Notice of application to repeal Heritage Designation By-law 18-88 for 259 Western Avenue, Delhi

Take notice that an application has been received under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act to repeal By-law 18-88, which designates the property municipally known as 259 Western Avenue, Delhi.

The property, which dates from 1891, is located at the corner of Western Avenue and Quance Street in Delhi. The building was designated in 1988 for its significance in relation to its original builder-owners, Hannah and Robert Quance, who were important citizens of Delhi. Robert, along with his brother Peter, opened a milling and manufacturing company that contributed to the well-being of the community for many years.

Architecturally, the dwelling is an example of the Picturesque Eclectic style of the period. While it has lost its most valuable feature, the front verandahs, it remains significant for its elevations, including all window and door openings, and its roofline, including the eaves and brackets.

Take notice that the purpose of the application is to repeal the designation by-law, thereby removing the property's heritage status.

Take notice that any person may, within 30 days of the publication of this notice, submit written comments or objections to the Clerk of Norfolk County.
