Cc AIARATITAID VALID "WEEKEND STAR" a Hi da Sy _ & CYATVYTY MM ATINETY Yawn FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2000 - 3 1 : : . 1 ¢ _ ' | ~~ Committee considers historical designations' By John B. McClelland Weekend Star Scugog Township coun- cil has agreed to declare the War Memorial Library building on Queen St. an official heritage site. The building, on the north side of Queen at John St., was constructed in 1934 and used as a pub- lic library until about 20 years ago, when the pre- sent library on Water St. was built. Since then, it has had several uses, including a daycare centre and administrative home for the Chamber of Commerce and downtown BIA organizations. In declaring the former, library an historic site; council hopes to be able to acquire provincial grant money for renovations and repairs to the interior next year. The designation means the exterior integri- sty of the building must be "maintained. Council is also consid- ering the Manchester Hall, built in 1922, for designa- tion. But the parks and recreation committee decided Monday to first find out how much it will cost to do repairs and upgrading to the building; it's now used as a meeting place by the Port Perry Lions Club. "My concern is that this building, built in 1922, is going to need a lot of money for repairs and ongoing upkeep in the coming years," said Regional, Councillor Ken Gadsden. The committee agreed with the suggestion from Ward 3 Councillor Jim McMillen that a decision on designating the Manchester Hall be delayed until it is known what kind of price tag is involved for the necessary repairs and upgrading. However, the decision to declare the War Memorial The Port Perry Legion will be opening its doors "to the public next week, inviting everyone in to check out local Branch 419 and have some fun at the same time.

LACAC proposed Meanwhile, the parks and rec committee also heard Monday from a del- egation of the Lake Scugog Historical Society, which wants to establish a Local Architectural and Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) here to save and preserve buildings of historic signif- icance. Carey Nicholson told the parks and rec com- mittee . meeting that Scugog is one of the few communities in southern Ontario that does not have a LACAC. "We feel there is a need now (for a LACAC) because of the risk of los- ing buildings due "to increasing development pressures," she said. Mrs. Nicholson told the committee that with- out a LACAC in place, historically significant buildings are at the mercy of their current owners who may not be aware of the history of a building, or simply may not care about it. Once in place, a LACAC has the power to designate certain struc- tures as historically important, to make sure the exterior integrity is maintained and to pre- vent it from being demolished.
