Historic Sandwich Town Business Improvement Area 3118 Sandwich Street Windsor, ON N9C 1A6 

• Standing Committee/Community Services and Parks standing Committee Item 8.3 Council ReQ_ort S214/2019 
•  
• In consideration of the historical and architectural importance of the Duff-Baby Mansion to the early history of the Town of Sandwich/Windsor and the western part of Ontario, the Sandwich Town BIA strongly supports the request of Les Amis Duff-Baby that the existing lease and an enhanced use agreement with the Ontario Heritage Trust be renewed
•  
• We support Option 1 for the lease and use of the I st floor. The Lord repo1i that recommended the Hub and Spoke model for Windsor's museum identified the Duff Baby Mansion as a potential site for the Sandwich Hub. Option I would provide for the use as a museum with staff and regular hours of operation. It is felt that a greater use and interpretation of the historic DuffBaby site will assist in the long term promotion of the history and tourist interest in Sandwich.
