This report has been commissioned by the Region of Waterloo as part of the Environmental Assessment process for the proposed road widening of Fischer-Hallman Road. This report was requested by the City of Kitchener as part of the planning for the road widening. It is undertaken at this point as a pre-heritage impact assessment report to determine if the property contains heritage resources of significance and how the proposed road widening may impact on these resources. The study has been completed by the Cultural Heritage Section of MHBC, led by Wendy Shearer, CAHP Cultural Landscape Specialist and David Cuming, CAHP, Built Heritage Specialist as well as Dr. Mary Tivy, Historian who completed the historical research. The study contains a description of the existing property as well as a full chronology of the site from the early settlement period as well as a description of the nature of the resources that are currentlyon site. This report does not contain any investigation of archaeological resources and is focused on the cultural landscape and the built heritage resources. It should be further noted that the work that has been undertaken was completed without full access to the buildings on site. All investigation was done from the public road right-of- way atthe request of the owners. No access was allowed to the propertyor insidethe buildings. 2.0 Historical Background 1198 WESTMOUNT RD. E. KITCHENER (now known as 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road) PT LT 2 RCP 1483 KITCHENER AS IN 179422 EXCEPT PT 11 58R7061; KITCHENER OWNER SINCE 1958: SCHERL, ANNELIESE; SCHERL, JOHN LAND REGISTRY INFORMATION -PIN 227240006 MHBC PLANNING 2 2-3 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road, Cultural Assessment Overview Introduction 1198 Westmount Road E. Kitchener is located at the N.E corner of the crossroads of the former hamlet of Williamsburg (Bleams Road and former County Road 50, later Westmount Road E. and renamed Fischer-Hallman Road in this section) in the former Waterloo Township. It is an area approximating five acres. Built structures on this property include a one and one-half storey frontgablehouse with stucco exteriorwith a one-storey addition on its eastern facade, a wood barn with rubble-stone foundation and a wood garage. Chronologyof Settlement Township of Waterloo: Histand and Bechtel Tracts Waterloo Township was created in 1849 and dissolved on December 31, 1972 with the introduction of regional government. As historian Elizabeth Bloomfield notes, Waterloo Township has the most complex survey system and associated pattern of land ownership of more than 500 townships in southern Ontario. Part of Williamsburg lies in the Histand Tract, a parcel of 726 acres purchased in 1804 by David Histand, a settler from Pennsylvania, and the remainder of Williamsburg is located in the Bechtel Tract, an area of 3150 acres purchased by George Bechtel in 1800. Maps indicate the Histand Tract as being west of County Road 50, and the Bechtel Tract lying east of County Road 50; both of these Tracts were bisected by Bleams Road. Neither of tracts was surveyed into lots. Although lying east of County Road 50,1198 Westmount Road E. is recorded in the land records as being in the Histand Tract. Ontario Land Records Office (LRO) transaction records for these parcels are incomplete and without lot numbers, thus identifying properties requires plotting metes and bounds from remaining land records. In addition, land sales were not always registered at the time of their transaction, complicating ownership identification. Despite this difficulty it is possible to trace the property ownership of 1198 Westmount Road E. to the mid-nineteenth century. Hamlet of Williamsburg The Hamletof Williamsburg was located in the lower blockof the former Waterloo Township. Various sources locate its name to Anton Wilhelm, who founded the hamlet in 1846 with Philip Fischer, or to William Moyerwhoowned much of the property in the area. The hamlet was centred geographically on the crossroads of Bleams Road and County Road 50. MHBC PLANNING 3 2-4 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road, Cultural Assessment Overview By 1861, Williamsburg (based on the S.S. 7 school district enumeration) had a population of 349 over an area of 2620 acres. Primarily a farming community, other occupations included a blacksmith, shoemaker, turner, 2 carpenters, 2 coopers and 2 tailors, as well as a millwright and sawyer working in Abram Clemen's nearby mill. Almost all those living in Williamsburg were German-speaking immigrants from Europe, with equal numbers of Lutherans and Roman Catholics from German principalities. Extant structures from this period still at the crossroads of Williamsburg potentially include 1198 Westmount Road. E., and the Williamsburg schoolhouse, (Waterloo Township S.S. No. 7) situated diagonally opposite 1198 Westmount Road E., and which was in use from 1842 until 1966. It has been adapted for reuse as a residential property. Until 1989 arubble-stone blacksmith shop believed to date from the mid-nineteenth century was situated on the northwest corner of Bleams and Westmount Rd. E., opposite 1198 Westmount Road E. It is labeled on the 1861 Tremaine map as a blacksmith shop owned by William Hacker, but was demolished in 1989. The remaining rubble has since been removed as new housing developments have covered the once rural landscape north of Bleams road, with the exception of 1198 Westmount Road E. Structures shown directly across Bleams Rd. from 1198 Westmount Rd. E. on the 1881 Illustrated Atlas of the County of Waterloo have also disappeared. 