WIIITBY FEE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 1, 1i9M0. PAGE 27 Fi*tzgerald iexhibit honors stati*on's designation By (jRAH AMFIELD Sunday, October 5, 19801 will see a remarkablt display of co-operation and mutual interest between severai of Whity's cultural organizations. On this day, members 0f Whitby Arts In- corporated, the Brooklin Horticultural Society, the Whitby Historical Society and the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (L.A.C.A.C.) w111 gather not oniy Io makr the designation of The Station Gallery as a historic site under the Ontario Heritage Act but also to inaugurate the formai Ian- dscaping of the gallery site. At the same time, those in attendance .,iii be able to in- speet the important Lemoine Fitzgerald exhibition which Whitby Ar- ts has mounted to celebrate its tenth anniversary in The Station Gallery, will see the unveiling of the gallery's fir- st piece of outdoor sculpture in the form of Peter Kolisnyk's "Ground Outline" and wiIl be able to obse~rve a print-mnaking open house in the converted 1929 side of what was then the Grand 'lrunk Railway lune between Toronto and Mon- treal. There, it replaced an earlier Grand.Trunk station ts in the community, by the town who offered the moving and rehabilitation of the structure. As a resuit, Whit- by acquired an art gallery An architectural view ç)f the Whitby Arts Station London and Port Stanley R.ailway boxcar. Designed to complement both the gallery building and the Peter Kolisnyk sculp- ture, the landscape plan for the site was produced, by Renc Thiebaud, owner of the Oshawa Garden Centre and a member of the Broklin Horticultural Society. The plan features an interesting combination of shrubs and Norway spruce. Completed as the 'Whitby Junctiun' in the falof 1903, The Station Gallery building was originally located at Byron Street on the north located on the north side of the tracks east of the Vic- toria Street crossing but now demolished. The Grand Trunk Railway operated the Whitby Jun- ction station until financial problems necessitated the takeover of the line by the *Federai Government in 1923 and the Canadian National maintained its active life un- tii 1969. Fortunately, in 1970 the station was saved from demolition by the efforts of Whitby Arts, a non-profit group of citizens dedicated to the development of the ar- and sustainel the life of an architecturaily and historically important building. A product 0f the Grand Trunk Railway's Bridge and Building Department', the Station Gallery is an excep- tionally fine example of what has been termed the trailway style', a style whose hallmark was a copious overhanging roof skirting the entire building to give protection for passengers on the platformns and entranceways. In this and in other ways detailed in the L.A.C.A.C.'s designation report, the structure represents a typical high Victorian marriage of fun- ctional planning and pic- turesque outine. The activities planned for The Station Gallery on Oc- tober 5, exemplify what is certainly a growing interest in the- cultural, social and architectural. history of Whitby and the varioub orga niza tions involve. would like to extend an-f membeý s of the pubi.. to join them in i.seir celebration.
