NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO REPEAL DESIGNATING BY-LAW UNDER THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.18 TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Gravenhurst intends to repeal the heritage designating bylaw (#2019-85), under Section 32 of The Ontario Heritage Act (R.S.O 1990, Ch. O. 18), for the following property: Vincent/Fry Residence (190 Royal Street) Town of Gravenhurst Council will consider the repeal of the heritage designating by-law at its regular meeting to be held on Tuesday, January 18th, 2022. STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST (Vincent/Fry Residence): This fine residence is worthy of commemoration owing to its uncommon architecture (in Muskoka) and its association with a prominent Gravenhurst family. In 1942, Clare Vincent acquired the property that once belonged to pioneer Joseph Brock Sr. The Vincent family were associated with a number of businesses including Vincent’s Restaurant (now Bethune Bistro), Vincent’s (Muskoka) Limited and the Muskoka Lakes Navigation Company. In addition, Dorothy Vincent married photographer Henry Fry who had a dark room in the basement of the house as well as a separate business studio. Mr. Fry earned the Order of Canada for his work. He was the official photographer of the Queen’s visit in 1959 and is also known for his images of German Prisoners of War. Cyril Vincent was mayor of Gravenhurst from 1951-1953. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the proposed designating by-law repeal is available at the Town of Gravenhurst municipal office. Please contact Angela Ghikadis, Planner during office hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday) by phone at 705-687-3412 ext. 2246 or by email: angela. ghikadis@gravenhurst.ca.