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road is most likely the property sold off from a larger tract of land by William Moyer to Conrad Hett, a German Lutheran, in January 1858; listed as 6 acres with a value of X262 (LRO abstract lists sale, but the instrument Number 1713 is missing.) Hett is recorded in the 1861 census as a "spinning wheel maker" with a family of five living in a one and one-half storey plank house. Plank houses are rare in the 1861 census: less than 3% of houses in Waterloo Township are listed as plank. The 1861 agricultural census for Waterloo Township shows Conrad Hett as having a spinning wheel business of $500 capital, 200 feet of lumber. He "works by the Haus." The 1861 Tremaine map shows the area in question marked with the initials "J.H and CH." The 1864 Waterloo County Directory information suggests John Weber, cooper, and not Conrad Hett, may have been occupying the property at that time although the property sale from Conrad Hett to John Weber was not registered until June 1866 for $400.00. The instrument description (Number 3635 "Bargain MHBC PLANNING 4 2-5 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road, Cultural Assessment Overview and Sale") matches the subject lot description as in 179422. The 1867 tax assessment lists the property as 7.5 acres with a value of $375, and John Weber's family of 10 residing there. The 1881 Waterloo County Atlas indicates built structures on the property. The property remained registered to the Weber family until 1913, and has been in six family names since, including the present ownerswho purchased the property in 1958. Topographic maps from 1910 - 1984 show a built structure in the same location on the property. An aerial photo from 1949 indicates structures in their current location. There is no indication in the tax assessment records that subsequent owners after John Weber improved the property with new buildings, although the house has an addition to the east that cannot be fully viewed without access to the property and buildings cannot be accurately dated without an on-site visit. Tax assessment records between 1861-1920 shows consistent land values during this period. Land is valued at $200 and buildings at approximately $300 until 1943 when it is sold for $1700. Owners of the property during the tax assessment period available kept just a few animals for domestic consumption (a couple of hogs and sheep). The property appears not to be primarily a farm, allowing for the relatively small barn. It is not until 1958 that the property sale price increases significantly from $1900 (14/2/58) to $10,000 (11 /06/58). At this point the land has been identified (1948) by by-law as an area for urban development, probably increasing land value, rather than new construction on the property. On 26/02/69 part of land is sold to the Imperial Oil Company for $10,000. The present house at 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road is likely the structure built by Conrad Hett or John Weber prior to 1867. It is very possible that it is the one and one-half storey plank house listed in the 1861 census, although this likelihood cannot be accurately assessed without access to the structure. If so, the house can be considered a rare example of mid-nineteenth century vernacular wood construction. The barn may also be original to the site. A drawing of the barn was featured on an undated Canadian "Save the Children" Christmas card from the 1960s or 1970s. It shows the existing conifer and deciduous tree on the northwest corner of the barn.The garage appears to be a later addition to the property. Other possible outbuildings on the property cannot be identified without access to the property. MHBC PLANNING 5 2-6 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road, Cultural Assessment Overview 3.0 Cultural Landscape and Built Heritage Resources The property at 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road contains buildings and landscape features indicative of an agricultural past. The built heritage consists of three structures, a frame barn, stucco sided one and a half storey residence and a clapboard sided garage located immediately along Fischer-Hallman Road. 3.1 Landscape Setting The landscape setting for the three structures contains mature vegetation such as Norway spruce, sugar maple, Manitoba maple, Blue spruce and deciduous shrubs typical of a rural property. There is evidence of early farming activities in the layout of the surrounding fields which reveal the rolling topography of the area demarcated by fences and, in some areas, naturalized trees located along thefence lines. The farmstead core is accessed directly from Fischer-Hallman road by means of a driveway located immediately north of the garage building. The driveway rises into the site which opens up intoaflat lawn area immediatelysurroundingthe house. The elevation of thefloorof the garage is the same as the shoulderof the road whereas the elevation of the remainder of the site is higher requiring that the garage be built into the slope. Given the location of the entrance to the second floor of the barn it appears as if an earlier bank that allowed vehicles to enter onto the floor in the traditional pattern of the two storey barn has been altered with the recent reconstruction of Fischer-Hallman that has removed the bank. Immediately east of the barn is a collection of pens and sheds that reveal earlier agricultural activity which are in a current state of collapse and no longer in use. The elevation of the house is on a level above Fischer-Hallman Road allowing for a visual setback and separation of the house from thetrafficon the road. The farmstead is lined on the south and east by Norway spruce trees of a variety of ages. They appear to date from the mid-20tH century. The vegetation immediately adjacent to the road consists of a mature Manitoba maple located on the northwest corner of the barn and larger Norway spruce trees. These appear to be earlier specimens compared to those within the site itself. As well, thereare smallertrees,100mm diameterof Black walnut along the road side definition. MHBC PLANNING 6 2 ~ 7 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road, Cultural Assessment Overview 3.2 The Barn The barn is set on a granite field stone rubble foundation which, because of the elevation of the property is not fully visible from Fischer-Hallman Road but only the east side of the barn. The barn is vertical board siding and at some point in the past it was painted red. The eastern facade has windows and the overall dimensions of the barn is approximately 13 m by 10.5 m indicating that it was part of a small holding and used for production of food for the