Notice of Intention to Designate

TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Grimsby intends to designate 13 Mountain Street to be of cultural heritage value or interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act:

13 Mountain Street

THE REASON, for the proposed designation is to recognize the architectural value of the building in context of its contribution to the heritage character of the Town of Grimsby.

13 Mountain Street is a strong example of Gothic Revival Architecture from the late 1800s. The house was built with red clay bricks, produced locally. The brick building features many high pitched gable roofs with intersecting dormers and rooflines, the center of the roof is flat and has a widows walk with a wooden railing.

13 Mountain Street has direct associations with citizens, and organizations that are significant to the community. The house is the original location of the first Grout Foundry and Agricultural works which unfortunately burnt down in 1879. A year later in 1880 Dr. Theoron Woolverton built the residence at 13 Mountain Street, as the Woolverton family home where he lived with his wife Olivia Nelles and their two children. Dr. Theoron Woolverton, son of Dr. Jonathan Woolverton, one of the pioneer physicians of the district, who was a brother of one of the most widely known and highly respected fruit men of Canada, Edgar Judson Woolverton.

The property is important in defining, maintaining, or supporting the character of an area. The house is a notable building in the immediate downtown area, the property has many views points throughout the downtown. This downtown area of Grimsby is one of the oldest portions of the town, and retains a considerable amount of the original building stock from the 1800-1900’s. The property has been used as a commercial space for many businesses since the 1960’s.

ANY PERSON may within thirty days of the publication of this notice, send by registered mail, or deliver to the Town Clerk of the Corporation of the Town of Grimsby his or her objection to the proposed designation, together with a statement of the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts. When a Notice of Objection has been received, the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Grimsby will refer the matter to the Ontario Land Tribunal for a hearing.

FURTHER INFORMATION respecting the proposed designation is available from the municipality by contacting Bianca Verrecchia, Heritage Planner: Email: bverrecchia@grimsby.ca Phone: (905)945-9634 Ext. 2122

RYCROFT, Mary Elizabeth

21 December 1947 –03 March 2023

Mary Rycroft (Nee Brown) passed away in peace with her daughter and husband at her side, at McNally House Hospice in Grimsby. Mary was able to rise above a long battle with cancer, staying full of joy, love, and optimism until the end where, despite this strength faltering, she maintained her steadfast stoic compassion. Over the past year Mary repeatedly beat the odds, rallying under the superb care at McNally hospice. She truly made the best of every day for more than 7 months beyond original expectations. Special thanks to Doctors Duboff, Flanagan, and Marshall for your wonderful care, and our endless gratitude to the wonderful nurses, personal support staff, and all the volunteers at McNally for the care of both body and soul.

Mary graduated from the St. Michael’s Hospital Nursing School in 1969 and worked as a Registered Nurse until her retirement in 2013. She worked for 37 years at Sunnybrook & Women’s Hospital in Toronto in CCU, Diagnostic Imaging, and then Breast Cancer diagnostic research. She made true, lifelong friends over this time. Mary was instrumental in founding the Ontario Society for Diagnostic Imaging Nurses (OSDIN) to improve quality control and sterile procedures in Diagnostic Imaging. Special thanks to the doctors and staff at Sunnybrook and the Odette Cancer Centre for their dedication, compassion, and professional care last spring during Mary’s treatment.

Mary was deeply devoted to her family. Predeceased by parents Richard Cyril Joseph (Sid) Brown and Rita Helen (Murphy) Brown. Mary is survived and dearly missed by her husband of 43+ years, John Rycroft, daughter Dr. Jennifer (Kowgier) Rycroft, son-in-law Mark Kowgier, and two beautiful and special grandchildren to whom she was the world’s best grandma; Sidney, (namesake of Mary’s father) and Eleanor, (namesake of John’s mother). She also will be dearly missed by her brother Rick Brown (Annie) of Newmarket, sister/brother-in-laws Sandra & Clare Metselaar, Donald & Kathy Rycroft, and many nieces and nephews, Aunt Cathy Millions (Timmins) and the extended Brown family.

Mary was a long standing member of the Third Tuesday Book Club and loved by many friends and neighbours, especially Pat Hopper, Peggie Wall, Josie Wade, Barb Howe, Carol Sakamoto. Mary cherished every relationship as only she could. Her generosity of spirit, and matching sense of style, were always appreciated and rarely duplicated. She leaves a hole in the lives of all she met, but also a legacy of her love.

Friends are invited to a celebration of Mary’s life on Saturday March 18th in the afternoon, 3 to 6 pm. at the Stonehouse-Whitcomb Funeral Home, 11 Mountain Street, Grimsby, Ontario. (www.smithsfh.com 905-945-2755). According to Mary’s wishes, cremation has taken place, with a private family interment to occur at a later date.

Donations are welcome in Mary’s memory to either: McNally House Hospice www.mcnallyhousehospice.com or Durham Region Hospice Whitby www.durhamregionhospice.ca (specify Whitby)

Happy 86th to the Best Mom Ever!

Love, from your impossible kids
