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 562 Maple Ave. contains a late 19th century former residence. The property is located on the west side of Maple Avenue.
Summary Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest and Heritage Attributes
The property at 562 Maple Ave. contains a representative example of late 19th century Gothic Revival former residential structure. The Gothic Revival style was popular in Ontario during much of the 19th century and it was promoted in The Canada Farmer in the 1860s, as an inexpensive farmhouse option and was also used in urban residential areas.
The residence was built in 1875 in the Gothic Revival style and was constructed of red brick. The structure contains a brick-clad addition to the north façade that appears to have been constructed by the early 20th century.
While there are some minimal alterations the overall style and type of the property can be understood as a representative example of a late 19th century Goth Revival structure. These design elements include its one- and one-half storey height, symmetrical three bay façade organization with central entrance flanked by windows, brick exterior, side gabled roof, central gable peak, gingerbread detailing on gable peak, and arched window in the gable peak with decorative wood sash window.
The property has direct associations with the theme of fruit-based agricultural production in the 19th and early 20th century.
