Appeal of heritage designation dismissed; former Quaker meeting house meets criteria for cultural heritage value.
The appellant appealed the municipality's by-law designating a former Quaker meeting house as a property of cultural heritage value under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The appellant argued the property lacked design and contextual value due to alterations and insufficient analysis of its relationship to the historic area.
The Tribunal accepted the respondent's expert evidence that the property is a representative example of a muted Gothic Revival style consistent with Quaker values and that its physical characteristics support the character of the historic district.
The appeal was dismissed, and the designation was upheld.
