«_ Downtown Perspective In Bavaria, glockenspiels‘ are decorated with characters of local folklore. Here, it was felt, the Baâ€" varian folklore might not be readily appreciated by the Oktoberâ€"tourists, (and perâ€" haps by our own locals), so the idea was presented that a fairyâ€"tale motif might be used, Little Red Riding Hood was suggested; this would allow the use of happy woodchoppers, slyly grining The one proposed in Waâ€" terloo would be similar. It would be about 10 feet square and 35 feet high (about the floor area of two busâ€"stop shelters, but the height of a fourâ€"storey apartment building). This is somewhat larger than the one in Kitchener, a concept that seemed to impress our civic leaders. (Continued from page 1} When lawyers went back to the court for clarificaâ€" tion, it ruled that it would not comment on the limitaâ€" tions question, calling the raising of this ‘"premature." The commission then laid For the benefit of those of you who haven‘t met one, a glockenspiel is a largeâ€"size musical implement, which is programmed to play Baâ€" varian (Oktoberfest) tunes at regular intervals. An exâ€" ample of the breed inhabits downtown Kitchener. It is located at the corner of King and Benton Streets, in the park named *‘Speakers‘ Corners‘‘ which replaced the old Kitchener Post Ofâ€" fice. Its‘ dulcet tones ring out among the buildings three times per day in winter and five times per day in summer. sion and the Supreme Court ruled in September that his dismissal be set aside and ordered a new hearing. . Recently a representative of Kâ€"W Oktoberfest Inc. atâ€" tended a Waterloo Council meeting and made a propoâ€" sal which was greeted with a fair amount of enthusiasm by the mayor and several members of Council. This proposal was that Waterloo needs a glockenspiel.

Waterloo Council, hoâ€" wever, have approved the idea in principle and have committees at work evaâ€" luating the idea. The location which has been proposed is the park in front of Labatt‘s brewery. This is the park which preâ€" sently contains the Labatt‘s sign; this could be removed so that the glockenspiel would be visible from the full length of the ‘business part of King St. This is also the park which has a founâ€" tain and paths between the hedgeâ€"rows, and trees, and the only park benches in the downtown where one can sit in green shade in the sumâ€" mer. Architecturally, glockenâ€" spiels are normally done in a Bavarian style, which would be brick and halfâ€" timber. Mayor Carroll felt that one in Waterloo should be architectually compaâ€" tible with the nearby buildâ€" ings. This would seem to rule out the Bavarian motif; it was never used in Waâ€" terloo. During the pioneerâ€" ing era in Waterloo, condiâ€" tions precluded such fanâ€" tasies; during the post pioneer era the architecture was Pennsylvaniaâ€"Dutch Georgian, and the industrial era of the last hundred years, during which the maâ€" jority of the downtown built never included neoâ€" Bavarian architecture. wolves, sick grandmothers and other typically Baâ€" varian characters.

It is presentâ€" ly the location of Alan Rigby House of Furniture. The office was moved to the Devitt Block. Two rooms and a vault were rented at the sum of $100 annually. (The cleaning lady received $16.) They remained here for ten years until June 1879, when they built on the corner of Erb and Albert Streets. This structure was used for thirty years and was sold to The Dominion Life Assurance Company in 1908. It is now owned by The Waterloo Mutual Insurance Company. The Mutual Life building at the corner of King and Union in Waterioo is one of the oldest and most historic commercial facilities in the city. ; NOTICE TOâ€"CITY OF WATERLOO RESIDENTS In the summer of 1979, the three faces of the originâ€" al 1911 building were designated by LACAC as having historical value and being architecturally noteworthy. When moving into the new head office, the General Manager, Mr. Wegenast, was heard to say, "Gentlieâ€" men, we will never fill it." This seems ironic today when the observer can see the expanse of the five adâ€" ditions to the original structure. The company bought seven acres for $18,000 and hired Toronto architect, Frank Darling, to design a new head office. The style is modern renaissance and cost $235,000 to build. For years it has been considered one of the most attractive buildings in Canada. by Karen Redman for The Waterioo Chamber of Commerce As a child, no one could have convinced me that Waâ€" terloo did not have a castle complete with prince and dragons. Unfortunately, reality caught up with these childhood fantasies. But the building still resembles a palace. The Mutual Life building has grown substanâ€" tially since the original structure facing King Street on the corner of King and Union was constructed in 1911.

That is how Brown was fired one year and three months ago, but the court said it couldn‘t use the OPC The only other way an ofâ€" ficer can be dismissed is for a commission to act on the recommendation of the OPC following an enquiry by it. In 1967, the fifth addition fronting on Park and Union Streets was added. It increased the existing ofâ€" fice space by fifty percent. Again the architects, Marani, Rounthwaite and Dick, from Toronto atâ€" tempted to integrate the new with the old. Precast concrete was used to blend with the other building and the design is a contemporary interpretation of the classical proportions and regularity of the earlier building. The roof levels follow those of the existing roofs and the main horizontal lines of the structure were maintained. The same architects that did the 1967 addition deâ€" signed the addition added in 1976. The two structures blend as one with only minor external changes such as the use of thermal windows to aid insulation and heatâ€" ing efficiency. This addition was along Caroline and Park Streets and completes the square of the former structures. It increased the office space by fifty per cent and included an underground receiving area. If any additional space is required, a tower will be constructed above the 1976 addition. The need is not anticipated to arise until 1985.
