ps is the tk13une thursday mardi 28 1968 urge uxbridge twp landmark be preserved uxbridge twp its hard to see a house go down especially a good house wellconstruct ed by able artisans of long ago the metropoplitan and region conservation au thority is destroying a house that stands on pro perty it has purchased on the uxbridgereach town line just west of chalk lake neighbours people from distances and even some members of uxbridge township council are voicing objection not only because there is a housing shortage not only because the house is attractive and a landmark not only be cause it is their money that is paying for the des truction but because they feel the authority is fail ing in its function to con serve conserve in the diction ary is to keep in a safe or unimpaired state to up hold and keep from decay waste or injury to guard or defend from violation the conservation auth ority is the best thing that has happened in ontario it conserves water trees forests wildlife it con serves nature in its right ful setting creates parks ajid places to play in sum mer and winter yet a good building on the land it purchased is wrecked the house to be demol ished is over 100 years old and has been occupied for the past 54 years by one owner levi storry who in his 91st year now re sides in a nursing home perched on the top of a hill it overlooks a view of rolling hills and forests on the hottest day in sum mer it was cool within a good furnace kept it warm in winter spacious graci ous houses of a generation or two ago such as this were built to endure to house large families the walls were thick the beams strong there were a number of bedrooms and even separate quart ers for the hired man uxbridge councillor clarke t muirhead shares the views of the people that the house should not go down it is a valuable landmark he says which adds to the quality of the whole countryside the councillor suggest ed a committee be formed and said that he would support it and that he would be 100 in favor of separating the house and a few acres for a sale to someone interested in re storing it deputy reeve robert nesbitt a member of the mtrca board said that the house had been remarkably well cared for he has spoken about it to representatives of the authority who told him they didnt want to pay taxes on it nor did they want to leave it vacant for vandals he said that to his knowledge a great many of the main parts of the interior were being re moved to pioneer village i would be the first one to holler if i thought they were destroying them he said residents say that the lovely staircase in the house has already been moved to pioneer village mr nesbitt still has mixed feelings about it and can understand the feelings of both factions the lot on which the house stands is close to the road and could be separated easily from the total 240 acres of this conservation owned par cel there are those who are scouring the country for old houses with their quiet aging brick their fretwork and verandahs it is surprising how many appear not to enjoy mod ern housing practical tliough it is for character and stability come with age money acquired from the sale of this house and other buildings that have been demolished could further the excellent con servation program and re lieve the already overbur dened taxpayer the house too would lend itself to exhibits of early life in ontario or wildlife specimens and an information centre so another old house is lost unless an individual or a group can do some thing about it quickly be fore the blow of the ham- iier has beaten it into the ground hundreds of people who visit the chalk lake area and describe it as one of the most beauti ful spots in ontario will see no more the strong old house keeping its vigil on
