SCHEDULE A-1
REASONS FOR
DESIGNATION
5772 GUELPH
LINE
Built between 1890 and 1900 for John Readhead, the owner of a sawmill in Lowville, this large cross-gabled brick structure in late Victorian vernacular style has decorative gingerbread bargeboards in the front and side gables. The original windows with cutout decorative trim and rough-relief brick voussoirs have been preserved. The setting of this property at Lowville Heights makes a strong contribution to the heritage character of Lowville, especially in relation to the neighbouring designated structures on the historic Guelph Line.

DESIGNATION
6042 GUELPH
LINE
Built in 1872 for Thomas Colling, one of the sons of Joseph Colling, who had immigrated to Lowville in 1819, raised his family there, and gradually acquired the farmland known as the Colling Block. The property remained a mixed farm in the Colling-Coulson family for almost a century, and the large brick house with many gables has been owned and maintained by them for more than 120 years. Its arched windows with tear-drop tracery are almost unique in Burlington. The front entrance with transom, sidelights, and original panelled door, is recessed with excellent wood panelling which is repeated in the interior. The location of the house at Lowville Heights makes it a strong asset to the heritage character of Lowville, especially in relation to neighbouring designated structures, the former Wesleyan Church and Manse, both on land donated by the Colling family, on the historic Guelph Line.

2411
LAKESHORE ROAD
Originally owned by the Thomas Hiram Alton family, this building contributes to the character of the Lakeshore streetscape, as well as all of Burlington. The building is one of two such ornate and well preserved Queen Anne style homes in Burlington. When built, one could look out the windows to the busy, bustling Port Nelson with its many ships waiting to pick up products.
The facade is exceptional with the gabled porch with its dentil and dowel cornice, ornate sun motif, columns and balustrade with turned members. The gables and dormers with bisecting chimneys have dentil wood shingles and wide wooden cornices. All building openings have plain wide wood trim. The bay window with its fluted frieze and ornate brackets add style to the plain windows below. The oak front doors has an attractive arrangement of leaded and etched glass windows.

DESIGNATION
3077
LAKESHORE ROAD
This home is an outstanding example of a Craftsman Style bungalow, with stucco, natural uncut fieldstone and cedar shingled construction, in almost original condition. The home boasts a large central peaked gable with two sets of three, nine-paned windows. Fieldstone chimneys are also original, along with the full width front porch decorated with exposed rafter tails. The sunroom has many six over one and nine over one windows which are typical of the other elevations as well. Wood trim brackets are the only decorative additions on the gable ends. Concrete front steps from the street lead up to a well landscaped lot with mature trees.
The home was built in 1910 in W.D. Flatts Pine Cove Survey for Rober Morley Hoose and sold in 1920 to Lt. Col. Lionel H. Miller. Located across from Flatts own Craftsman style home, the former Lakeshurst Villa and next to other houses featured in Flatts Lake Shore Surveys Development, this property makes a strong contribution to the Heritage Streetscape of Lakeshore Road.

LAKESHORE ROAD
Built in 1881 for Benjamin Johnson and his wife Hannah, in a vernacular farmhouse style. The cross-gabled brick structure with a T-plan and a large kitchen wing at the rear is nearly symmetrical, but oriented towards Green Street. The corners have reliefed brick quoins, not often seen on heritage homes in Burlington. The arched windows are original, and it is planned to restore the lost arched shutters. The property was inherited from Hannah Johnsons father George Nelson Will, whose widow Eliza lived here until 1887. Unspoiled by later alterations and located in the midst of the historic houses of Green Street and Lakeshore Road, this house makes a very strong contribution to the heritage district of old Village of Port Nelson.
