The Corporation of the Town of Aurora
By-law Number 6331-21
Being a By-law to designate a property to be of cultural heritage value or
interest (15225 Yonge Street "Winter·s Bakery").
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

(the 'Town") approved the recommendations contained in Report No. HAC18-008, to
designate the property municipally known as 15225 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;

served on the Town, or a person who has served a notice of objection has withdrawn

follows:
1.The Property, as described on the attached Schedule "A", be and is hereby

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
15225 Yonge Street, and being composed of Part of Lot 1 E/S Yonge Street, Plan 68,
Part 1, Plan 65R6220, Aurora, being all of PIN 03651-0031 (LT), including the primary
building thereon.
By-law Number 6331-21 Page 3 of 4
Schedule “B”
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The subject property is located at 15225 Yonge Street and is colloquially known as
Winter’s Bakery. The building façade slightly encroaches on the Yonge Street property
line. Its design is that of a modest small town commercial building from the early
1800s. The design of this building has evolved from a wood structure with a gable end
fronting Yonge Street into a wood “stagefront” and storefront circa 1894 and then
reconstructed to “restore” the gable end in 1988.
It is a rectilinear two storey structure with a moderately pitched roof and low floor to
ceiling heights. The south sidewall is early twentieth century buff brick while the rear
and north wall are wood sheathing beneath asphalt cladding. The storefront
configuration with recessed entries at both sides of a bay storefront window with a
slender central mullion is from 1894. There is a well preserved Coca Cola graffiti
advertisement on the south wall that is visible from a shared walkway.
The Official Plan recognizes the northern corners of Yonge and Wellington Streets south
to Tyler and Mosely Streets as the “Historic Downtown” of the “Old Town.” The building
has historical value based on its association with the early development of the main
street of the “Historic Downtown” of Aurora. It is the oldest extant building on the main
street and harkens back to the less prosperous time of the main street of the early
nineteenth century. It has an association with G. L. Stevenson who built the building
c1850. Stevenson was a saddle and harness maker as well as a feed supplier whose
business likely attracted farmers in to the town from the surrounding area. He served on
the first Aurora Town Council and was re-elected for four terms.
In 1885 the Aurora Borealis was a tenant for a brief time, after which followed a series of
bakers between 1888 and 1905. Since 1942, barbers have consistently leased or owned
the building.
The building has contextual value as a contributing historic main street building. It is the
only building on the main street with a gabled end facing Yonge Street. It is the most
modest building along the main street with a narrow frontage and low floor to ceiling
height. It is the only example of the built form common to the early 1800s within the
historic downtown of this main street. The storefront constructed c. 1894 visually links
the building with the other “commercial vernacular” style buildings 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 and pitched roof with gable end;
• the buff brick masonry of the south wall;
• the two double hung windows of the second floor;
• the configuration of the storefront with recessed entries at either side;
• the slender structural mullions of the storefront;
By-law Number 6331-21 Page 4 of 4
• central bay window storefront glazing divided at the partition with the slenderest
of mullions;
• the height of the storefront, entry door with transom, and knee walls;
• quatrefoil decorative wood trim above the storefront;
• the tongue and groove wood soffit of the recessed entries; and
• the Coca Cola graffiti on the south wall of the building.
