If the *council decides to proceed with designation of the Centennial Building, a bylaw must be made up and published in the press, and the owner or anyother'inter- ested persons have a certain number of deys to register any objections. The Local -Architectural Conservation Advisory Corn- mittee was formed in April 1978 by a bylaw of council with the purpose of design- ating appropriate buildings in Whitby, and has spent a year preparing an inventory of buildings worthy of consi- deration. The Centennial Building is the first building the commi- ttee has proposed for design- nation. If the building is designa- ted, the owner must submit any plans that would alter the building to the council for. approval, and if demolition is considered, 'there are a number of days allowed for a compromise to be worked out between the owner and the council. TheOn->tarjo'Heritage Act through its designation proc- ess is attempting to preserve buildings of architectural menit in communities such as Whitby where many are being demolished or altered as growth and developement occur. The Centennial Building was built in 1853 in the, Greek Revival style and designed by two noted Toronto archi- tects, Frederick Cumber- land.and William Storm. It is considered one of the most significant Iandmarks in Whitby, according to the LACAC.
