When a plan for the wall construction was visualized the committee had a probshy1em No one had the masonry experience needed to erect the wall Mark Barclay volunteered his masonry skills and his nephew Cal Barkley assisted Committee members helped with cement mixing and landscaping McNamee Concrete a local cement company provided the base mate rial and Kevin Kinch provided the cement skills for the base of the wall Tackaberry Construction a local construction compa ny supplied the fill to complete the land scaping

The St Philip Neri Catholic Church Pioneer Wall will serve as a visual mon

Heritage Elizabethtown-Kitley thought the project and the committee deserved special recognition for their efforts in revealing a part of Kitleys heritage to the community and visitors The project is an excellent example of volunteers working together to preserve the past for future generations In Febmary the St Philip Neri Cemetery Committee was presented with an Ontario Heritage Trust Heritage Com munity Recognition Award This award has been given annually since 1996 to volunteers in the community that have contributed to the preservation and conser vation of Ontarios heritage Members of the committee received a framed certifi

cate and pin presented to them by council and the heritage committee on behalf of the Trust

Auburn Walk in Peterborough Gord Young

Lakefield Heritage was delighted to kick off Heritage Week with a walk of the Auburn district of Peterborough (It is

commonly called Auburn Mills to avoid confusion with the hamlet of Auburn in Bruce County) About twenty people braved the biting north wind on a sunny Sunday Febmary 17 to do the two hour walk of the area

At the northeast comer of the City of Peterborough in about 1840 Auburn was the first community to be incorporated into the then Town of Peterborough Much has been lost over the years but at least we know where some of the important houses and stores stood Besides the woollen mills there is the Auburn Gen

erating Station one of three working laboratories for Edison-GE Electric Although the house is gone the walkers were shown

where the Hon Sir Frederick Haultain was raised and educated

Ilaullain was the first and only Premier of the Northwest Territo ries He also oversaw the creation of the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta One of the nicest and unexpected sur prises during the walk was the stop for colTee-n-tea at our newly opened funeral home

Despite the cold temperature the Auburn Walk was a great success for all We now have brochures for a self guided walking tour of the area These are available at the Heritage Office in Peterborough City Hall during regular hours

N 2-3Downton Abbey

Paul R King

Downton Abbey is just a television soap opera but it is among the most successful mini-series of all time It has

spectacular production quality and attention to detail covering the period from April 1912 (the sinking of the Titanic) forward into the 1920s and perhaps beyond as the series continues The series has excellent ensemble acting with a stellar cast including Maggie Smith Hugh Bonneville Phyllis Logan Jim Carter Penelope Wilton Elizabeth McGovern and Shirley MacLaine Lord Julian Fcllowes (known for the film Gosford Park) is responsible for the engaging script which includes deliciously witty dialogue The periodclothing and props such as the antique automobiles are eye catching The omnipresence of the class structure and breaches thereof are perhaps unsettling but intriguing The series is infec tious

In spite of all these over-thc-top components what is the real star of the show If you ask me I would say the historic setting It is the Jacobethan castleconstructed of Bathstone with numerous thinspires piercing the sky and set in the thousand acre grounds known in the television world as Downton Abbey in Yorkshire England The series could havebeen called TheCrawleys or some other titleappropriate to the characters but instead it is titledafter the mainsetting

In reality this property is Highclere Castle located in Hamp shire southwest of London England The castle dates to the 1830s and was designed by Sir Charles Barry the architect of the British Houses of Parliament The elaborate interior was not completed until 1878 long after the architects death This stunning castle in its estate setting anchors the series From a heritage standpoint what can we learn from Downton Abbey

Prior to the filming the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon could not afford to adequately maintain and repair their castle and estate Apparently the roof and the skylights were leaking and the stonework was crumbling By 2009 the castle was in dire need of major repair with only the main and first floors remaining useable Water damage had caused stonework to crumble and ceilings to collapse so that at least fifty rooms were uninhabitable Repairs needed for the entire estate were estimated to cost around pound12 mil-

Highclere Castle is Downton Abbey

lion pound18 million of which was urgently needed just for the castle And then came Downton Abbey In addition to the mini-seriespay ments for the use of the estate the increase in tourist trafficat High clere Castle has provided funding for maintenance and repairs The life of this castle continues because Downton Abbey has inspired the public and peeked interest in Highclere Castle

