SCHEDULE "B"
SHORT STATEMENT OF THE REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED DESIGNATION:
Built in 1908 by area builders, this public building has been
influenced by a combination of two architectural styles. The
Romanesque Revival style dominates with the heavy application
of stone and red brick. The brickwork has been recessed to
represent panels around the building.
·
The second, Empire style 1860-1880 shows in the r~nsard roof,
a point of individualistic emphasis, instead of dormers in
the Mansard roof the central porch feature is surmounted by a
gable, which is unique.
The building is ~rell preserved and a significant part of the
streetscape.
