A century-old heritage home in Richmond Hill is expected to be razed to the ground.

Council decided at the May 27 meeting to demolish the former Harry Endean House, according to a notice issued by the city on July 14.

JUST THE FACTS:

• History: The existing house at 35 Wright Street is known as the Harry Endean House, and was constructed in 1920/1921 in the Arts and Crafts Bungalow tradition. Harry Endean was important in and contributed to the local nursery industries and thereby the history of Richmond Hill since before the First World War until his death in 1972.

• Future: The owner of the lands is proposing to build a six-storey, eight-unit residential building with 10 at-grade parking spaces.

• Construction: The design theme for the new building includes the reuse of the facade of the Harry Endean House as an integral part of the new multi-residential building.
