There were members of the Society from as far away as Newfoi.indland, Calgary and Michigan and others from London, Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec. Canadian architectural expert Anthony Adamson who was on the tour, commented that Huron County was fortunate -to have its town halls. Adamson, who is also the author of several books on Canadian ar- chitecture, explained that in early days town halls were also used as market places. "Butchers were commonly found in town halls," he said. "In the beginning there were few permanent public of- ficials and the natural ' activity in any public meeting place was selling." Adamson also stated that, "In many parts of Ontario, towns had grandiose visions of their future and built town halls out of proportion to their localities. They became white elephants. Huron County was prosperous and built in proportion." The architectural buffs were amazed at restoration which has been done on Exeter town hall, the Van Egmond Residence and the Huron County Gaol here. They praised many of the more common aspects of area architecture too, such as the cream -colored bricks used in most of the County buildings and downtown storefronts. Martin Weit, past president of the Society, said he couldn't believe the number of buildings with white bricks in the area. "White brick is used in Ottawa but only around windows and doors. T thought it was quite rare." Wanda Idyll', an ar- chitecture and restoration" professor at St. Lawrence College in Brockville agreed and said she had never seen white brick used• .com- monly before. In Seaforth, the group learned from Belle Campbell, a Seaforth historian and author, that there was a great fire in 1876 in which the whole downtown area was razed. It was rebuilt all over the same period explaining the uniform style and age of the stretch of storefronts. The town hall built after the fire, later burned in 1891 and another was constructed after two years of discussion, added Miss Campbell. In Clinton, too, the group learned that fire had destroyed the original town hall. A new hall was constructed in 1879 and although it has since been all but abandoned by municipal activities, a citizen's group is trying to get the town to restore it as a town hall once again. Many Huron County homes were pointed out as excellent examples of Victorian architecture, quite different from the symmetrical a Georgian style common in eastern Ontario. Victoria style means •buildings were erected during the later part of Queen Victoria's reign and have ornate decorations on them, often carved wood known as gingerbread.
