Planning alarms Conservancy'
by
.loan Van den Broeck
Member and friends of the
Huron County Branch of the
Architectural Conservancy of
Ontario enjoyed a memorable
evening at the Little Inn,
Bayfield, recently
and renewed long-standing
friendship with Dr. Douglas
Richardson.
Many members remember
with fond admiration Dr.
Richardson's assistance to
the Save the Jail Society in
1973. Since then his interest
and concern for the people
and heritage movement in
Huron has never waned. Dr.
Richardson, an architectural
historian with the University
of Toronto, is well-known in
his field as an eminent
scholar and preservationist
and as author of Rural
Ontario and co-author of
Ontario Towns.
Using two projectors and
screens as visual aids, the
theme of Dr. Richardson's
lecture was urban planning
issues and heritage con-
servation. Witnessing the
devastating social affect
caused by the destruction of
the physical fabric of many
communities (for example,
buildings of , incompatible
scale, height and design are
being introduced into com-
munities with no con-
sideration given to either
their social or visual impact)
conservationists across the
Country have become
alarmed. When conservation
battles focus on individual
buildings the .public tends to
lose sight of these issues.
The 18 century concept of
the "Spirit of the Place" or
"Genius Loci" which the
Victorians applied vigorously
to their concept of community
planning has been in rapid
decline in Canada, The
demise of the rich urban
character of Canadian cities
in particular Is clearly
evident when today's
streetscapes are compared
with the same scenes of
yesteryear. A vivid
illustration of this process of
decline of character was
accomplished by using the
City of Stratford as one
example. On one screen were
1900 views of the city and on
the other were 1975 views of
the same scene. It was a
shock to witness the extent to
which the once beautiful
architecture in the ,business
district has been destroyed.
At the turn of the century
Ontario Street offered the
most splendid vistas in
Ontario. The tall buildings
made an impressive mark on
the flat landscape and the
Gordon Block, anchoring a
key position on the street-
scape, was of major visual
importance.
The commercial buildings
on Wellington Street, all three
stories in height and in-
dividualized by their roof
lines and vigorous detailing,
by appearance, strengthened
the character of the Market
Square and its ar-
chitecturally exhuberant city
hall. Today the visual impact
�f Wellington St. has been
nullified by gaps and blight.
Looking up Erie Street,
which at one time was
dominated by 1 the
strategically plackl War
Memorial and the Thomas
Fuller Post Office, the eye
•
today is now greeted by
overhead signs and roadway.
The- Post Office has been
demolished and the War
Memorial moved to another
site. This purposeful neglect
and waste of such a fine ur-
ban heritage would indicate
that the Vi,ctorian's ap-
preciation for the "Spirit of
the Place", as exemplified by
the 1900 city, seems to have
escaped us entirely.
However, there are areas
wch are treasured by
inhabitants and tourists alike
for their rich architectural
beauty. Niagara on the Lake
and Lower Town Quebec City
are good examples of com-
munities which embody this
spirit or "genius Loci". So
well favoured are they that
they are in danger of being'
loved to death!
In Huron County the op-
portunity still exists • for
communities to take stock of
their heritage buildings and
plan for the protection of
those vistas which embody
the character of the com-
munity. Indeed, small
communities today have, the
opportunity to become
leaders in the field of con-
servation of the urban fabric.
