Lakeshore Advance Rosanne and Robert Sitlington's home at 16 Morris St., Forest has qualified for a Lambton Shores I leritage Awareness Plaque. Renovations and additions have changed the home's structure, but the original rough -sawn rafters still support the roof and the Heritage Awareness Plaque Committee deemed the home worthy of historical note in Lambton hores. The I leritage Awareness Plaque Committee is a subcommittee of Lamb - ton Shores Communities in Bloom, which believes honouring our historical build- ings expands our sense of community. A plaque showing the construction year and name of the first owner will be displayed at the Sitlington home helping to bring our local history alive. Sitlington's application revealed, among other interesting facts, that Morris St. was possibly named from the plan bearing the name of the home's builder, Morris Williams. Williams had purchased 15 acres of land from Joseph I laldsworth in 1868, surveyed the property in 1875 and built the Sitlington's wood -frame home there in 1876. Any building constructed in Lambton Shores in 1920 or before is eligible for consideration of a I leritage Awareness Plaque. The I leritage Awareness Plaque pro- gram provides an application package that contains a reference sheet and help- ful tips on how to research your building. With a little detective work, you too may uncover important or interesting local history.
