- 19 Fountain Street West - Notice of Intention to Designate - 2024-432.pdf
Staff ask Council to publish notice that it intends to protect the house at 19 Fountain Street West under the Ontario Heritage Act. Already on the city's heritage register, the property was found by staff and Heritage Guelph to meet four of the nine provincial tests for cultural heritage value. A designation bylaw would follow if no objections arrive within 30 days.
