Do we have enough old and well-preserved buildings in Sutton to talk about a rich “built heritage”? Is this heritage well-protected? What work has been done to document it? What are the first steps? These questions served as the starting point for the firm Patri-Arch, commissioned by Sutton in 2013 to develop a framework for managing the town’s built heritage. We now have a complete picture of the status of our municipality in terms of heritage and the concrete actions required to educate the populace and raise awareness of what makes us stand out. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTo read Sutton’s built heritage management framework (in French only)\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\t\tBuilt heritage inventory\t<\/h2>\n\t

Following the creation of its built heritage management framework, the Town of Sutton undertook to inventory buildings of heritage value (historical, architectural, functional) within its territory. The inventory work, which took place from 2014 to 2021, was carried out by the Patri-Arch firm. It includes 409 files summarizing the architectural characteristics of each of the buildings identified.<\/p>\n

With a heritage rating assigned to each of the buildings inventoried, this inventory provides better support for the work of the Urban and Land Use Planning Department and allows for better targeting of buildings to be highlighted, for example through heritage tours.<\/p>\n\t
