The Canadian Statesman Building Attachment # 3A 62 -66 King Street West, Bowmanville — The Canadian Statesman building was constructed in 1856 for John Simpson who immigrated from Scotland in 1825. An enterprising businessman and politician, Simpson was president of the Port Harbour Co., a magistrate, a municipal councillor, and was appointed to the senate of Canada following Confederation. The building was built to house a branch of the Bank of Montreal, of which he was manager. It also contained the law offices of St. John Hutcheson and Samuel Bradshaw's shoe store. John Fee is attributed to be the builder, with the brick considered to be from a brick works on Liberty Street and the limestone from the Baseline Road quarry. Around 1870 the "Canadian Statesman" rented space in the building. The paper was owned by the Rev. John Climie, who had founded it in 1855 to promote his beliefs. Moses James purchased the "Canadian Statesman" in 1878 and the structure from the Simpson estate in 1902. Mr. James' two sons joined him in 1919 and the paper is still being published by the James family today. The building is being designated for its historical significance and the following architectural features: Exterior: • the original red brick facade s the limestone lintels, window sills and foundation • the blind arcades of the first storey • the roof line parapets ATTACHMENT UB 569