The power of storytelling cannot be overestimated Fiction if imaginatively conceived and professionally executed can be a very powerful game changer Think of what the Anne of Green Gables books have done for Cavendish PEI One can speculate on what would have been possible if in Lucy Maud Montgomerys stories Anne had attended Alma College in St Thomas Would that build ing have been restored and become a tourist attraction instead of being torched What if Fulford Place in Brockville or Casa Lorna were to be used in a successful mini-series (Casa Lorna has been used for filming but not as a central anchor of any show) In the heritage sphere we need to understand the parameters of and learn how to effectively use storytelling for heritage preservation

Toronto If enacted this Bill will amend

various statutes such as the Planning Act Ontario Heritage Act and Funeral Burial and Cremation Services Act so that there

will be no appeals to the OMB for matters within the borders of the City of Toronto For example under the Ontario Heritage Act there will be no appeals to the OMB for (i) consents to demolish or remove a building or structure [from a protected property] and (ii) appeals with respect to heritage conservation districts

The Bill is intended to change the rela tionship in law between the City of Toron to and the OMB Currently under various statutes that govern landusc planning cer tain municipal decisions can be appealed to the OMB Amendments proposed in Bill 20 eliminate those rights of appeal with

respect to decisions of the City of Toronto Amendments also eliminate a right to make certain other types of applications to the OMB with respect to the City

These proposed changes do not neces sarily throw out the OMBs function with no replacement The Bill authorizes the City to establish one or more appeal bod ies to hear any of these planning matters and to hear such other matters as the City considers appropriate The result might be to eliminate the OMBs work in Toronto

Heritage Canada Foundation Responds to Federal Budget

Ottawa ON March 22 2013 Heritage Canada Foun dation believes that Canadas historic places are

largely overlooked by Budget 2013 putting at risk major components of our national identity and the vitality of our communities

The Budget includes significant targeted contributions for two high profile projects S8 million in new funding for the revitalization of historic Massey Hall in Toronto and S5 mil lion for the creation of a Visitor Centre at the Canadian Nation

al Vimy Memorial in France It also provides S20 million in new matching funds to encourage donations to the Nature Con servancy for the conservation of ecologically sensitive lands However it fails to earmark seed money to support the transfer of hundreds of surplus historic lighthouses out of federal gov ernment ownership and into the hands of Canadian communi ties And Parks Canada which received devastating cuts in the last budget sees no new inputs beyond SI9 million in new funding for improving highways and bridges in Canadas national parks

Ongoing deterioration of many public sites and the lack of incentives to attract Private-Sector investment to historic places represent a missed opportunity to capitalize on their economic potential said HCFs Executive Director Natalie Bull speaking from Ottawa

The budget does contain a number of measures which may have an indirect impact on historic places and heritage organizations

bull A Community Improvement Fund of S322 billion over 10 years will provide funds for municipalities to support com munity infrastructure projects The list of eligible investment categories has been expanded to include brownfield redevelop ment culture and tourism projects

bull The Building Canada Fund provides $14 billion over 10 years for infrastructure such as public transit which could help revitalize older neighbourhoods

bull There is SI25 billion over 5 years for the Investment in Affordable Housing initiative - which could include the con version of historic buildings - that provides matching dollars for provincial and territorially funded projects

bull A new temporary First-Time Donors Super Credit is designed to encourage new donors to give to charities

of The Canadian Horticulturist contains

an editorial titled The Village Park and Cemetery It reads in part

is surely a sentiment worthy of rec ommendation that leads us who live to pay respect to the deadfor them we owe many debts of love and gratitude A neglected graveyard with uncut grass brokenfences and stones that are jailing over seems to shame the living and speak loudly of their lack ofreverencefor their ancestry

Cemeteries are some of my favourite properties and I have the good fortune to have researched evaluated and written

designation reports for many Ontario cemeteries are a tangible link to ordinary individuals as well as famous people in our past Each has a unique history devel opment and growth Their monuments and vegetation are pari of our built envi ronment The inscriptions on the monu ments instruct us about local medical and

material history cultural geography his torical archaeology folklore genealogy and much more Cemeteries are an irre

placeable part of Ontarios cultural hershyitaszc

The over 5000 cemeteries in Ontario

are in diverse ownership religious institu tions trustees non profit municipal and provincial governments and agencies and private landowners Municipalities and religious groups own most of the approxi mately 2000 inactive cemeteries An inac tive cemetery is one that is no longer accepting interments or scattering but is maintained by an operator licensed by the province

