CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF WHITBY IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT, R.S.O. 1980, C. 337 AND IN THE MATTER OF THE LANDS AND PREMISES AT THE FOLLOWING MUNICIPAL ADDRESS IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO NOTICE OF PASSING OF BY-LAW TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Whitby has passed By-law No. 2286-87 to designate the following property as being of architectural and/or historical value or interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1980, c. 337: The David Briggs House 175 Myrtle Road East Whitby, Ontario REASONS FOR DESIGNATION OF 175 MYRTLE ROAD EAST Historical This house was built in 1856 for the notable Briggs family. The house, part of Maplegrove Farm, remained in the Briggs family for 151 years and remains relatively untouched by modernization. Architectural (1) The Briggs House is a well preserved and intact example of a mid-century amalgam of Greek Revival and Regency styles, typical of the vernacular idiom. (2) The main, north facade doorway and all the north and south block windows retain their original glass panes and intact wood elements. (3) The late century treillage porch is a good example of the prefabricated production during the 1800's. (4) The integral carriage house with its double doors is an interesting feature of the original design. (5) The newel caged staircase, window and door casings, doors on the ground and second floors, and baseboard mouldings throughout the interior of the north block display exceptional craftmanship in fabrication and "graining" of the simulated wood finish. (6) The outhouse, an original feature of the property, displays many fine and delightful features from the copper plated barrel vault roof, to the trough access hatch. (7) Sufficient evidence remains of the finely corbelled chimneys of the north block and the wooden hearth to reconstruct the hearth and chimney of the south block kitchen.
