nE rn Stc It hashbeen said by Walt Whitman that "Architecture is what you do to a building when you look at it." Whitby's LACAC sees many different things when it looks at buildings. The LACAC does not just see that which is esthetic in a building, and it does not necessarily search for a conformity of style. The LACAC's aim is to preserve heritage by protecting buildings that reflect the past. Our heritage has proven to be of unique character, each building a style in itself, acquired through the people which have inhabited it over the years. Whitby*s Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Commit- tee (LACAC) is a volunteer citizen's comnittee of council, funded by the municipality to recomment heritage property designatibns in Whitby. The LACAC also undertakes many activities aimed at encouraging an awareness of our local architectural heritage. The Town, since January, has designated several bouses in Whitby: the Adams-Beckrnan house and the William Robson boeuse on Byron St. N.; the Robert Spence house at 709 Centre St. S., and the Chronicle Offlice (formerly Cedrick's Dining Lounge) on Brock St. N. The Chronicle Office bas recently benefitted from a designated property grant with the restoration of the windows from its original facade. In 1989, the LACAC has also recommended the designation of the Donald Wilson bouse at 519 Dundas St. E., the James Borehaxnbouse at 400 King St., and the Fothergill b ouse beside Whitby Toyota on Dundas St. W. The Fothergill bouse, now in a poor state of repair, was built in 1883 by John Josbua Fotbergill, son of Charles Fotbergill, a noted political figure and a naturalist in early Upper Canada. In 1825, Charles Fothergill was tbe first person to propse a federal goverrnent for Upper and Lower Canada. Whitby's LACAC also intends te designate the Lynde House, located at Cullen Gardens on Taunton Rd. W. The Lynde House was purcbased by Cullen Gardens and moved to the new location to avoid demolition. LACAC bas made plans for Heritage Day on Sept. 16. The scheduie of events for Heritage Day include a walkcing tour of mnany of tbe designated buildings in downtown Whitby, led by Brian Winter, the Tow archivist, and several displays and sbows. There will also be a plaque presentation downtown te tbe owners of three recently desig- nated properties, tbe William Robson bouse, tbe Robert Spence bouse, and tbe' Chronicle Office.
