BACKGROUND: On January 1St, 2023 amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) came into effect through Bill 23, the More Homes Build Faster Act. One of the primary changes introduced was the imposition of a new timeline which requires "listed" properties on the Municipal Heritage Register to be evaluated to determine if they meet the criteria for heritage designation before January 1St, 2025. Listed properties are properties that have not been designated, but that the municipal Council believes to be of cultural heritage value or *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 221 of 294 interest. The criteria for designation is established by the Provincial Government (Ontario Regulation 9/06, which has now been amended through Ontario Regulation 569/22) and a minimum of two must be met for a property to be eligible for designation. A work plan to address these changes has been developed by Heritage Planning Staff with consultation from the Heritage Kitchener Committee on February 7t", 2023. Implementation of the work plan has now commenced. This report contains a summary of the findings for the properties recently reviewed, and recommendations for next steps. Progress on Work Plan Implementation As part of the work plan proposed in February 2023, Heritage Planning Staff committed to the review of 80 properties listed on the Municipal Heritage Register prior to January 1, 2025. As of the date of this report, a review has been complete for 64 properties. 6 properties are before the Committee as of the date of this report to be considered for designation. 22 properties have fully undergone the designation process. 17 properties are currently undergoing the designation process and are at various stages of completion. 15 properties have been reviewed and determined that no action should be taken at this time. REPORT: Ontario Regulation 569/22 (Amended from Ontario Regulation 9/06) Among the changes that were implemented through Bill 23, the Ontario Regulation 9/06 — which is a regulation used to determine the cultural heritage value or interest of a property, was amended through Ontario Regulation 569/22 (O. Reg. 569/22). Where the original regulation had three main categories — design/physical, historical/associative and contextual - with three (3) sub -categories for determining cultural heritage value, the amended regulation now lists all nine (9) criteria independently. The new regulation has been amended to the following: 1. The property has design value or physical value because it is a rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method. 2. The property has design value or physical value because it displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit. 3. The property has design value or physical value because it demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement. 4. The property has historical value or associative value because it has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community. 5. The property has historical or associative value because it yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture. 6. The property has historical value or associative value because it demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect, artist, builder, designer or theorist who is significant to a community. 7. The property has contextual value because it is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character of an area. Page 222 of 294 8. The property has contextual value because it is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings. 9. The property has contextual value because it is a landmark. Also, among the changes brought about by Bill 23 are how properties can now be listed or designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. They include: • Properties would warrant being listed on the City's Municipal Heritage Register if they met one or more criteria of O. Reg 9/06 (amended through O. Reg. 569/22). • Properties could be designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act if they meet two or more criteria of O. Reg 9/06 (amended through O. Reg. 569/22). The following 6 properties were reviewed and meet the following criteria: 51 Breithaupt Street The subject property municipally addressed as 51 Breithaupt Street meets five (5) of the nine (9) criteria of O.

