SCHEDULE "A"

 

REASON FOR THE DESIGNATION

The exterior of this property is recommended for conservation as a property of some historical value, but more particularly, of architectural interest to the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee of the City of Burlington. 

 

The property was the site of the first Baptist Church of Burlington and the building was constructed as a parsonage for the said church in the year 1888 by an English carpenter-designer known as James Bent.

 

1442 Ontario Street is representative of picturesque period vernacular architecture, styled after the Carpenter's Gothic of the 1880's.  The original structure was fused with a westerly addition of the same style around 1910.  The building is of wood frame construction.  Unique features include a coved curved enclosed glassed-in porch and handmade and carved ornamentation for the windows, mouldings, soffits, gables and cornices as well as unusual decorative roof supporting braces.  This building merits conservation and some restoration.
