SCHEDULE “A”

 

REASONS FOR THE DESIGNATION

 

The exterior of this property is recommended for conservation as property having historical and architectural value and interest by the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee of the City of Burlington.

 

The property was purchased by Mr. Charles Findley Coleman in 1890 and a building was subsequently erected.  Mr. Coleman was a house and sign painter, paperhanger, decorator, grainer and florist.  In 1918, he became Mayor of Burlington.

 

The house is two and one-half storeys, flat gabled end.  The four inch channel groove clapboard has been restored.  The entrance is double-doored with glass insets capped by a transom light and stained glass.  The window and door trim are of Greek or Classical Revival showing an angled pediment above the lintel and plain sideboard trim on the jambs.

 

The round top window in the peak of the gable is interesting and the carvings above illustrates the "Gaiety of Gables" and is included in Anthony Adamson's book of that title.
