Attachment A - 87 Scott StreetRaida Chowdhury From: no reply@esolutionsgroup.ca Sent: Friday, April 28, 2023 12:56 PM To: Great Places (SM) Subject: New Response Completed for Great Places Awards - 2023 Attachments: 2023-04-28-079.pdf Hello, Please note the following response to Great Places Awards - 2023 has been submitted at Friday April 28th 2023 12:50 PM with reference number 2023-04-28-079. • Nomination type Mike & Pat Wagner heritage award • Mike & Pat Wagner heritage award Preservation / restoration of cultural heritage resources • Has this project been nominated before? No • Name of project being nominated 87 Scott Street • Project address/ location 87 Scott Street, Kichener, ON • Why are you nominating this project? As many of the historic homes surrounding 87 Scott St were demolished, it is critical that this building is acknowledged and respected as a record of Kitchener's growth. There are many examples in this city of historic buildings that have been demolished due to neglect when they could have become great spaces. Conversely, there are structures that have been rehabilitated and are now cherished parts of the city's infrastructure. We feel this nomination speaks to the tremendous reward associated with protecting a historical resource that is a functional part of the City of Kitchener, and the responsibility we all have as stewards of the built environment. • Main contact name Carrie Curtis • Address (main contact) 50 Westmount Road N., Suite 230, Waterloo ON, N21L 6N9 • Phone number (main contact) 519-224-0202 • Email (main contact) ccurtis@killamreit.com 1 • Name (nominator) ABA Architects Inc. • Street address (nominator) 101 Randall Drive • City (nominator) Waterloo • Province (nominator) ON • Postal code (nominator) N2V1C5 • Phone (nominator) 5198842711 • Email (nominator) off ice@abarchitect.ca • Nominator confirmation By checking this box, I as nominator confirm I have notified the nominee /property owner and have received their permission to make this nomination. • Enter answer below: The two-storey home at 87 Scott St is an asset to the City of Kitchener in its encapsulation of an architecture that is rich with detail, robustness, and a sophistication lent for the simple purpose of domesticity. The property stands as a living resource for the people who inhabit the city; it is a unique example of Italianate architecture that was prevalent in Kitchener in the 1860s, up to the 1890s. The Italianate style, as it was imported from overseas in the 1800s, is defined by wide, overhanging eaves, paired eave brackets, and tall, segmentally arched windows. At the time of its inception, this style of architecture was applicable to multiple different sizes of homes so that it could be available to the domestic class, thus disseminating the merits of craftsmanship in a manner that was gracious and versatile. The property at 87 Scott St is particularly notable for its buff brick walls and rubble stone foundation, signature Italianate brackets and fascia, narrow double -pane windows, and hipped roof with overhanging eaves. It incorporates an original square shape and asymmetrical south elevation, although the front porch with pediment and 1 1/2 storey addition at the rear were built after the original structure. Internally, it is divided into an upper and lower apartment that reflects the building's history as a boarding house from the 1930s. Despite the need for conservation, this property fell into disrepair as it was badly weathered and poorly maintained. The overall condition of the fagade became compromised as its various components were subject to rot and water damage. Using the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada, ABA and their consulting team determined that the recommended methodology for the primary treatment of the building was rehabilitation. Rehabilitation ensures that a historic place such as 87 Scott St can still be compatible with contemporary uses while preserving heritage value. With these considerations, the work undertaken by ABA did not substantially alter the character -defining elements and heritage attributes of this building, 2 but rather recognized that this historic place is a record of an identity that is both part of its time and should be available far into the future. The justice we speak to as builders of the physical environment must testify to the idea that we are creating a landscape for the City that is imbued with forethought and permanence. The buildings we construct must be worthy of conservation in their significance as we perceive their lives through time. This is clearly demonstrated by the rehabilitation of 87 Scott St into a duplex; what was becoming a derelict, languishing monument was elevated to a modern standard through both the retention and replacement of original materials while maintaining the integrity of the home's character to the greatest degree possible. Much of the work undertaken by ABA on the exterior of the building was cosmetic to ensure that the craftsmanship of the 1800s was faithfully captured. Internally, the design utilizes the building's tall, Italianate windows to create bright, inviting spaces. Interior finishes are selected and installed to a level of detail redolent of the exterior, replacing the damaged elements that were not previously maintained. Regular maintenance is the best way to ensure that a cultural heritage resource is appropriately conserved over the long term, and so ABA respects that a long-term conservation plan, including annual inspections, is integral to the longevity of this incredible place. As many of the historic homes surrounding 87 Scott St were demolished, it is critical that this building is acknowledged and respected as a record of Kitchener's growth. There are many examples in this city of historic buildings that have been demolished due to neglect when they could have become great spaces. Conversely, there are structures that have been rehabilitated and are now cherished parts of the city's infrastructure. ABA believes that this nomination speaks to the tremendous reward associated with protecting a historical resource that is a functional part of the City of Kitchener, and the responsibility we all have as stewards of the built environment.
