The Inuksuit of Our Lives Ginette Guy n inukshuk is a manmade landmark made of stone and A used by the people of the north to say you are on the right path. In popular culture, it has come to mean "someone was here." Our old buildings, especially institutional structures, are the inuk- suit of our lives. Old care facilities, schools, asylums, and even prisons are, to outsiders, outdated brick and mortar residuals, per- haps with striking architecture. For the people that worked in them, lived or studied in them, they are markers for memories, stories, faces, and even lives. Recently there was a post about Matt Van der Velde's new book Abandoned Asylums. Matt is an Ottawa based photographer and his book is visually stunning and emotionally touching. "A sad and tragic reality that these once glorious historical institu- tions now sit vacant and forgotten as their futures are uncertain and threatened with the wrecking ball." For anyone that knows me, they would tell you that I am not given to bouts of melancholy or called overly sentimental. The first to admit that a building, no matter how stunning or historical, Abandoned Asylums Photo: Jarod Dumouchel, urbexplayground.com needs a purpose and must support itself in some ways, I find a demolition sad, an abandonment, a crime. To abandon a building means walking away, turning our backs, with the only plan of allowing time to act on boarded up shells for past nameless occu- pants. In some cases, the cost of the wrecking ball is greater than any obvious returns and some buildings can remain empty for years before safety becomes a concern. Do a search on the internet and you will find sites such as "10 Abandoned Buildings Worth Exploring" or "Cool places for urban adventures." The Urban Explore Resource website will even give you a list of places, haz- ards, security measures, required equipment, and everything you need for a walk through a sanatorium with the nocturnal ghosts. One of my first jobs was at Mount Sinai Hospital, a sanatori- um in the Laurentians of Quebec. Designed by Charles Davis Goodman and David Jerome Spence, it was in operation from 1930 to 1998. Dr. Norman Bethune worked at the hospital in the early thirties and in the 1940s experiments began using antibiotics in the treatment of tuberculosis. I just learned that the building was demolished after being abandoned for over two years. Mount Sinai Hospital Photo: Jarod Dumouchel, urbexplayground.com Page 15 of 56 Spring / printemps 2017 CHO news 3 5.b) Correspondence from Community Heritage Ontario (CHO) re... I was saddened by what I saw after an online search about Mount Sinai. The photos of the boarded, vandalized building, with damaged hallways and peeling paint, were nothing like the impressive structure I remembered. It was listed and described by Urban Explore Resource as: "Art Deco style building, Jewish influence décor, copper domed chapel with stained glass win- dows, lots of health equipment still in place, far away from any major city." I was heartbroken. For me, the place was Miss Levine, the small, plainly dressed secretary filled with inner strength; Mr. McNeil with a smuggled pork roast sandwich; and Mr. Farkas with a bowtie, a furrier to the best. In the end, the cost to clean up the site was a million dollars and the cost to tear it down, half a million. Demolition won and in the following years nearby hospitals were expanded and care homes were built. Matt Van der Velde's book Abandoned Asylums is worth a look.

These documents constitute the Ontario Heritage Act Register, a statutory obligation of the Trust mandated under the Ontario Heritage Act ("OHA"). The Register is an archive of the official documents related to all properties designated under Parts IV, V, and VI of the OHA, including bylaws, notices of Sixteen-sided building housing the Roseneath Carousel intention and alterations, bylaw repeals, to name just a few.

Renovation of the McIntyre-McFadden House Don Taylor five year adventure in renovating the abandoned McIn- A tyre-McFadden stone farmhouse near Kingston has come to an end with its recent sale. Renovation of heritage houses is actively encouraged by CHO and is an important mission of the Frontenac Heritage Foundation ("FHF"), a volunteer organization that promotes heritage building preservation in the Kingston area. Many members of such groups have taken part in renovating her- itage buildings over the years, and they and others may be inter- ested in the story of this project. The intention here is not to go into many details, but to review the major issues and decisions that often arise, and to give some thoughts in hindsight on the project. A landmark on Highway 2 between Kingston and Gananoque, the farmhouse held the attention of locals and travelers who watched its sad decline over the years from an active residence with handsome barn and conspicuous wind-charger tower, to a vacant building laid waste by fire, weather, and trespassers. When it came on the market in the summer of 2011, the front portion of McIntyre-McFadden farmhouse after purchase in 2011 the building was open to the sky with the roof and floors col- lapsed into the basement, and with stones falling dangerously from the upper walls.

Careful design and compromise were needed to minimize this challenge. When renovating to sell a property, the sooner one can find a buyer the better, so that the new owner can make decisions about kitchen layout, paint colours, bathroom and lighting fixtures, etc. Unfortunately this plan conflicts with the reality that most home buyers are unable to visualize finished and furnished spaces dur- ing the construction phase. Although we listed the property for sale at an early stage, there were no offers. There was little choice but to continue.
