SCHEDULE "A"
TO BY-LAW #97-18
Constructed between 1903 and 1904, the former Town of Bowmanville Town Hall was
designed by A.R. Denison of Toronto. It is the only example of the Beaux Arts style
found in Bowmanville. This architectural form takes its name from the Ecole de
Beaux Arts in Paris where architects of the late nineteenth century were taught to
design buildings based on Classical and Renaissance prototypes.
The symmetrical facade contains a recessed centre portion between slightly
projecting end bays. Horizontal rustication is evident on the lower storey as the brick
has been laid to give the effect of broad horizontal bands. The recessed portion of
the upper storey contains three large windows set between projecting brick pilasters
which are topped with decorative capitals. The roof line cornice, with its rectangular
brackets and semi-circular pediment, the octagon bell tower and the stone window
dressings, door trim and scroll brackets all add to the appearance of stately
importance.
On April 20, 1903, the council for the former Town of Bowmanville approved the
construction of this new town hall building. John Kydd was engaged as
superintendent of the work under the direction of Mr. Denison, and the corner stone
was laid on August 29, 1903, by John Hoskin Esq.
The building was officially opened on February 24,1 904, and was multi-purpose in
nature. The lower floor held the municipal offices and the library, and the basement
contained a detention cell with a heavy metal plated door and barred windows. The
Hall's most impressive feature was the upper floor auditorium which was utilized as
an opera house.
It is significant to note that in the late 1980s the town hall was revived to
accommodate the needs of a growing municipality. 1988 saw the official opening of
a new post-modern addition. Designed by A.J. Diamond, Donald Schmitt and
Company, the rehabilitation of the old section and its melding with the new
administrative office portion won an award of excellence from the Ontario Architects
Association (OAA).
The renovation was very sympathetic to the original construction as all exterior facade
were maintained and new elements were carefully amalgamated. The west wall has
been retained and can be seen upon entrance into the main reception area. The
original north entrance has been replaced by a window and additional windows have
been added where needed. The cast iron opera house seats have been refurbished
and reupholstered and are now the balcony seating for the council chambers.
The former Town of Bowmanville Town Hall is recommended for designation under
the Ontario Heritage Act for the following architectural features:
Exterior
• the low-hipped black slate roof
• the octagon bell tower and its balcony
• the heavy cornicing, rectangular brackets and pediment
• the original brick facade with its horizontal rustication
• the fieldstone foundation
• the brick pilasters and decorative capitals
• the galvanized tin trim and facades, bell tower and tower balcony
• the decorative stone work on the windows and main entrance
• the double doors of the front entrance with their heavy brass handles
• the balcony over the main entrance with its stone scroll brackets
