Open house on August 14 August 3, 1983 Pogo 13 Seniorsbuilding features The senior citizens apart- ments rapidly taking shape in Hensall promises to become on of the village's most distinctive buildings. One of the structure's unusual features is the brick -coloured tile roof. The Marley roof, originating in England 60 years ago, was introduced in- to Canada 18 months ago. Though initially more expen- sive than conventional roofs, PROGRESSING RAPIDLY — The 22 -unit seniors apartment is quickly taking shape. One of its attractive and unusual features is the Marley tiled roof. this roof is guaranteed for 50 years. English workmen put the attractive curved tiles in place; few Canadians have as yet been trained to work with this innovative construction material. Another feature not often found in two-storey bi ildings is an elevator to assist residents to more easily transport themselves and their groceries and other belongings from one floor to another. All 22 units willbe carpeted wall to wall not only in the liv- ing room but in the bedrooms too, another extra touch. The building will be heated electrically, assisted in battl- ing winter chills by R32 in- sulation in the ceilings and R20 in the walls. Site superintendent Tom Neilands, Hensall, said he has worked on , CMHC-financed seniors housing projects in Baden and London, and is really impressed with the quality of the Hensall complex. "It's really high class...1 don't know how the planning committee did it," was his considered opinion. A two-week delay caused by the cold wet weather of late spring has since been eliminated, and all work is now on schedule. The public will be invited to an open house on Sunday, August 14 from 2 to 4 in the afternoon to tour the building. One of the suites will be com- pletely furnished, com- pliments of Whitings, who volunteered to supply all necessary articles. Local people have been us- ed wherever possible. The electrical contractor is J. Rasenburg, Exeter, and Gor- don Slaght, Crediton, has responsibility for the plumbing. Hensall Senior Citizens Housing committee member Irene Davis said six prospec- tive tenants have already signed leases, and more presently on holidays have expressed a similar intention.
