The Samuel and Emma Todd House

The Samuel and Emma Todd House:

A Legacy of Craftsmanship in Uxbridge

 

Nestled in the heart of Uxbridge, the Samuel and Emma Todd House stands as a striking reminder of the town’s rich architectural and industrial past. Built in 1885, this charming two-storey yellow brick home boasts unique front and side gables adorned with intricate bargeboard and gingerbread trim. Its design reflects the craftsmanship and artistry of its era, much like the carriages once produced by its owner, Samuel B. Todd.

 

 

A House Built on a Foundation of Industry

The property was originally owned by local contractor George Long, who sold it in 1885 to Samuel B. Todd. At the time, Todd was an established name in the carriage-building industry, owning and operating Conboy Carriage Works in Goodwood. For many years, he crafted high-quality wagons, cutters, and sleighs, serving the needs of local farmers and tradespeople who relied on horse-drawn transport. His skill and dedication to his craft made him a key figure in the region’s economic development.

Mr. Long, who built his own residence across the street from this property, owned a number of lots along First Avenue at this time, and it is presumed that he also built this house before selling it in 1885 to Samuel B. Todd.

Samuel Todd and his family moved into this home about two years after arriving in town from Goodwood. He purchased the Conboy Carriage Works in 1883.

 

 

Architectural Significance

The Samuel and Emma Todd House is a fine example of late 19th-century residential design, showcasing elements typical of Gothic Revival and Victorian styles. The yellow brick exterior adds warmth and character, while the ornate bargeboard and gingerbread detailing highlight the era’s emphasis on decorative woodwork. The gabled rooflines give the home a distinctive silhouette, making it a standout among Uxbridge’s historic homes.

 

A Lasting Legacy

The Todd family’s contributions to the community extended beyond their home. Samuel Todd’s work in the carriage industry reflected a time when transportation was evolving, and his craftsmanship played a crucial role in the daily lives of Uxbridge residents. Today, the house remains a beautiful testament to both architectural heritage and the town’s industrious spirit.

As Uxbridge continues to embrace its history, the Samuel and Emma Todd House serves as a reminder of the skilled tradespeople who helped shape the town. Whether admired for its striking design or its connection to a once-thriving industry, this home remains a treasured piece of local history.

Get Ready for a Super Bowl Party

How to Get Ready for a Super Bowl Party

 

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events of the year, bringing together friends, family, and football fans for an unforgettable night. Whether you’re hosting a big crowd or a small gathering, preparation is key to making the party a success. Here’s how to get ready for the ultimate Super Bowl party.

 

 

1. Send Out Invitations Early

Super Bowl Sunday is a popular day for gatherings, so make sure to invite your guests well in advance. A simple text, email, or even a fun digital invitation can do the trick. Ask guests to RSVP so you can plan accordingly.

 

2. Plan the Ultimate Game Day Menu

Get Ready for a Super Bowl Party

 

Food is just as important as the game itself! Classic Super Bowl snacks include:

  • Chicken wings
  • Nachos with cheese and toppings
  • Sliders or mini burgers
  • Pigs in a blanket
  • Pizza
  • Chips and dips (guacamole, salsa, queso)
  • Veggie and fruit platters

Consider dietary restrictions and offer a mix of options, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Don’t forget desserts like brownies or football-themed cookies!

 

3. Stock Up on Drinks

Get Ready for a Super Bowl Party

Make sure you have a variety of drinks, including:

  • Beer (light and craft options)
  • Soft drinks and water
  • Cocktails or mocktails
  • Coffee for post-game chatter

Set up a self-serve drink station so guests can help themselves.

 

4. Create a Comfortable Viewing Area

Get Ready for a Super Bowl Party

 

 

 

The game is the main event, so ensure your TV is set up for optimal viewing. Arrange plenty of seating with couches, chairs, and floor cushions so everyone has a good view. Test your streaming or cable connection ahead of time to avoid last-minute issues.

 

Get Ready for a Super Bowl Party

 

5. Decorate with a Football Theme

Get into the spirit by decorating with team colours, banners, and football-themed items. Consider:

  • Tablecloths and napkins with football designs
  • Balloons in team colours
  • A chalkboard with game predictions
  • Pennants and foam fingers for added fun

 

6. Set Up a Fun Betting Pool

A friendly betting pool (just for fun or small prizes) can keep guests engaged. Use printable Super Bowl squares or have guests predict the score, MVP, or funniest commercial.

 

7. Plan Halftime Entertainment

Not everyone will be glued to the halftime show. Provide extra entertainment options like:

 

8. Prepare for Cleanup

Make post-game cleanup easier by setting out trash and recycling bins in accessible spots. Use disposable plates and cups for easy cleanup, or have a dishwasher ready to go.

 

9. Have a Backup Plan

If your TV or internet goes down, have a backup plan, like streaming from a mobile device or tuning in on the radio. Also, if you’re hosting outdoors, check the weather in advance.