family rather than a mixed farm operation. On the south part of the barn is a lean-to shed with horizontal board siding which without interior investigation we are unable to confirm earlier uses and age. It is possible that it contained workshop activities. The west side of the barn contains a single farm door wide enough for equipment to enter the barn. This is not a double wide opening which onewould expectwith alarge barn used for large scale mixed farms. The roof is corrugated metal and on top is a lightning rod with a weathervane. The barnyard consists of an area that is lined with sheds and pens and there are remnants of fencing which indicate earlier enclosures for animals. There is a remnant driveway from Fischer-Hallman to the area immediately north the barn with a farm gate. The air photo reveals a path between the house and the southeast cornerof the barn. 3.3 The Residence The house itself consists of a gable roofed residence with a large extension on the rear or eastern side. The overall dimensions of the residence are approximately 13 m by 8 m. The front facade has twowindowsand the building has theformand dimensions of an earlier building that likely had a central doorway in the front facade wall. There is a chimney on the northwest of the house. The roof is corrugated metal and the siding is white stucco. Without further investigation it is not possible to determine the substructure under the stucco. MHBC PLANNING 7 2 ~ V 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road, Cultural Assessment Overview The house is accessible from Fischer-Hallman by means of a driveway located north of the garage. 3.4 Garage The garage has a hip roof which has asphalt shingles on the west and north sides and corrugated metal on the east and south sides. The garage roof appears to have an under layer of wood shingles. The siding consists of vertical clapboard. It has double wide access doors on the west side which lead directly from the shoulderof the road intothe garage. The poured concrete foundation is visible on the west and south sides indicating that the building was constructed into the bank using the concrete foundation as a retaining wall. On the south side of the building there are three panels and the centre panel has an insertof three small windows. The materials for the garage indicate that it is of later construction datingfrom the 20t"century. 4.0 HeritageValue and Interest Ontario Regulation 09/06 identifies several aspects of a property which may have heritage interestorvalue.These include one or more of the following criteria; design or physical value, associative or contextual value. This regulation is intended to be used to determine the potential for designation of a property and it is used frequently as a checklist to identify heritagevalueor interest. Based on the criteria, 1198 Fischer Hallman Road has both physical and associative value. The historical research indicates that at times in the past this property has been occupied by families with a small collection of animals in the barn to support the family and as well at various times in the past there was a small spinning wheel fabrication shopand cooperage. These activities are associated with early settlement patterns primarily the small scale industrial operations integrated in the early agricultural setting. The research further indicates that in 1861 the house was described as having plankconstruction. MHBC PLANNING $ 2-9 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road, Cultural Assessment Overview This terminology is used in the Bloomfield documentation to describe a type of construction found in the Region. The consultants are aware of a similar construction in a nearby farm house where part of the house was constructed with vertical planks. Sawn planks were installed vertically in a notched horizontal memberthat lies across the top of thefoundation wall and the tops of the planks are attached to another horizontal member. This vertical plank construction may be found within the residence at 1198 Fischer-Hallman on further investigation. Further investigation is needed in order to fully describe the physical aspects of the property and its heritage significance. 5.0 Impact of Road Widening on Built Heritage Resources The Barn Any further road widening to the east will affect the barn. The structure has already been impacted by the work completed on Fischer Hallman Road and access to the second floor for equipment is no longer possible. Further studyof the structure should be completed before a final decision is made regarding its treatment. Options for the barn include dismantling and disposal, salvage of materials, or reassembly (in whole or in part) in a new location. Whatever the course taken, the building should be fully documented by the preparation of a photographic record and measured plans. ThA Nni icp Based on the historical research, it is possible that the house is a surviving example of plank construction dating from the mid 19tH century. This would convey heritage value because of its early design, craftsmanship and rarity. The immediate setting of the house adds contextual heritage value. The heritage significance of the residence can only be confirmed with an investigation of the structure and interior. This would allow for a condition assessment as well as confirmation of the date and materials. Without such information the option with the least impact on the house is to plan for retention of the house in situ providing the maximum setback from the road allowance and the edge of the pavement. MHBC PLANNING 9 2-10 1198 Fischer-Hallman Road, Cultural Assessment Overview The Garage a~ Since the existing road allowance runs along the west frontage of the building, any further road widening will have an impact on the garage. The ongoing usefulness of the garage has been impacted by past road widening and as is, cars backing out of the garage back directly onto Fischer Hallman Road. Further study and documentation of the structure should be completed before selection of a preferred treatment. Options for the garage are dismantling and disposal, salvage of materials or reassembly in a new location.
