631 Ioco Road, Port Moody, BC.
Statement of Significance:
Description of Historic Place:
The Pleasantside Grocery is a two-and-one-half storey wood-frame commercial structure that sits at a prominent location on the road to Ioco, the Imperial Oil company town.
Heritage Value of Historic Place
The Pleasantside Grocery is of value as a community landmark along Ioco Road, and as evidence of the early development of the community outside of Moody Centre.
Built for Leander Philip Peltier in 1928 at a time of increasing local prosperity, the location of the store reflects the continued growth of Ioco, the company town developed by Imperial Oil near its refinery on the north shore of Burrard Inlet. Ioco Road was the only road access to this remote location, and over time, new residents settled in the area adjacent to the road. This store was built to provide groceries and general merchandise to surrounding residents, but for decades was also a local gathering place and community landmark. Its location on the north side of the road allowed a south-facing exposure, and a pleasant aspect to the front verandah with views of Burrard Inlet. By 1934, the store had been acquired by Attilio Ronco (1894-1979), a Peruvian-born storekeeper of Italian extraction who owned it for a number of years. The store was purchased by the current owners in the 1960s.
The building is also valued for its rustic character and as typifying a traditional country store. Its prominence is increased by its proximity to the street, the full open front verandah, paired bay windows on the second floor and a tall front gable that faces the street.
Character-Defining Elements:
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Pleasantside Grocery include its:
- landmark location along Ioco Road
- prominent two-and one-half storey scale among smaller residential buildings
- post-and-beam interior structure
- symmetrical form and massing
- mixed-use configuration, with commercial space on lower floor and residential use above
- original storefront configuration with central inset entry, flanking display windows and offset entry to upper floor
- full open front verandah
- paired projecting bays on the second floor front facade
- original exterior features such as lapped wooden siding, cornerboards and trim
- double-hung wooden-sash 1-over-1 windows
- original interior features such as wooden wall and ceiling cladding in store
- simple landscape setting with adjacent parking and treed background, including orchard remnants

There‘s not too much data on them online but as far as I know the „Neupolar“ lenses in 50 mm and 100 mm focal lengths are well regarded among the apparently few who have used them. I have used both of them for a bit and while it’s not enough to make a definitive statement I would say that they still hold up surprisingly well apart from maybe being a bit low contrast.

Strong winds and high tides in winter has caused the right conditions for the odd massive spray of water at the breakwater, where the Southern Ocean meets Lady Bay. Quite a school holiday attraction today with almost traffic jam conditions along viaduct road.

