REASONS FOR DESIGNATION

 

Indian Point Gates & Streetlamps

 

The Indian Point gates and streetlamps are the distinctive markers of Indian Point, a residential community of great cultural significance in Burlington.  Indian Point includes ten houses of major heritage significance, built by the Coleman family, and many others considered to be of importance in the Heritage Resource Inventory.  The landscape design and maintenance of the privately owned properties in Indian Point are of a consistently high standard.  The historic streetscapes on public property merit equally good conservation practices.

 

The gates were designed and built in 1929 by a Mr. Cuttriss.  The stonemason had been sent by the developer W.D. Flatt to Casa Loma in Toronto to study stone-masonry techniques there.  The Craftsman-Style stonework combines fieldstones of variable colour, size and shape, with a raised mortar.  The concrete caps in a vigorous Art Moderne style require maintenance and restoration.
