"Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, December 12, 2000 - § Old dairy comes down: new building planned By Chris Hall Port Perry Star A Port Perry landmark was brought crashing to the ground last week. Built in 1911 and known for years as the old Port Perry Dairy, the Pizza Delight building was razed Friday (Dec. 8), eight months after a suspicious fire gutted the restaurant. "We're in the demoli- tion stage; one of Port Perry's landmarks is com- ing down today," Brian Callery said last week. Along with his wife Joanne, he co-owns the property with Tom and Daphne Mitchell. The group bought the property in 1987. After months of investi- gating the March 19 fire, it was deemed that the building was irreparable and should come down. An explanation for the fire, which caused an esti- mated $500,000 damage, has never been found, although it is speculated the blaze was a result of electrical problems or arson. Scugog Township coun- cil has already given gen- eral approval for a new 7,000 square-foot building. Mr. Callery and his associ- ates are to appear at a committee of adjustment meeting today to work out. final details. Twenty days after the project is given full approval, providing there is no opposition, a build- ing permit will be issued. "We're at the stage now where the building is down and we're working on the final plans for reconstruction," said Mr Callery. "There are a number of folks who are interested in occupying the new building, and we are open to design ideas from !

Ideas for the new building have included a laundromat, coffee shop, restaurant, and profes- sional offices.
