The Corporation of the Town of Aurora
By-law Number 6330-21
Being a By-law to designate a property to be of cultural heritage value or
interest {15222, 15224 and 15226 Yonge Street "The Faughner 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 15222, 15224, and 15226 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served on the Town, or a person who has served a notice of objection has withdrawn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
designated to be of cultural heritage value or interest.
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

All and singular those certain parcels or tracts of land and premises situate, lying and
being in the Town of Aurora, in the Regional Municipality of York, and being composed
of:
(a) Part of Lot 14, W/S Yonge Street, Plan 9, Aurora, being all of PIN 03652-0048

known as 15224 and 15226 Yonge Street.
By-law Number 6330-21 Page 3 of 4
Schedule “B”
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The Faughner Building has cultural value as representative example of the “commercial
vernacular” style built in the nineteenth century with additional Classical Revival
elements. The simple rectilinear two storey massing, high masonry parapet, now
demolished, with a low sloping roof are typical of the “commercial vernacular” style. The
decorative buff brick proscenium arch and banding, the projecting decorative metal roof
cornice, and window pediments of the second floor over impossibly tall, slender
windows are Classical Revival elements. Despite the storefront’s unsympathetic
alterations, it maintains its original configuration. It is built tight to the Yonge Street
property line.
It has historical value based on its association with the development of the early main
street of Aurora as a retail and commercial hub. Built in 1875, it is the earliest extant
structure on the west side of the main street and the oldest brick structure in the
Historic Downtown. It was built with a hall on the second level that follows the early
tradition of community use above storefronts at grade. The Royal Templars of
Temperance and the Mechanics’ Institute were amongst the community groups the
used the second floor hall. The ground floor had multiple retails uses. It was the site of
the town’s first bank and later a private bank operated by Mr. J. M. Walton - a prominent
businessman and mayor of Aurora from 1923 to 1928.
The building has contextual value as a contributing building to the historic main street
streetscape of Aurora. On the west side of Yonge Street the Faughner Building is only
remaining heritage building between the Lloyd/Ashton Block (1882) at the north and the
Syndicate Block (1887) at the south. It is crucial to supporting the character of the
heritage main street streetscape. Visually the Faughner Building contributes to the
unifying features of the historic main streetscape that developed in the nineteenth
century along the west side of Yonge Street, which was in the “commercial vernacular”
style characterized by buildings that were low sloped roofed, brick, two storeys in height
with a high second storey and decorative masonry parapets, and/or metal roof cornices.
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;
• the fieldstone foundation;
• the exposed brick south wall;
• the redbrick Flemish bond masonry of the façade;
• the buff brick proscenium like arch and stringcourse all in relief of the facade;
• the projecting metal roof cornice complete with cove molding, box dentils, and
paired scroll corner scroll brackets. The cornice returns complete with an
additional set of brackets;
By-law Number 6330-21 Page 4 of 4
• the masonry window openings of the second level complete with double soldier
course flat arched lintels and monolithic manmade stone sills;
• the metal window pediments supported by long narrow decorative brackets; and
• the configuration of the ground level with a wider storefront to the south then an
entrance to the second level and a narrower storefront to the north.
