2. City Councilinclude the property at 81 Shuter Street on the City of Toronto’s Heritage Register.

3. City Council include the property at 85 Shuter Street on the City of Toronto’s Heritage Register.

This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 79 Shuter Street (John G. Scott house), 81 Shuter Street (Thomas C. Scott houses) and 85 Shuter Street (Catherine Scott house) on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register.

Located on the south-east corner of Shuter and Mutual Streets, the properties contain, two-three storey row houses dating from the 1850s-1870s, located in the Garden District neighbourhood.

Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the properties at 79, 81 and 85 Shuter Street meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City applies when considering properties for inclusion on its Heritage Register.

The inclusion of the properties at 79, 81 and 85 Shuter Street on the City's Heritage Register would identify the properties' cultural heritage values and heritage attributes.  Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
