By-law Number 6337-21 Page 3 of 3 Schedule “B” Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The property known municipally as 15243B Yonge Street contains a 2 storey brick commercial building designed in an Italianate architectural style located in the heart of Aurora’s historic downtown at the southeast corner of Yonge Street and Wellington Street East. Constructed in 1889, Whimster’s store has contained a number of long-standing commercial businesses, which indicates the importance of the building for trade in the town. James Whimster was the first tenant and he operated a dry goods/grocery on site between 1889 and 1928. In 1928 the business was purchased by the Ardill family; they later purchased the building. Ardill’s slowly moved away from the general store business to concentrate on clothing and sporting goods. Ardill’s was a fixture in the historic business core until moving to Newmarket in 1974. In more recent times the building has been occupied by a number of businesses, including: the Aurora Banner, Green Books, and CKVR television. 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: • frieze of metal medallions framed by shallow brick corbels on Yonge Street façade; • decorative metal cornice; and • parapet wrapped around to the side elevation.
