26 Millwood Road - Notice of Intention to Designate a Property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act

It contains a two 2-storey detached house form building. A Location Map and Current Photograph of the heritage property is found in Attachment 2. The property was constructed between 1880-1885 for prominent local businessman and former mayor of North Toronto, Joseph Stanley Davis (1851-1927), whose family founded Davisville Pottery and for whom the village of Davisville is named after. Originally located on Yonge Street, the house has stood at its current location at 26 Millwood Road for nearly a century following its relocation by owner Dr. George Pringle between 1925 and 1926. Staff have determined that the property at 26 Millwood Road has cultural heritage value and meets 4 of the Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A property may be designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, if it meets two or more of the nine criteria. Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations for the property, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
