In the matter of the Ontario Heritage Act and in the matter of the lands in the City of Burlington known municipally as 380 Brant St.
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 380 Brant St. is comprised of an early, evolved, mid-to-late-19th century Ontario vernacular hotel building. The property is situated on the west side of Brant St., approximately 60 meters south of Elgin St., in the downtown core of the City of Burlington.
Summary Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest and Heritage Attributes
The property at 380 Brant St. is representative of an early, evolved, mid-to-late-19th century Ontario vernacular hotel building. The original portion of the building was built in 1860 as a simple two-storey Ontario vernacular frame hotel structure. This original structure was a box structure with rectangular windows and doors and wood cladding. When the hotel was renovated in 1894-1897, it was turned into a more elaborate hotel structure with an additional storey, red brick cladding and detailing (including brick dentils at the eaves, brick drip mounds on front façade windows, and quoins), and large full-width porch and balcony. The historic integrity of the structure (dating to the late 19th century alterations) is retained through its brick exterior, segmental and arched window and door openings, and red brick detailing including brick dentils, quoins, and drip moulds.
The proposed designation, including a full statement of its cultural heritage value and heritage attributes, can be viewed by contacting Legislative Services at clerks@burlington.ca to make an appointment. For more information or to request an electronic copy, please email heritage@burlington.ca.
