Main Street Heritage Conservation District Plan

» Found in Planning Services
The Main Street Heritage Conservation District was designated a Heritage Conservation District pursuant to Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act in 1984.


The Main Street Heritage Conservation District is located in the heart of the former city of Galt and bounded by Main Street, Ainslie Street, Imperial Lane and Water Street. The district is distinguished by a block of commercial buildings that collectively form one of the outstanding historic streetscapes in Ontario. While the block exudes visual unity and strength there is a rich variety of architectural style and building age from the masculine stone Granite Block of 1862 to the flamboyant High Victorian Osborne Building of 1895. It is this subtle variation of detail and style within the discipline of the streetscape as a whole that makes the district worthy of long-term conservation and enhancement.
