would take pictures as demolition happens so that the original structure can be documented for her- itage purposes to record our history before it is gone. Property owner Ralph Bozzo could not be reached by the Beaver. Owner Isabella Bozzo declined to comment. Continued from page 1
