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 368 Brant St. contains a two-storey flat-roofed brick commercial/residential building with a one-storey frame rear wing. The property is located on the west side of lower Brant Street, between Elgin Street and Lakeshore Road, in the downtown core of the City of Burlington.
Summary Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest and Heritage Attributes
The property has design value as it includes a representative example of an early 20th century Ontario vernacular two-storey brick commercial/residential building. It has retained several original Classical architectural design features contributing to its design value, characteristic of late 19th and early 20th century commercial buildings in Ontario. Of particular note are the decorative brick embellishments on the front façade, including the cornice dentils along the parapet at the roofline, the corbelled pilasters, and the segmental brick arches above the transom and second-storey sash window.
The building also retains its Classical storefront with large plate glass display windows and a recessed store entrance. The ground floor entrance to the second floor also includes its original wood frame accented with a Classical style dentil shelf below the transom opening. Lastly, the second floor of the building has an oriel window which was an architectural feature popular in late 19th century (late Victorian era) that carried over into the 20th century. The property also has contextual value as it is important in maintaining and supporting the historical character of lower Brant Street, which was established by James Gage in 1810 as the main commercial corridor of Wellington Square, now the City of Burlington.