Active cemeteries of heritage interest like other cultural heritage landscapes are dynamic and experience current demands that require change or additions Space is often at a premium and may result in the addition of a columbarium new plots or a more effective use of green space Mainte nance costs aging infrastructure chang ing surroundings and concerns about pub lic liability can challenge historic cemeter ies Weathering and environmental pollu tants can damage monuments and struc tures as can accidents vandalism and

neglect These pressures can lead to a diminution of those elements that give a cemetery its value as a cultural resource its architectural and landscape heritage as well as its educational interpretive and

contextual value They may also result in the loss of social and family history

When change is planned those responsible should understand the cultural heritage value of the cemetery Maintain ing the original design intent reintroduc ing historic design elements and conserv ing the layout character and other fea tures are important

The creation and management of cemeteries in Ontario is under the Funeral

Burial and Cremation Services Act

(FBCSA) the July 1 2012 successor to the Cemeteries Act and the Funeral Direc

nance interments and the partial or full closing of a cemetery The Cemeteries Regulation Unit provides advice on the interpretation of provisions in the FBCSA

Protection of cemeteries under the

FBCSA differs from the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) Though the FBCSA has provisions for neglected and abandoned cemeteries these do not neces

sarily offer protection for the features that support the culture heritage value of a cemetery Other than archaeological mat ters the protection of a cemetery under the OHA is no different than any other property being considered for its cultural heritage value or interest

The protection of cemetery property under Part IV of the OHA is increasingly common Municipalities now recognise that this initiative does not affect the nor

mal operation of an active cemetery and that designation of an inactive cemetery encourages good stewardship positive public awareness and a sense of pride and ownership A well maintained and pub licly accessible inactive cemetery is the best deterrent to vandalism There are cur

rently 160 Part IV designation bylaws on file at the Ontario Heritage Trust for prop erties that include cemeteries

A well worded Statement of Cultural

Heritage Value or Interest and Description of Heritage Attributes for a cemetery property is the most important section of the designation bylaw Clearly stating the heritage significance and identifying the heritage attributes to be protected will guide future alterations to the designated property Written consent from the local municipal council is required if a pro posed alteration might affect the heritage attributes identified in the designation bylaw These could include as examples the relocation of original markers the removal of trees or other important land scape features etc Most day to day activi ties including new burials are not gener ally considered an alteration

Typical cultural heritage values and heritage attributes of a cemetery include

Design or Physical Value

N 2-8

How important to our well-being is a strong cultural and heritage

base It all depends on how one sees qual ity of life and what one considers to be of importance to that life quality

One thread of commonality through out the nations of the world is the appre ciation for beauty Once can find beauty in the form of art on canvas architecture of a structure natural formations or the

safety and durability of skillfully made buildings and monuments Man and Nature have had a competitive partner ship through the ages of trying to out-do each other in displaying beauty and per manence We can talk about our modern

marvels and they do have a place in our society but when it comes to what gives us a feeling of belonging pride of suc cess and appreciation of human effort heritage history culture and sport win hands down

As Canadians we are blessed to

live in a land of plenty and to have freedom coupled with opportunity Take a look at our institutions and our

charitable organizations (including ser vice clubs) and you will find that with out a strong volunteer base our gov ernments would be hard pressed to get anything done So the quality of our lives is impacted by volunteerism and dedication

Presidents Message Roscoe M Petkovic

Wc at Community Heritage Ontario are dedicated to the protection and preser vation of our heritage We may be a provincial organization but we believe that when it comes to Canadian heritage and history from the tiniest hamlet to municipal and provincial heritage each matter to our nation and should not be

looked at as a bit of local history and her itage Geographically they may be local but their collective importance to what makes us Canadian must not be over

looked

When you hear people saying that the cost of protecting and restoring old buildings is far too high or that these projects do not contribute to our econo my and are only of interest to an insignificant minority you may care to enlighten them with the information taken from the Statistics Canada Cul

ture Tourism and Centre for Education

al Statistics Division 2001 study (Architecture Design and Heritage are combined as they are intertwined adding more to the economy than the world of Film)

With almost three percent of Ontarios total economy the entertain ment and creative cluster is valued at

S12 billion These industries play an important role in the provinces knowl edge based economy

