The Corporation of the Town of Aurora
By-law Number 6325-21
Being a By-law to designate a property to be of cultural heritage value or
interest (15203 Yonge Street "Butcher Building").
Whereas under subsection 29(1) of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. 0.18, as
amended, the council of a municipality may, by by-law, designate a property within the
municipality to be of cultural heritage value or interest;
And whereas on June 12, 2018, the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Aurora
(the 'Town") approved the recommendations contained in Report No. HAC18-008, to
designate the property municipally known as 15203 Yonge Street, as described on the
attached Schedule "A" (the "Property") to be of cultural heritage value or interest;
And whereas the Town Clerk caused notice of the intention to designate the Property to
be served on the owner of the Property and the Ontario Heritage Trust and published in
a newspaper having general circulation in the municipality;
And whereas there were no objections to the proposed designation of the Property
served on the Town, or a person who has served a notice of objection has withdrawn
the objection;
And whereas the Council of the Town deems it necessary and expedient to enact a by-
law to designate the Property to be of cultural heritage value or interest;
Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Aurora hereby enacts
as follows:
1. The Property, as described on the attached Schedule "A", be and is hereby

2. A statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the Property and
a description of the heritage attributes of the Property are set out on the attached

having general circulation in the municipality.

Schedule “A”

being in the Town of Aurora, in the Regional Municipality of York, municipally known as

By-law Number 6325-21 Page 3 of 3
Schedule “B”
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The Butcher Building has cultural value as the only example of a Queen Anne Revival
style stagefront façade on the historic main street. The building was constructed with a
pitched roof c.1860, while the façade and foundations date to 1885. The building is built
tight to the property line and there is a shared laneway to the south which has always
provided access to the second level.
The building is a rectilinear, two storey structure with brick veneer on the upper façade
and the south elevation. The parapet has bands of decorative brickwork and is topped
by a cove metal cornice supported by decorative metal brackets. The second storey
masonry façade is punctuated only by a high oriel window. The height of the historic
storefront’s cornice is readily identified by a horizontal band.
The Official Plan recognizes the northern corners of Yonge Street at Wellington Street
extending south to the south side of Tyler and Mosely Streets as the “Historic
Downtown” of the “Old Town.” The building has historical value based on its association
with the development of the main street of the “Historic Downtown” of Aurora.
The Butcher Building was initially constructed by William Atkinson prior to 1860 as a
simple gabled roof wood structure. Along with the building at 15225 Yonge Street, it is
one of the earliest buildings constructed on the main street. These are the only two
surviving pitched roof buildings of the main street.
The building was damaged in a fire in 1865. The Butchers purchased the property in
1871. Rachel Butcher and her husband, Charles, undertook improvements in 1885
including: putting the building on a stone foundation, cladding a stagefront façade and
the south wall in brick. Rachel and her husband operated a general and millinery shop
out of the property until 1902.
The building has contextual value as a contributing building in the historic streetscape
of the main street. The massing with the pitched roof hidden behind the stagefront
façade is representative of main street commercial buildings in Aurora prior to 1880
while the stagefront design of the façade dating to 1885 mimics the “commercial
vernacular” style that dominates the historic streetscape of the main street.
Description of Heritage Attributes
Important to the preservation of the property are the original key attributes that express
its value, which include the following exterior elements:
• the building massing, masonry, and masonry openings of the stagefront façade
and south elevation;
• the brick parapet decorated by two rows of corbelled brick, dentils, and a raised
frieze;
• metal stagefront cornice complete with coves, and decorative scroll brackets
that return at both ends;
• the wood oriel window with decorative wood panelling over and deep panelling
under complete with low slope metal roofing; and
• the height of the band delineating the storefront.
