TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of King has received a request at the initiation of the owner to repeal By-law 2013-141 which designates the following property under section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act:

STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE AND ATTRIBUTES
The one-storey, rectangular frame, board and batten clad dwelling is the oldest standing Baptist Church in the Township of King and was once a place of worship for King's early settlers. The dwelling features a gable roof with cornice returns and displays a very simple style of architecture that would have been typical of many early places of worship. The front facade displays the original doorway with its decorative dentil detailing and colonettes. Above the front entrance is where the name of the church "Second King Baptist Church" and its date of construction "1848" were originally displayed; the sign block remains. The building originally had three window openings on both the west and east elevations. Five of the six period appropriate windows remain; one window entrance has been converted into a main entrance on the west elevation. Attributes also include the symmetrical side elevations, white picket fence and the prominent placement of the building and picket fence on the subject property (and municipal right-of-way).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION is available by contacting Colin Pang, Planner II/Heritage Planner by email at cpang@king.ca or by phone at 905-833-4067.
