REASONS FOR DESIGNATION

 

455 NELSON AVENUE

 

Built c.1892 for Charles Chisholm, this modest dwelling is a good example, in excellent condition, of the Victorian summer cottage prevalent in the community at that time. Originally a summer home, just "steps to the lake", it retains most of its original features, which include the shiplap wood siding on the lower portion, the windows and trim, the doors and the delicate "gingerbread" bargeboard. Located in a block with other similar cottages, it is significant in preserving the character of the neighbourhood, originally a summer resort community.