Ltd. Original Use: Industrial Condition: Good 57 53 Page 227 of 294 Description of Cultural Heritage Resource 51 Breithaupt Street consists of a series of buildings built between 1903 and 1977. The buildings range in height from one to four storeys. The original building and early additions were built in the Industrial Vernacular architectural style with later additions being more modern in appearance. The buildings are situated on a 2.18 acre parcel of land located on the north side of King Street West between Victoria Street North and Breithaupt Street in the Mt. Hope Huron Park planning community of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resources that contribute to the heritage value are the original building and early additions. Heritage Value 51 Breithaupt Street is recognized for its design/physical, historic/associative, and contextual values. Desipn/Physical Value 51 Breithaupt Street is recognized for its design, physical, historical and contextual values. The original buildings and early additions are representative of the Industrial Vernacular architectural style. The buildings were likely built in a series of six stages with architectural details that vary with the age of the buildings. The original building is a four -storey yellow brick building in the middle of the current complex of buildings on Breithaupt Street, with additions and renovations being made in 1908, 1909, 1912, 1918, 1929-30, 1953, 1955, 1966, 1969, 1999, 2000, and 2001. Furthermore, there have been numerous internal modifications as well. The additions could be described as buildings with their distinctive architectural style, however they were still built with an industrial function in mind. Certain architectural features of the site include but are not limited to: brick buttresses, stone sills and headers on windows and brick parapet with decorative brick detailing. Historical/Associative Value The site has historical and associative value for its original use and owner of the property — Merchants Rubber Co. Ltd, Jacob Kaufman, and Talmon Henry Reider. This site also has historical and associative value due to its contribution to the economic development of Kitchener (then Berlin) at the start of the 20th century. The property was the site of the Berlin Piano and Organ Co. building that was erected in 1891, which was later taken over by Foster -Armstrong and Co to manufacture Haines Brothers and, Marshall and Wendell pianos. This original three storey building no longer remains as it was demolished in 1955 in order to construct a new modern addition. The oldest building that remains on site was constructed in 1903 and housed the Merchants Rubber Co. Ltd., which was founded by Jacob Kaufman and T.H. Rieder. Jacob Kaufman sold out to T.H. Rieder in 1906 and, along with the Berlin Rubber Co., became part of the Canadian Consolidated Rubber Co. in 1907. During WWI, the company employed as many as 526 people and produced approximately 15000 shoes a day. In 1926, the Canadian Consolidated Rubber Co. became the Dominion Rubber Co. Ltd. Until 1969, these companies primarily produced footwear. In 1969, Dominion Rubber Co. Ltd. began to produce automobile parts. Page 228 of 294 This building was constructed at a time when Berlin was experiencing exponential economic growth, and has the potential the yield an understanding of the economic development of Berlin at the turn of the 20th century. Today, this site is used by Google as their main headquarters in the Kitchener -Waterloo Area. As part of this adaptive re -use, certain changes were made to building along with a new building on the neighboring property connecting with the existing buildings at 51 Breithaupt. However, this site still maintains its overall integrity and cultural heritage value. Jacob S. Kaufman Jacob S. Kaufman was born on July 15, 1847 on a farm near New Hamburg, Ontario. He was a prominent and influential businessman in Kitchener (then Berlin) who started his career in the lumber industry in Gadshill. He married Mary Ratz in 1877 and moved to Berlin where the larger community offered more economic opportunity. He built a mill manufacturing doors and window sashes, eventually incorporating his company as Jacob Kaufman Limited. In 1899, he encouraged George Schlee to organize The Berlin Rubber Company and was heavily involved financially. In 1903, Kaufman was also involved in the organization of the Merchants Rubber Company and was assisted in this venture by Talmon Henry Reider. Kaufman died in Kitchener on April 20, 1920. Talmon Henry Reider Talmon Henry Reider was born in New Hamburg, Ontario on August 10, 1878. In 1899, he was the bookkeeper and minor shareholder of the newly formed Berlin Rubber Company, and in 1903, was appointed as the general manager by Jacob Kaufman for the newly formed Merchants Rubber Company. In 1907, these two companies merged with the Canadian Consolidated Rubber Company, leading to Reider, who was then the vice-president and director, to control five (5) rubber footwear factories. IN 1912-1913, he negotiated the purchase of the property and the building of the Dominion Tire Company (later Uniroyal), and in 1917, he became the president of the largest rubber company in Canada. However, he would only work there for 2 years, resigning in 1919 and accepting the position of president for Ames -Holden -McCready Ltd. Reider died on April 15, 1922. Contextual Value 51 Breithaupt Street has contextual value because it is important in maintaining and supporting the character of the area. The site is located within the Warehouse District Cultural Heritage Landscape, and near other industrial buildings that were built parallel to the Canadian National Railways tracks. The buildings remain in their original locations, along with many of the original industrial sites nearby.