 

10. Enjoy the Game!

 

Finally, don’t stress too much! The Super Bowl is about fun, food, and friends. Once everything is set up, grab some snacks, cheer for your team, and enjoy the night!

With these tips, you’ll be ready to host a Super Bowl party that your guests will be talking about long after the final whistle. Happy hosting!

A History of Faith

The Uxbridge St. Andrews – Chalmers Presbyterian Church boasts a rich history deeply intertwined with the community. Its roots stretch back to 1861 when it was established as the Presbyterian Church, Uxbridge. Initially, services were held at the Methodist Church on First Avenue.

In 1866, the congregation joined forces with the Leaskdale congregation, a significant step in its growth. This union paved the way for the construction of a new Gothic-style church in 1869, situated at the corner of Toronto Street and Church Street. This impressive structure, capable of seating 350 people, was a testament to the congregation’s dedication and cost approximately $3,000 to build.

By 1883, the growing congregation recognized the need for expansion. Land behind the existing church was acquired, and construction commenced the following June. The result was a remarkable building featuring multiple large arched stained-glass windows and two imposing towers crowned with decorative spires. The entrance graced the base of the east tower, adding to the church’s grandeur.

The new church was officially opened on February 1, 1885, at a cost of around $11,000. Four years later, a pipe organ was installed, further enhancing the worship experience.

In 1921, the St. Andrews Quaker Hill congregation joined with St. Andrews, leading to a period of significant change. In 1925, a vote was held to remain with the Presbyterian Church, and the congregation adopted the name Chalmers Presbyterian Church.

A further milestone occurred in 1962 with the amalgamation of the two congregations. This event spurred the construction of a new hall, St. Andrew’s Hall. A sod-turning ceremony took place in 1963, followed by the laying of the cornerstone in June 1964. This period also saw the church building painted white to harmonize with the new hall. St. Andrew’s Hall was officially opened and dedicated on January 3, 1965.

By 1981, the church required extensive repairs. The congregation faced a crucial decision: build a new church or renovate the existing one. Ultimately, the decision was made to renovate. This involved removing many of the ornate features, sandblasting to remove the white paint, and installing new bricks to match the original red brickwork on the newer section of the building.

The Uxbridge St. Andrews – Chalmers Presbyterian Church stands as a testament to the enduring faith and community spirit of its members. Through its history of growth, change, and adaptation, it has remained an integral part of the Uxbridge community, providing a place of worship and fellowship for generations.

9 Bascom Street Uxbridge

Unearthing the Layers of 9 Bascom Street:

A Historic Hub in Uxbridge

 

Nestled in the heart of Uxbridge, 9 Bascom Street carries with it a vibrant history that mirrors the town’s evolution. From its humble beginnings as an egg grading station to its transformation into a hub for modern businesses, this building has played an integral role in Uxbridge’s community life.

 

The Early Days: Egg Grading Station

In its earliest incarnation, 9 Bascom Street served as an egg grading station—a nod to Uxbridge’s agricultural roots. This role underscores the town’s ties to farming, where buildings like this one supported the livelihoods of local producers.

From Eggs to Engines: The Canadian Tire Era

As Uxbridge began to grow, so did the demand for more diverse services. At some point, 9 Bascom transitioned to a Canadian Tire  warehouse and service centre (now located at 327 Toronto St S), complementing the store’s location on Brock Street. Here, it served as a logistical hub for the iconic retailer, supporting the community’s burgeoning needs for automotive and household goods.

 

A New Purpose: Offices for James Campbell Insurance and Triad Travel

In 1979, the building underwent a significant transformation, reflecting the shift toward professional services in downtown Uxbridge. It became home to James Campbell Insurance (now located at 33 Toronto St N, Uxbridge) and Triad Travel Service, signalling the diversification of businesses in the area. The change marked a move away from industrial use to becoming a central location for everyday professional needs.

Modern-Day Versatility: A Home for Local Enterprises

Over the years, 9 Bascom Street has continued to adapt, hosting a variety of businesses that reflect Uxbridge’s entrepreneurial spirit:

  • Star Office Products: Catering to the needs of local businesses and individuals with office supplies and solutions.
  • Sugar FX and Red Hot Design: Bringing candy, chocolate, banners, posters, storefront signs, logos, advertisements – more to Uxbridge.  Now located at 14 Brock St E, Uxbridge.
  • Dennis Lenzin Law Office: Providing legal expertise and support to residents.
  • Breakaway Therapy and Training: Offering wellness and rehabilitation services to the community.
  • Detaild Mobile Car Detailing: A modern service catering to the growing demand for convenience and on-the-go care.

Scott Township Municipal Hall

Scott Township Municipal Hall

 – 1860 –

 

Scott Township Municipal Hall

 

The Scott Township Municipal Hall: A Timeless Piece of Local History

The Scott Township Municipal Hall, a structure rich in history and heritage, stands as a testament to the roots of community governance in the Township of Uxbridge. Designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, this building is more than just an architectural artifact; it is a symbol of civic pride and the enduring spirit of the community.

