- Henry_Newell_Bate abstract "Sir Henry Newell Bate (April 9, 1828, Truro, Cornwall, England – April 7, 1917, Trennick House, Ottawa, Ontario) was a wealthy Canadian industrialist and the first Chairman of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, founded in 1899 (now the National Capital Commission). Bate was knighted in 1910 by King George V for his efforts, with the \"Ottawa Citizen\" reporting on June 12, 1910: \"Just how much Ottawa the beautiful owes to Sir Henry Bate cannot be told in words. As chairman of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, he was one of the first to conceive the idea of The Rideau Canal Driveway, and the purchase of the parks, which have greatly enhanced the beauty of the Dominion's Capital City.\"The third son of a Truro, Cornwall England brewer and malster, Henry Newell Bate emigrated with his family to St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada in 1833 at the age of five. In 1854 he and his older brother Charles Thornton Bate (Mayor of Ottawa in 1884) moved to Bytown (Ottawa) where they founded the wholesale grocery business \"C.T. Bate & Company\", situated on Canal St. and later renamed \"H.N. Bates & Sons\". The company identified itself in the 1861-62 Ottawa Directory as “Importers of, and wholesale dealers in, groceries, wines, liquors, teas and provisions.”The Bates’ wholesale business prospered, managing to secure some excellent clients and, as author Dave Mullington writes on pg. 64 in his book \"Chain of Office: Biographical Sketches of the Early Mayors of Ottawa 1847-1948\" (Renfrew, Ontario: General Store Publishing House, 2005), Bate & Co. became “the official food supplier to Rideau Hall, providing the Governor-General and his household with such delights as potted hare and truffles, as well as more mundane items such as ginger ale, toothpicks and flypaper”.The company's primary retail outlet, \"The Bate Building\" (the oldest surviving structure on Spark Street in downtown Ottawa), was built in 1859 by the English architectural firm of Stent & Laver, which firm had worked on the Parliament Buildings (http://urbsite.blogspot.ca/2011/06/back-to-sparks-bate-co.html).Sometimes referred to as the \"Grocer King\" Henry Newell Bate also branched out into real estate, purchasing large tracts of land in the then largely undeveloped area of Ottawa known as \"Sandy Hill,\" and founding the \"H.N. Bate Realty Company\" in the process. In the June 21, 1952 evening edition of the \"Ottawa Citizen\" (pg. 2, Section 3), Madge Macbeth wrote that \"the Bate real estate holdings were so extensive in Sandy Hill that it was impossible to identify a person's address by explaining that he or she lived in a 'Bate house'.\" Several of these beautiful mansions still stand today. Sir Henry also contributed to the beauty of Strathcona Park.Bate also built a sprawling Gothic-style stone residence for himself in Sandy Hill, which he named \"Trennick House\" in honour of his ancestral home in Cornwall, England. Located at 216 Chapel St., and encompassing an entire city block with outbuildings and stables, Trennick House was where Henry Newell Bate and his wife Catherine Cameron raised fourteen children (nine of whom survived to adulthood).In 1899 Sir Henry Bate founded All Saints Church (All Saints Anglican Church (Ottawa) which he subsequently deeded over to the congregation in memory of his late wife. One of the founding members of Beechwood Cemetery (Beechwood Cemetery) in 1873 (now Canada's National Cemetery), Bate was serving as President of Beechwood at the time of his death in April 1917.".