The subject property contains a bank barn, drive shed, and agricultural fields once associated with the Ontario Gothic Revival farmhouse municipally addressed as 1738 Trussler Road. The subject property is situated on a 62.36 -acre parcel of land located at the southeast corner of Trussler Road and Huron Road while the farmhouse is situated on a 0.92 acre parcel of land located on the east side of Trussler Road between Huron Road and Plains Road. Both properties are in the South Plains Planning Community of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principle resources that contribute to the heritage value of the subject property are the bank barn, drive shed, and agricultural fields as well as the adjacent farmhouse municipally addressed as 1738 Trussler Road. Heritage Value The subject property is recognized for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values. Desipn/Physical Value The subject property demonstrates design/physical value as a representative example of a late -19th century bank barn and drive shed. The buildings have many intact heritage attributes in good condition. The bank barn features: L -shape plan; gable rooflines; tin roof; three cupolas; vertical board siding; 6/6 hung window and window opening; man door and door opening; sliding doors and door openings; hardware; silo; and, field stone foundation. The drive shed features: gable roofline; tin roof; vertical board siding; sliding doors and door openings; and, field stone foundation. Other Buildings The original farmhouse is located north of the bank barn and drive shed on a separate parcel of land (1738 Trussler Road). Historical/Associative Value The subject property has historical/associative value due to its history and association with early settlement, Daniel and Jacob Erb, Joseph Bamburger, John Chapman, Reuben Eby, Simon Hallman, Ida Hallman, and the Trussler family. Daniel and Jacob Erb sold the land to Joseph Bamburger in 1805 who then sold to John Chapman in 1848. John Chapman Sr., born in 1811, came to Canada from England in the mid -1840's with his wife Lydia and his two children. A third child, John Jr., was born in Upper Canada in 1846. The 1851 Page 242 of 294 manuscript census indicates that the Chapman family resided in a one -storey log structure. It is assumed that the brick structure either replaced or covered the log structure. John Chapman sold the land to Reuben Eby in 1907 who then sold the land to Simon Hallman (b. August 28, 1886, d. May 21, 1976) in 1930. Simon married his wife, Ida Hallman (b. October 24, 1902, d. May 25, 1991), on December 18, 1923. The lands passed to Ida in 1955 and were sold to Trussler Farms in 1977. Contextual Value The contextual values relate to how the property helps to maintain and support the rural character of the area. The lands continue to be cultivated. Other heritage attributes that contribute to the contextual value are: the cluster of built features, including the farmhouse (1738 Trussler Road), the bank barn and the drive shed (c. 1879); the windbreak adjacent to the property municipally addressed as 2006 Huron Road; the cultivated fields and their topography; the mature woodlot; and, the spatial organization and visual/historic relationship between buildings and landscape elements. Specifically, the bank barn and drive shed are visually and historically linked to their surroundings, especially the farmhouse (1738 Trussler Road). Heritage Attributes The heritage value of the subject property resides in the following heritage attributes: • All elements related to the design/physical value of the bank barn, including: o L -shape plan; o gable rooflines; o tin roof; o lightning rod balls; o three cupolas; o vertical board siding; 0 6/6 hung window and window opening; o man door and door opening; o sliding doors and door openings; o door and window hardware; o silo; and, o field stone foundation. • All elements related to the design/physical value of the drive shed, including: o gable roofline; o tin roof; o lightning rod balls; o vertical board siding; o sliding doors and door openings; and, o field stone foundation. • All elements related to the contextual value of the subject property, including: o the cluster of built features, including the farmhouse (1738 Trussler Road), the bank barn and the drive shed (c. 1879); o the windbreak adjacent to the property municipally addressed as 2006 Huron Road; o the cultivated fields and their topography; o the mature woodlot; and, Page 243 of 294 o the spatial organization and visual/historic relationship between buildings and landscape elements.

