CHAPTER 122 AND IN THE MATTER OF THE LANDS AND PREMISES AT THE FOLLOWING MUNICIPAL ADDRESSES IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO: 38 Bedford Park Avenue 107 Hall Street 528 Camille Road 750 Camille Road TAKE NOTICE that the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Richmond Hill intends to designate the property, including lands and buildings, at the following municipal addresses as properties of architectural and/or histOrical value or interest under Part IV of The Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, 5.0. Chapter 122. 3) 38 Bedford Park Avenue The reason for the designation of this property, known as Crosby Hall, is that its crowning cupola and overall scale make it unique among the other styles of building within the Town. Historically it is significant as it was built fOr Parker Crosby who had established himself in the mercantile business of the community after erecting the Fireproof Store in 1855. In the interior, the house has a nicely proportioned curved staircase. . b) 107 Hall Street The reason for designation is that the house, known as Holmood, expresses well the Loyalist vernacular style of domestic architecture. The Georgian propor- tions, the rectangular central hall plan with window openings evenly spaced along the facade, give it a pleasing sense of balance and proportion. Of local historical significance is the fact that it was used by‘consecutive doctors within the Langstaff family as an office/residence and, at one time,hospital over a period of 105 years. c) 528 Cerrville Road The reason for designation of this cottage is that it is one of the earliest and historically interesting houses remaining in Richmond Hill. ln particular the front part is of stucco on plankon-plank construction and it was built by Rowland Burr, who lived there for about a decade and a half. Rowland Burr later built many residences and several mills in the Toronto area. d) 750 Carrville Road The reason for designation of this building is that it is one of the few built in Richmond Hill of vertical plank construction. Historically it was built and sewed for a number of years as a meeting place for the Canadian Conference on Evangelical Associations in North America. Later it was converted to a residence.
