The AGM will be held at Walton Memorial Church at Bronte and Lakeshore Roads starting at 7:30 One highlight of the evening will be a presentation of "Sovereign House" by the Society‘s own playâ€" wright/actor Michael Brown. A In October, Council released $138,125 from the Cultural Heritage Reserve Fund which was added to the $96,875 already in the bank earmarked for the restoration project. Construction, which includes an addition to the house, is set at $187,800. The balance has been put aside for design costs, GST and a small contingency fund. The Sovereign House is a hisâ€" toric home which, among other things, was home to author Mazo de la Roche of "White Oaks of Jalna" fame. The stately brick building was constructed in 1825 by one of Bronte‘s founding fathers, Charles Sovereign. Mazo de la Roche â€" who lived in the house from 1911 to 1914 â€" began her writing career there by penning "Possession," a book depicting her time in Bronte and her vision of small town Ontario. Following last month‘s longâ€" awaited approval of financing for the extensive renovations, interest in the project has snowballed says Society viceâ€"president Robert Koolen. In fact, 46 new members have joined the BHS since word began to spread that the muchâ€" delayed endeavor had received a green light. [~"%he exciting restoration of the Sovereign House will be E. front and center at Wednesday s Annual General Meeting of the Bronte Historical Society (BHS).
