Heritage Cornwall Book
"Built With Pride, Built With Style - 
Discovering Cornwall's Architectural Heritage" 

This book is Heritage Cornwall's first major publication that was officially released on February 26, 2007.  The book uses Cornwall properties as examples of the various architectural styles that have been used since the community was first settled in 1784 right up to today's modern styles (Palladian Georgian to Post Modern).  It also features a Glossary to help the reader understand the many proper names that are used to describe features of a building, such as a bay window, cornice and pinnacle.  Originally conceived as a means for Heritage Cornwall members to become familiar with architectural terms, the 2003 - 2006 term of the committee realized that the publication would be an excellent way to promote Cornwall's fantastic building heritage and would make a great coffee table book for every household.  If you'd like any further information about this publication, please e-mail us with your questions."

From the very beginning, the route the company had tried to build across Ontario was always put into question, due to the ever changing plans for the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway as well as the company's financial backing.
