Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, October 11, 2016 By-law No. 5905-16 Page 2 of 4 By-law Number 5905-16 Page 3 of 4 Schedule "B" Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The cultural heritage value of the property derives from its architectural, historical and contextual values. The Parteger House has cultural heritage value as it is representative of the region's historical farming community and its regional importance to emergency operations of Metropolitan Toronto during the Cold War. Physical Design Value Built circa 1875, The Parteger House is a unique example of mid-19th Century rural architecture in Aurora. The original farmhouse is a two (2) storey brick structure with a side gable roof, which is a good example of Ontario House architecture. In the 1930's, the farmhouse expanded by adding a matching second side gable roof, connected to the original farmhouse with a cross-gable join. At this time, a causeway and garage was also constructed at the rear of the 1930's rear addition to create the current Ell- Shaped design of the home. Upon purchase of the property by Metro Toronto in 1962, the house and basement were strengthened and a 10.6 x 18.3 metre concrete bunker was added on the south side of the main building. Above ground, a main entranceway to the bunker was added onto the south elevation, an emergency escape port was constructed at the centre point of the bunker. The bunker and the existing basement contains relics from the cold war including emergency water tanks, an illuminated map of Metro Toronto evacuation routes and telecommunication lines. Historical /Associative Value: The Parteger House is historically associated with the Parteger and Cosford families, who farmed the property and surrounding lands in Whitchurch and King Townships. In 1962, during the height of the Cold War, Metropolitan Toronto purchased the house and 1 .4 acre site to use as a bunker and readiness centre in the case of a nuclear attack on Toronto. The bunker itself was not designed to survive a nuclear blast, but was equipped with maps and information on food and water supplies, police and fire stations, and a board for keeping track of casualties. It was used for this purpose until 1976, thereafter being used as a training centre by the Toronto Emergency Task Force. The property continued to serve as a training centre until the early 1990's. Contextual Value: The Parteger House is located on the east side of Old Yonge Street, which served as a route for early travelers as the surveyed route for Yonge Street to the west went through swampy ground. Although setback behind new residential development on Old Yonge Street, the farmhouse can be viewed prominently from Old Yonge Street and St. John's Sideroad. The Parteger House along with the Red House and Willow Farm are all that is left of "Cosford's Corners", centred on Yonge Street and St. John's Sideroad. Cosfords Corners was a land parcel owned by Thomas Cosford, which included homes of prosperous farmers, small dwellings, a sawmill, a blacksmith and a carriage shop. The bunker itself serves as a reminder of the centre's regional importance during the Cold War.