Sub-sectors of the cultural economy that averaged the highest share of GDP in 2001 at the end of the period studied were Written media ($1398 billion) Broadcasting ($391 billion) Film ($266 billion) Advertising ($211 bil lion) Performing arts ($137 billion) Visual arts (SI02 billion) Libraries ($111 billion) Design (S103 billion) Recording and music publishing (SO80 billion) Heritage (SI07 billion) Archi tecture ($91 billion) Photography ($034 billion) and Festivals ($065 bil lion)

The significance of adaptive reuse cannot be overstated

N 2-9Railway Architecture of Eastern Ontario

Tracy Gayda

For the last century Smiths Falls has been a railway town It is now

home to the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario (RMEO) This museum was built on the vision of a few dedicated citizens

who acquired the old Canadian Northern Railway station in 1983 The station saw its last passenger in 1979 Over the years this group has acquired buildings and artifacts to create a chronology of railway history in Lanark County and the surrounding area

During the fall and winter of 2012shy2013 RMEO presented a series of railway stories at the old Canadian Pacific Rail-

David Jeanes explaining the Van Home Style

of railway station architecture

way Station across town in Smiths Falls Over the last fifteen years citizens have been creating a marvelous example of adaptive reuse in the transformation of this station to the Station Theatre

In February RMEO invited Andrew Jeanes and his father David to present an informative afternoon of railway architec ture in Eastern Ontario Andrew and

David are avid railway fans and have col lected a vast array of information on rail ways and rail stations in the Eastern Ontario region The afternoon gave a visu al and oral history of the different types of railways stations and the disappearing heritage of rail travel from its heyday in the late 1800s to its decline in the 1960s

Many of the stations are gone or aban doned and many of the rail lines are now part of the Ontario Trails Systems

Some interesting facts were presented during the afternoon The KingstonPem broke rail station in Kingston across from City Hall was built in 1885 from stone taken from the Market Battery walls that once stood on this site The station was in

operation until 1961 Across the city the Grand Trunk Railway station has been an endangered building for years The City and

Canadian National Railway have been bat tling back and forth while this majestic limestone station continues to deteriorate

ravaged by vandals and major catastrophes Other stations have gone on to become

excellent examples of adaptive reuse The Rotary Club in Sterling has made the Grand Trunk Railway station into its headquarters The building is a typical Van Home Style constructed in 1879 after a fire destroyed the original station Van Home Style stations are common throughout Canada and named after William Van Home who was employed in many capacities by Canadian Pacific Rail way during the late 1880s

There are few remaining details left of the Brockville to Westport rail line that delivered passengers to their destinations across Leeds and Grenville The last sta

tion of this line stands in Forthton and its

owners are hoping to restore this building It has been moved to accommodate high way upgrading Considering the neglect it has received for many years this small station continues to stand as a monument

to its railway heritage past Tracy Gayda is a member of the

The CornellCampbell House Restored

False rumours had been circulating that the historic CornellCampbell

House in Scarborough would be demol ished Reports of the boarded bam and win dows and removal of the iron fence prompt ed calls about the fate of this entire site

About 1836 Edward Cornell built a

frame cottage on Kingston Road just east of Markham Road Edward was one of

thirty seven children and stepchildren of William Cornell a descendant of a Rhode

Island colonist who settled in Scarborough about 1799 William helped build the Front Road (now known as Kingston Road) planted Scarboroughs first orchard and built the townships first saw and grist mills on Highland Creek His descendants continue to make notable contributions to

Scarboroughs development Son Edward was a member of Scarbor

oughs first council in 1850 and grandson James G Cornell served as Reeve from

1913 to 1918 James never married and

after his death in 1944 the property passed

Rick Schofield

to his niece Helen Campbell A great great granddaughter of William Cornell Helen was the wife of school teacher

Albert Campbell who later became one of Scarboroughs more prominent political figures Ab Campbell was Reeve of the township between 1957 and 1966 In 1967 he became Scarboroughs first mayor and two years later he was appoint ed chairman of Metropolitan Toronto

As the family grew the original frame cottage was enlarged In 1904 a second storey was added and the entire structure was bricked veneered More changes to the structure took place in the 1930s The result is that several styles of architecture are now incorporated into this historically significant dwelling

Designated under the Ontario Heritage Act the property remained in the family for over 190 years until it was sold to the City of Toronto several years ago The City removed the rotted iron fence and decaying brick pillars and restored them

Everything was rebuilt to replicate the original The historic house is being fully restored to serve the City for years to come A new cedar roof was completed and interior renovations begun This is yet another example of a City working to help preserve our built and natural heritage