Statement of Significance What is significant?
The Warrnambool Breakwater was designed by the eminent British harbour engineer Sir John Coode in 1879 and constructed between 1884 and 1890. Warrnambool was the centre of a prosperous farming region from the 1840s, and following the construction of jetties in the 1850s the harbour was extensively used and was a regular stop on the coastal steamer route. A plan was approved by the Government in 1874 to provide protection to shipping by constructing a breakwater, at an estimated cost of £110,000, but work stopped in 1877 after only £30,000 of this had been spent. In 1879 the Government commissioned Coode, who had been brought to Victoria by the Melbourne Harbour Trust to advise on works to improve the Port of Melbourne, to present a plan for completing the breakwater at Warrnambool. His original proposal was considered too expensive, and he presented a revised plan for a shorter structure to cost an estimated £134,000, consisting of a timber viaduct leading from the shore out to a 900 feet long concrete breakwater and wharf. In 1884 a tender was accepted for the approach works to the viaduct, to cost £27,173, and in 1885 a contract for £129, 017 was accepted from Arthur Dobson for the remaining works. The work was completed in 1890, but the structure soon proved to be too short to give good protection from weather from the south-east or to allow berthage for larger vessels. Rather than trade through the port increasing after the completion of the breakwater, it fell, largely because of competition from the just-completed railway line. It was also apparent that the breakwater was causing siltation in the harbour, which by 1910 required continuous dredging. In 1914 a contract was let for £70,000 to extend the breakwater by about 300 ft, but this work was a failure and the new structure soon began to subside. By the 1920s about two-thirds of the original harbour was silted up. An attempt was made in the 1920s to reduce siltation by sheeting the viaduct, but this only increased the problem. By the 1940s the harbour was no longer used. During the 1950s and 1960s the viaduct was altered again, with the base enclosed and filled with basalt and the road on top re-levelled.
The Warrnambool Breakwater consists of two parts: the concrete breakwater extending out into the bay, and the timber viaduct which once joined it to the shore, which now runs along the east side of the Merri River and is surrounded by land to the east. The breakwater is 30ft wide with a 15 ft wide parapet with a walkway along the top. It is made up of a base of 32 ton concrete blocks with mass concrete above the waterline. The viaduct was originally a raised timber structure, but is now filled in below and to the sides with bluestone rubble, and there is an asphalt roadway, known as Viaduct Road, laid along the top. The area to the east of the viaduct which was once part of the harbour is now land, and a car park has been constructed along the new shoreline. The breakwater railway was removed in 1962, though some remnants of rail remain, and all buildings once associated with the breakwater have also been removed.
How is it significant? The Warrnambool Breakwater is of historical significance to the state of Victoria.
Why is it significant? The Warrnambool Breakwater is of historical significance as one of the most important maritime engineering projects in Victoria in the late nineteenth century. It is evidence of Victoria's nineteenth century investment in regional port infrastructure and the development of Victorian coastal shipping. It is of significance for its association with the English civil engineer Sir John Coode, the most distinguished harbour engineer of the nineteenth century, who was brought to Victoria to advise on works to improve the Port of Melbourne, but was retained by the Government to advise on improvements to the harbours at Portland, Geelong, Port Fairy, and Lakes Entrance, as well as Warrnambool. His projects for Melbourne, Lakes Entrance and Warrnambool were major engineering projects of the nineteenth century. The breakwater is historically significant as a reminder of Warrnambool's early maritime history as a Western District port, and as one of Victoria's major 'outer ports'. While the Warrnambool Breakwater is a demonstration of the engineering skills of the nineteenth century, it also demonstrates the limitations of knowledge relating to sedimentology at the time and the confidence apparent in a number of nineteenth century plans which assumed that natural forces could be overcome or contained by engineering.

St Patrick's Cathedral, Ballarat built between 1857 and 1871, was based on a design of English architect Charles Hansom, modified by local architects Dowden and Ross and later by JB Denny who designed the eastern section. Reed, Tappin and Smart designed the decorations for the interior in 1891.
Ballarat architects Clegg, Kell and Miller designed St Patrick's Hall which was built by Peter Bodger in 1901.
St Patrick's Cathedral and Hall form an important ecclesiastical pair demonstrating the particular strength of the Catholic Church in Ballarat.
St Patrick's Cathedral, built in bluestone and comprising a five bay nave with aisles and clerestory, porches, transepts, side chapels, chancel and sacristies, demonstrates outstanding craftsmanship particularly in the stencilled patterning on the boarded chancel ceiling, the stone carvings by Andrea Stombucco and the excellent examples of stained glass by Clayton and Bell of London, Mayer & Co of Munich and Hardman & Co of Birmingham.
The cathedral is significant for its association with the important English architect Charles Francis Hansom (1817-1888) who played a prominent role in the Gothic revival of the 1840s in England. A number of his church designs were built in Victoria, sometimes modified by local architects, including St Patrick?s Church, Port Fairy and St Augustine?s Church, Creswick. St Patrick's Cathedral is Hansom's largest cathedral design in Australia, apart from the Adelaide Cathedral which has been substantially altered.
St Patrick's Cathedral is also significant for its association with the leader of the English Gothic revival movement, Augustus Welby Pugin, through JB Denny. Denny, who had worked with Pugin in England, was responsible for the final form of the cathedral.
The participation of the local community in financing a church of such an impressive scale demonstrates the importance placed in the church as a symbol of the faith and identity of the Catholic community in Ballarat.
The cast iron gates and fence around the perimeter of the complex, designed in an elaborate gothic style with crowned piers demonstrate outstanding craftsmanship.
St Patrick's Hall demonstrates a notable application of decorative schemes, particularly its highly decorated ceiling which has few parallels amongst other church halls in Victoria.

Monitoring your bank statement is the best way of knowing if someone is attempting to use your money.
This morning, checking my latest bank statement, I opened the file to remove a page but pulled open the bottom ring and not one of the centre rings. That ring closed on my finger, where you see the piece of wood in this re-enactment.
Were I a more dedicated photographer, I would have got my 'phone, lying on the table beside me, and snapped the moment. However, my only thought was to open the file and extract my finger – it was very painful 😟
