SCHEDULE "A"

 

The building at 1094 Lakeshore Road was an operational pumphouse for the then Village of Burlington from March 3, 1910 to approximately February, 1936.  This facility was the first water pumping station for the Town of Burlington remained operational until 1935.

 

The building is a one storey above grade/one storey below grade, solid brick with concrete foundation structure.  The building area is 22' 6" x 32' 6".  The roof is hipped, with timber rafters and ceiling joists on truss beams, having wide overhangs of 4' 0".  The building was designed by Willis Chipman, Civil and Sanitary Engineer of Toronto, and built be E. Williamson of Burlington in 1909.

 

In the early 1900's the trend was toward municipal waterworks buildings which portrayed a return to large scale classical detailing, bordering on the Beaux Arts.  This attention to detail in the design of the building indicates the importance the engineering community placed on the structures housing the new technology of the time.  This structure reflects the emergence of this new technology in the Village of Burlington, a technology which enabled the expansion of the community.

 

The exterior walls are of solid brick with pilasters either side of round arched windows and doors.  The pattered arches extend in a band course around the building and the walls are crowned with a simple deep wood fascia with crown mold.  Two brick chimneys with corbelled caps rise above the hip roof.  The roof is of slate with galvanized iron gutters and the ridge is crowned with a decorative iron cresting.
