The registration of a Simpson Street house under a section of the Ontario Heritage Act is being recommended by City Council. Bishophurst is located at 134 Simpson Street — it was constructed back in 1876 as the See House of the Anglican Diocese of Algoma. Among the house’s many connections are first Bishop of Algoma Frederick Dawson Fauquier and Sir James Dunn. Anglican priests that played a role in the development of Northern Ontario also passed through the site. Last night’s recommendation follows a similar decision by the city’s Municipal Heritage Committee back in November.
