REASONS FOR DESIGNATION

 

1457 ONTARIO STREET

 

Built c.1875 for Robert Miller, former Reeve of Nelson Township and newly appointed Collector of Customs for the Port of Wellington Square, this is the earliest known building by George Blair and one of the oldest extant brick residences in the former Village of Burlington.  Its subsequent ownership by the George Bush family, links it to the long-established men’s wear business, which has been in operation on Brant Street since 1921.  The Miller-Bush House is particularly important in maintaining the character of the heritage buildings on Locust and Ontario Streets.  Its location at the intersection of these streets balances and supports that of the former Calvary Baptist Church (now Eglise St. Philippe), also built in 1875.
