To the editor
Sir:
This letter is a foreninner
to a sample-type petition which
will be seen in your community
regarding our County's proposal
to tear down the jail wall ad-
jacent to the Assessment Build-
ing in Goderich to make way for
an a.ddition and parking facili-
ties.
Why Concern?
The fort-like structure, which
is situated on valuable land has
been considered "unproductive"
in the eyes of our reeves since
it lost it's last inmate a couple
of years ago. Therefore it is
now considered “feasible" to eat
away at the property for other
County purposes. Should the
county go ahead with it's plans
it will quite effectively deface
the building which, while over
130 years old, is also archi-
tecturally unique, structurally
sound, and imposing in nature.
The Ministry of Colleges and
Universities, Historical and
Museums Branch, Archives of
Ontario is interested in seeing it
kept as a museum and feel it
could become nationally and in-
ternationally noteworthy. Of
course, as such, it would divert
tourist. interest to the entire area.
There are three alternatives
open to Council which will leave
the jail intact.
1. The acquisition of property
to the West which has not been
investigated as of January 26.
2. An addition to the North
with parking option on Gloucester
Terrace.
3. Huron County owns the
existing building. There has
been considerable comment re-
garding overcrowded County de-
partments and Court facilities
unrelated to the Assessment
function. The County should con-
sider a new site for a larger
Assessment building and use the
existing site to alleviate crowd-
ing in other departments.
The proposed solution not only
destroys the very nature of a
historic landmark, but also
creates additional problems. No
allowance would be made for
additional parking and the exist-
ing "cramped and crammed"
appearance would become even
more so.
The Jail, as it now stands, is
unique to North. America and has
been publicized in both Weekend
Magazine and the British Press.
Furthermore, the oldest Archi-
tects' magazine in Britain has
established a fund to preserve
this structure. Interested per-
sons in the Seaforth area are
asked to, contact Mrs. Shirley
Dinsmore, 31 West Street.
Sincerely,
J. Van den Broeck
Save jail wall