 

Visit the Township of Uxbridge Heritage Register

 

A Hall is Born

Built in 1860 by Anthony Thompson, the Scott Township Municipal Hall originally graced the northeast corner of Lot 14, Concession 5 in Scott Township. Its creation marked a significant milestone in the area’s history, as it provided a dedicated space for the township council to conduct meetings, which had previously been held in local schools. Constructed using a traditional “barn framed” method, the hall quickly became a focal point for governance and community activities.

 

Scott Township Municipal Hall

 

Multifaceted Purpose

Beyond serving as the council’s meeting place from 1860 until the end of 1967, the hall played a vital role in the daily lives of Scott Township residents. It doubled as a community hall for the 6th Concession and occasionally hosted church services, reflecting its versatility and importance as a communal gathering space. These functions highlight the hall’s intrinsic role in fostering a sense of community and unity among its residents.

 

A Journey Across Time and Place

The hall’s journey didn’t end when it ceased functioning as a municipal space. In 1967, Dorothy and Ed Brown purchased the building, relocating it to their farm and transforming it into the Country Heritage Museum. During this period, the hall was outfitted with vertical siding, a change that gave it a new aesthetic while preserving its structural integrity.

In July 1993, the hall embarked on yet another chapter of its storied life. It was moved to the Uxbridge Historical Centre (UHC) grounds, where it resides today. This relocation ensured that the hall remains accessible to the public, offering a glimpse into the past for residents and visitors alike.

 

Scott Township Municipal Hall

 

From Township to Township

Scott Township itself has a rich and storied history. Surveyed in 1807 and named after Thomas Scott (1746–1824), a prominent Attorney-General and Chief Justice for Upper Canada, the township was officially incorporated in 1850. Over a century later, in 1974, Scott Township was amalgamated with Uxbridge Township and Uxbridge Town to form the present-day Township of Uxbridge as part of the newly established Region of Durham.

 

Preserving Heritage

The Scott Township Municipal Hall’s designation under the Ontario Heritage Act underscores its importance as a cultural and historical landmark. Its presence on the UHC grounds allows for its continued preservation and provides a tangible connection to the region’s past. Visitors can explore the building and imagine the council meetings, community events, and church services that once filled its walls.

A Living Legacy

Today, the Scott Township Municipal Hall is more than a historical artifact; it is a living legacy. Its story of adaptation, relocation, and preservation mirrors the resilience and adaptability of the community it served. As part of the Uxbridge Historical Centre, the hall invites everyone to step back in time and experience a piece of history that has shaped the identity of Uxbridge and its surrounding areas.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a local resident, or a curious visitor, the Scott Township Municipal Hall is a must-see destination that tells the tale of governance, community, and heritage in Ontario’s past.

The Evolving History of 185 Main St N, Uxbridge

Located just north of the heart of Uxbridge, 185 Main St N has a fascinating history that reflects the town’s growth and changing needs over the decades. This brick and glass building, constructed in 1965 by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), originally served as a critical part of the community’s commercial landscape.

 

The Early Years: A Landmark LCBO Location

185 Main St N, Uxbridge

 

 

 

When the LCBO built the property, it was designed to be Uxbridge’s official liquor store, bringing a modern and regulated retail experience to the area. For over four decades, 185 Main St N was the go-to destination for residents to stock up on beverages for celebrations, gatherings, and everyday life. Its central location made it a convenient stop for shoppers and a staple of the local business district.

 

A New Chapter in 2006

In 2006, the LCBO relocated to a larger and more contemporary facility on Welwood Drive, leaving 185 Main St N vacant. The move reflected the LCBO’s effort to provide an expanded selection and enhanced services for the growing Uxbridge community.

 

Willow Books: A Creative Transformation

185 Main St N, Uxbridge

 

 

 

 

After the LCBO’s departure, the building found new life as the home of Willow Books. This charming bookstore became a hub for literary enthusiasts in Uxbridge. It offered a wide selection of titles, adding a cultural and intellectual dimension to its storied history.

 

Patterson’s Flooring: A Practical Turn

185 Main St N, Uxbridge

 

 

 

 

Following Willow Books, the building transitioned into Patterson’s Flooring, a business that catered to homeowners and contractors seeking quality flooring solutions. This marked a shift from cultural pursuits to practical necessities, showcasing the building’s adaptability to changing commercial demands.

 

Today: A Warehouse with a Story

Currently, 185 Main St N serves as a warehouse, continuing to contribute to the local economy in a quieter capacity. Though its role has evolved significantly over the years, the building remains a tangible link to Uxbridge’s past—a reminder of its journey through retail, culture, and commerce.

 

A Building That Adapts with the Times

The history of 185 Main St N exemplifies Uxbridge’s dynamic spirit and the versatility of its landmarks. From a bustling LCBO store to a beloved bookstore, a practical flooring business, and now a warehouse, this building has continuously adapted to meet the needs of its community.

Next time you pass by 185 Main St N, take a moment to appreciate its layered history and the stories it holds within its walls. It’s more than just a building—it’s a witness to decades of change in Uxbridge.
