Developer plans seniors’ home on Stoney Creek Dairy site

http://www.thespec.com/news/local/ar...medium=twitter

A Hamilton developer is hoping to transform one of the city’s most beloved ice cream shops into a home for seniors.

The city’s planning committee is dealing with a proposal Tuesday to transform the now-closed Stoney Creek Dairy manufacturing plant into a five-storey, 200-unit seniors and assisted-living home. Staff are recommending the proposal.

The store remains open.

Sergio Manchia, the project’s planner, said the project will include an ice cream shop at street level. The development proposal also includes plans to remediate the land, which was contaminated during the dairy’s functional years.

The Stoney Creek Dairy was founded in 1929 by George Dawson. The dairy bar was opened in 1942.

It closed in 2010 after being purchased by Montreal-based Creme Glacee Lambert. At the time, Georges Gaucher, president of Creme Glacee Lambert, said several factors, like high taxes and electricity bills, combined to make the Stoney Creek ice-cream plant uncompetitive.

Saw a sign out front of the dairy today. I just got a quick look at it as we were driving by, but it looks like it said that the dairy is moving downtown to Bay st., and the Stoney Creek store is closing.

Missed this when it first appeared. For a second, I thought Sushi Star was seriously stepping up its game.

The sign out front of the Stoney Creek Dairy:

"AS OF SEPT 3 MOVING TO: 325 BAY ST HAMILTON"

That address is where Hutch's is at Bayfront.

Hutch's already serves Stoney Creek ice cream. I wonder if anything is actually being moved?

Maybe the entire dairy will be moved (the original house part) like what they did with the Grandview (Nash-Jackson House) being moved to battlefield park when the Arbour Creek nursing home was built. As much as I'd hate to see the Stoney Creek Dairy be picked up and moved to the other side of the city, I would much rather see that happen then see it get torn down so the new seniors home can be built and then have a small addition get built on the side of hutches for a new Stoney Creek Dairy.

I'm sad to see it go, but hopefully it will be replaced by bigger & better things.

Are they honestly calling this building "Traditions at the Dairy?"

So does that mean the residents get to churn butter, and pasteurize milk?

Probably not, but they will get to live in one of the ugliest buildings ever constructed.

Seriously, it should be illegal to build faux mansard roofs with aluminum sheeting. Makes me want to vomit.
