HERITAGE INVENTORY PROJECT
The RNA has received a letter from the Hallmark Society calling
for
nominations of structures in our community that are worthy of heritage
designation. The criteria are:
A structure, i.e. house, store, office, public building, bridge,
outhouse, wall, fence, barn, fountain, lane, alley, streetscape,
green-space etc.,
that is not currently protected by community bylaws such as Heritage
Designation, or Registry;
that is at risk for some reason (abandoned, surrounded by new
development, in an area zoned for something bigger, etc.):
that is likely to be of considerable age (likely before 1910));
that is significant or has an interesting history (owners, occupants,
architecture).
The Hallmark Society is seeking addresses of structures for
consideration by the end of August at the latest, together with some
brief indication as to why the nominated structure might be
significant.
Please contact the Hallmark Society directly at
inventory@hallmarksociety.ca or by ordinary mail at 18 Centennial
Square, Victoria, BC, V8W 1P7, tel: (250) 382-4755. More
