WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER il, 1985, PAGE 9 But only if current site can't be purchased.... ACO wants Lynde'House moved to publie land By JAN DODGE Free Press Staff The Durham Branch of the Architectural j Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) will' make a presentation on the fate of Lynde House (Whitby Museum) to Whitby Town Council's ad- mîinistrative committee *next Monday night. Rod Angevaare, president of ACO, bopes to gain permission from the administrative committee to present a report to council the following week. In the report Angevaare hopes to be specific about moving costs and staffing costs for relocating Lynde House from Dundas and D'Hiler to Cullen Gar- dens, on Taunton Rd. Angevaare said that members of bis executive, including a retlred accountant, have been working hard to come up with realistic figures. It Is Angevaare's con- tention that once the true cost figures are known for the move, purehasing the land on whlch it now stands wil not appear out of the question. Angevaare also wants to suggest alternatives to the move. Purcbasing the lot, or if that is too expensive, moving the museum to another less expensive lot on the mame property are two possibiities. If the house must be moved, he said it sbouhd be moved to public land not to a privately-owned tourlst attraction such as Cullen Gardens. He was doubtful of the advantage of baving tbousands of people constantly visiting the bouse. jAngevaare suggested jCentennial Park, next to the Information Centre. There be said it would be on town land, in a beautiful setting, ac- cessible to tourists, visible, and witb its proxlmity to the Seniors' Activity Cen- tre, migbt draw on seniors for staffing. Angevaare said a move to Cullen Gardens $don a postage stamp- size lot in a Disney-land setting" would be a last resort. Left on the original site, he maid Lynde House would have room Whitby ambulance service Cauis During the week that ended at midnight last Thursday, the Witby Ambulance Service responded to 109 calîs for service. They responded to 40 calis of a routine nature and to 29 standby cahis for ambulance services in Oshawa and Ajax. The service also responded to 40 emergency calîs, in- cluding seven motor vebicle accidents. The number to cail for for expansion whicb should not spend ail that property was not a good Coun.

Hugel, chairman of LACAC (Local Ar- chitectural Conser- vation Advisory Corn- mittee) said she bad received a standard blank offer from Bar- nieki, the agent for Wittington Investmen- ts. Now sbe was in the proeess of filling in some of tbe blanks, sucli as lot size and price, for her own protection. Hugel, wbo bas a group of people willing to form a board of direc- tors to purchase tbe bouse if needed, said she has not contacted the group yet. She prefers to mnake the purchase on ber own and will only use the belp of tbe group if the price is too bigb.to go it alone. chase tbe bouse and property on whicb it Stands to preserve it on ils original site.

Since it is the man- date of the ACO to preserve buildings of outstanding historical or architectural quality, Angevaare said the ACO lias the right to speak out on the future of Lynde House. He was critical of the Whitby Historleal Society not exploring avenues other than the move to Cullen Gardens and for not consulting its memnbership. "The executive is only membership. There is an isolation between the executive and the mem- bership (at WHS). " If allowed to present the ACO report before council, Angevaare will also announce the date of a public meeting to inform people of the fln- dings in the report. "We have a commn gogaj with the WHS -to preserve the house. " He said the ACO would support the society in ahl ways, including finan- ýcial, to accomplish that goal.
