Save 230 Broadway
It is on Orangeville's heritage register as a listed property. Unless council issues a notice of intention to designate, it comes off the register on January 1, 2027 and can't be listed again for five years.
In terms of history, the property has changed hands several times since its inception. Robert Meek purchased a quarter acre from Orange Lawrence in 1853, subsequently selling it to Reverend Alexander Lewis in 1855. Interestingly, Lewis oversaw the construction of the house but never resided there, preferring to live in the village of Mono where he held various positions of authority. The property transitioned through different owners over the years, with John Laverty acquiring it from Agnes Lewis in 1900. Subsequent sales saw the division of the property, with Joseph Daly purchasing a portion in 1904, and the Orangeville Curling Club acquiring another segment in 1911.From the municipal heritage register
