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 15216 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to the proposed designation of the Property served on the Town, or a person who has served a notice of objection has withdrawn the objection; And whereas the Council of the Town deems it necessary and expedient to enact a by- law to designate the Property to be of cultural heritage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 Schedule "B". 3. The Town Clerk shall serve a copy of this by-law on the owner of the Property and the Ontario Heritage Trust and publish notice of this by-law in a newspaper having general circulation in the municipality. 4. The Town Solicitor shall register against the Property in the proper Land Registry Office, a copy of this by-law including an Affidavit of the Town Clerk respecting the giving of notice referenced herein to be attached to and forming part of this by-law. Enacted by Town of Aurora Council this 30th day of March, 2021. Michael de Rond, Town Clerk By-law Number 6327-21 Page 2 of 4 Schedule “A” Description of Property 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, municipally known as 15216 Yonge Street, and being composed of Part of Lot 13, W/S Yonge Street, Plan 9, Aurora, being all of PIN 03652-0051 (LT), including the primary building thereon. By-law Number 6327-21 Page 3 of 4 Schedule “B” Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The Odd Fellows Block located at 15216 Yonge Street has cultural value as a late nineteenth century “commercial vernacular” building. It is built tight to the Yonge Street property line. It is a simple rectilinear two storey yellow brick structure with a low sloping roof which is built tight to the Yonge Street property line. The building façade was rebuilt in 1923. The new façade maintained the “commercial vernacular” style and was sympathetic to its adjoined buildings. There is a decorative double corbelled brick parapet with recessed panels. Brick pilasters divide the upper portion of the building into two asymmetrical bays within each of which are a single and double high window openings. It has historical value based on its association with the development of the early main street of Aurora. It was constructed by a local building syndicate in 1887 following the great fire of 1887. The syndicate formed to build the Andrew’s, Odd Fellows, and Clift buildings, which then became known as the “Syndicate Block”. The Syndicate Block reflects the cooperation of owners and craftspeople that resulted in a visually linked building block of which parts were constructed using the same materials and style of design. This similarity of design allowed smaller buildings to appear like a larger building of greater significance. This design and building practice contributes to an understanding of how smaller towns created an appearance of prosperity and cohesion on the main street during the later nineteenth century. The building is associated with the Independent Order of the Odd Fellow, a fraternal organization that involved many local community members, over much of its history. The building has contextual value as a contributing building to the historic main street streetscape of Aurora. It is adjoined to the listed Andrew’s and Clift Buildings and is located directly across the street from the designated Post Office Building. The Syndicate Block acts as an anchor for the west side of the historic downtown’s main street. The building continues its historic uses with retail at the main level and residential and or business uses above. Visually the Odd Fellows Block contributes to the unifying features of the historic streetscape whose buildings are predominantly low sloped roofed, brick of two storeys in height with decorative masonry parapets and metal 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; • two asymmetrical bays of the second level divided by brick pilasters; • corbelled brick parapets; • the high window openings of the second level complete with manufactured stone lintels and sills; • single and paired arrangement of one pane over one panel windows of the second level; By-law Number 6327-21 Page 4 of 4 • two (2) recessed store entrances at street level; • height of storefront cornice (extant wood cornice if covered by awning signs); and • storefront glazing configuration including knee wall.
