Notice is hereby given that the City of Burlington intends to designate this property under section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
Description of Property
The property at 1134 Plains Rd. E. contains a former residence built in the late 19th century with 20th century alterations and addition. The property is in Burlington, Ontario on the Brant Block, Plan 99, part Lot 14.
Summary Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest and Heritage Attributes
The property at 1134 Plains Rd. E. is a representative example of a late 19th century Italianate residence. The property contains design elements that are typical of the Italianate architectural style including roof cornice brackets, buff brick hood moulds, decorative wood projections with fan carvings, bay window, friezes and a downward facing finial. The rear brick section contains similar brick with a common bond pattern and rectangular or segmental arch windows with brick voussoirs, in a more vernacular style.
The concrete block addition was likely added in the mid-20th century given the materials and design style. While the property has had alterations and additions in the 20th century, the property retains its heritage integrity such that the architectural style and building type can still be understood.
The property is historically associated with the Davis family. The property’s large massing, distinctive red brick and ornamentation make the building a prominent wayfinding structure in its context.
