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 2022 Victoria Ave. contains a two-and-one-half storey former residence. The property is situated on the southeast side of Victoria Avenue, approximately 80 meters east of Brant Street.
Summary Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest and Heritage Attributes
The property at 2022 Victoria Ave. contains a representative example of an Ontario vernacular structure dating to the early 20th century with Edwardian Four Square design influence. Built between 1902 and 1915 as a residence, the structure on the property has since been converted to commercial use.
Early 20th century Ontario vernacular elements include its two- and one-half storey height, hipped roof, brick cladding, and simple ornamentation. Edwardian Four Square design influence is seen in the organization of the front façade with an offset entrance, first storey window and two second storey windows arranged above the first storey openings.
This design became common in the early 20th century and was reflective of the growing middle class. The structure has been altered slightly over the years, but the integrity of the structure remains such that the style and type can still be understood.
The property is associated with Frederick Bell, who was an established apple farmer in Burlington. The property has historical links to its surroundings, specifically the former residence to the east at 2012 Victoria Ave., also historically owned by members of the Bell family, and lands to the east of the property that were once part of the Bell Orchard Lands.
