The Betty Taylor house was built circa 1938, shortly after Taylor’s retirement from her record-breaking career as a brilliant competitor in women’s hurdles events. Her international career began at the age of fourteen in her triumph at the 1930 British Empire Games in Hamilton, and ended in a photo-finish bronze medal at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

The house is one of only two residences in Burlington designed in the international modernist Art Deco Style. The two-storey stuccoed flat-roofed structure is well proportioned but simple and unadorned by historical design motifs. Art Deco elements include the recessing of the paired windows, enhanced by the multiple-level recessing of the front entrance, and the curved corner with grouped small sash windows.

Recent award-winning renovations and additions have greatly enhanced the architectural design value of the house.

This local landmark makes a strong contribution to the heritage value of the hart Survey, registered in 1922. The neighbourhood is characterized by well-built houses in various styles, well-maintained gardens, and a strong sense of community identity. Emerald Crescent is centrally located in the heart of old Burlington and close to downtown amenities, but retains a quiet cul-de-sac manner and air of seclusion.