The building is situated on a 87.59 -acre parcel of land located on the east side of Trussler Road between Bleams Road and Huron Road in the Rosenberg planning community of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resources that contribute to the heritage value are the log house, the smoke house, the laneway and surrounding agricultural fields. Page 254 of 294 Heritage Value 1478 Trussler Road is recognized for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values. Desipn/Physical Value The property demonstrates design/physical value as a rare and early example of a mid -19t" century log house built in the Georgian architectural style with later additions featuring minor influences from the Gothic Revival architectural style. These values were described in a document entitled "Cultural Heritage Background Study. Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage Landscapes: Southwest Kitchener Urban Area Study' written by Nancy Z. Tausky in August 2010 and based on this research are further described below. The exterior appearance of the house has undergone many changes since the 1880. It was probably in the late nineteenth century that a front gable with a lancet window was added. In 1949 the verandah was removed, the present sun porch added, and the entire house covered with insulbrick. The house has since been covered with grey aluminum siding and the lancet window in the gable replaced by a rectangular sash window. At some point, an additional room was built south of the back kitchen, and a back extension was built to the north. A garage and sitting room were built onto the east side of the house. The property also demonstrates design/physical value as a rare and well conserved example of a smoke house. The smoke house features: brick construction; front gable roof; and, interior slats of ceiling and attached hooks. Further, the design/physical values were originally described in a document entitled "Architectural Analysis — 1478 Trussler Road" written by Don Ryan on June 5, 1991, and based on this research are further described below. The house has a new roof with grey asphalt shingles. The Front (South) Facade features the central gable dormer influenced by the Gothic Revival architectural style. The windows are new, but the window openings retain the symmetry of the original windows. The Rear (North) Fagade features two kitchen annexes: one built shortly after the log house, and the other about 1900. The Side (East) Fagade features a contemporary front porch and deck that wraps around the east elevation, and a garage and sitting room have also been built off the east elevation. Don Ryan (1991) goes on to describe changes to the log house. In 1949 the original roofed verandah, which spanned the front elevation, was removed and the present asymmetric porch was built. The return eaves and the pointed Gothic window were lost when the roof was rebuilt in 1938. All the windows and exterior doors are new. Two chimneys have been removed. The garage and sitting room were built in 1988. Interior Value These values were described in a document entitled "Cultural Heritage Background Study: Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage Landscapes: Southwest Kitchener Urban Area Study' written by Nancy Z. Tausky in August 2010 and based on this research are further described below. Inside, however, the house retains almost all of its original features and much of its original character. The fireplace wall of the old kitchen is largely intact, with its original mantelpiece, bake oven, warming oven with cabinet above the warming oven. The house retains its simple, single board door and window surrounds, its chair and picture rails, the wainscot in the present dining room, its wide floorboards, and Page 255 of 294 its original doors (some of which are panelled and some of which, in less public areas, are formed of vertical planks). Further, these design/physical values were originally described in a document entitled "Architectural Analysis — 1478 Trussler Road" written by Don Ryan on June 5, 1991, and based on this research are further described below. Inside one finds the original panelled doors, door hardware, and wainscotting. Upstairs, one room remains in its original condition with exposed plaster walls and ceiling. The enclosed staircase rises from the rear through the centre of the house. There are presently ten rooms inside. In the first (northeast) kitchen stands a large brick fireplace where maple syrup was once boiled. This room retains much of its original character. Historical/Associative Value The property municipally addressed as 1478 Trussler Road has historical/associative value due to its history and association with early settlement, and the Trussler family. Thomas George Trussler was born on December 10, 1831 in Fernhurst, Sussex, England (Waterloo Region Generations, 2001-2024). His obituary from the Waterloo Chronicle dated February 18, 1897 reads "Mr. Thomas Trussler, a highly esteemed citizen of our town, died at his home on Scott Street on Friday last after a prolonged illness, at the age of 66 years, 2 months and 2 days. Mr. Trussler emigrated with his parents to Canada in 1833, where they took up residence on the town line between Wilmot and Waterloo. In 1860 he was married to Miss Hannah Townsend. They then lived on a farm adjoining his father's until about 6 years ago when they moved to Berlin. His widow and five children, one son and four daughters, remain to mourn his death." (Waterloo Region Generations, 2001-2024). These values were described in a document entitled "Cultural Heritage Background Study. Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage Landscapes: Southwest Kitchener Urban Area Study' written by Nancy Z. Tausky in August 2010 and based on this research are further described below. Thomas Trussler, a son of George Trussler and a brother of George Gilbert, purchased Lot 145 of the German Company Tract from his father in 1861 and replaced the small log house where he had lived at the corner of Huron and Trussler Roads (later moved and inhabited by George G.) with a larger log building on his new property. A family photograph shows that by circa 1880 the house had been covered with wood or brick siding (characteristically stuccoed under the front verandah, behind the house one can just glimpse a back kitchen wing. Thomas's daughter, Alicia bought the farm from her father in 1891, and she and her sister Minnie lived there and managed the farm until 1899, racking up a toll of notorious rumours in the process: racing a sulky up and down the lane, holding dances in the implement shed, and smacking the lazy hired man while he was still in bed. Alicia sold the farm in 1899, for the next couple of decades it was tenanted or owned by a number of different persons. In 1917, Oscar Trussler bought the farm, and in 1934, Oscar's son Robert and his wife moved into his great-uncle's house. It stayed in the Trussler family until recently sold to the Karen and Gordon Doehn. An indenture (an agreement of purchase and sale) dated March 9, 1841 confirms that George Trussler purchased Lot 145 in 1841 and an indenture dated February 15, 1861 confirms that George Trussler sold some of his lands to his sons. Contextual Value The contextual values relate to physical, functional, visual and historic links between the log house, the smoke house and surrounding farmland. Although the barn and most outbuildings connected with the Page 256 of 294 farming operations are gone, the log house is still situated in its original location. The log house faces south and is setback from Trussler Road on a slight incline. The surrounding lands were traditionally used for mixed farmland and two apple orchards. The original smoke house is located adjacent to the east fagade of the house and was once used to smoke ham and sausages. Heritage Attributes The heritage value of 1478 Trussler Road resides in the following heritage attributes: • All elements related to the design/physical value of the log house built in the Georgian architectural style with later additions featuring minor influences from the Gothic Revival architectural style, including: o One -and -one-half storey height; o Irregular plan due to the presence of additions; o The original side gable roofline with Gothic dormer; o Log construction; o Door and window openings; and, o The two kitchen annexes. • All elements related to the design/physical value of the smoke house, including: o brick construction; o front gable roof; and, o interior slats of ceiling and attached hooks. • All elements related to the design/physical value of the interior of the log house, including: o The enclosed staircase that rises from the rear through the centre of the house; o The fireplace wall of the old kitchen with its original mantelpiece, bake oven, and warming oven with cabinet above; o Single board door and window surrounds; o Chair and picture rails; o Wainscotting in the present dining room; o Wide floorboards; and, o Original doors (some of which are panelled and some of which, in less public areas, are formed of vertical planks), and door hardware. • All elements related to the contextual value of the property, including: o Original location of the log house; o Orientation of the log house with the front elevation facing south; o Setback of the log house from Trussler Road on a slight incline; o Location of the smoke house; and, o Surrounding farmlands.

The property on Huron Road is a late 19th century farm with outbuildings. The farmhouse is situated on a 0.92 acre parcel of land located on the east side of Trussler Road between Huron Road and Plains Road while the outbuildings are situated on a 62.39 acre parcel of land located at the south east corner of Trussler Road and Huron Road in the South Plains Planning Community of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value is the farmhouse, and adjacent outbuildings, specifically the barn, located on Huron Road, and legally described as LT 17 S/S HURON RD, 18 S/S HURON RD, 19 S/S HURON RD, 20 S/S HURON RD PL 585 TWP OF WATERLOO; PT LT 3 S/S HURON RD, 4 S/S HURON RD, 5 S/S HURON RD, 6 S/S HURON RD, 7 S/S HURON RD, 8 S/S HURON RD, 15 S/S HURON RD, 16 S/S HURON RD, 21 S/S HURON RD PL 585 TWP OF WATERLOO; PT LT 149 GERMAN COMPANY TRACT KITCHENER AS IN 1200696 & 1200697, SAVE & EXCEPT PT 12 ON 58R-16920; KITCHENER. Heritage Value 1738 Trussler Road is recognized for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values. Desipn/Physical Value The property municipally addressed as 1738 Trussler Road demonstrates design/physical value as a representative example of a late -19th century brick farmhouse built in the Ontario Gothic Revival architectural style. The 1851 Manuscript Census suggests that a one -storey log structure was covered or replaced by the existing building. The building has many intact heritage attributes in good condition. Front (West) Facade The front fagade faces Trussler Road and contains three bays. The building features: side -gable roof with a central Gothic dormer; buff (yellow) brick laid in the stretcher bond style; second floor pointed arch (lancet) door and door opening with brick hoodmould with corbel stops; central verandah on the first and second floor; second floor verandah features square newel posts with ball caps, and simple top and bottom rails with square balusters; first floor verandah features highly decorative posts and pilasters with scroll brackets and moulded frieze; front door with segmentally arched transom; two segmentally arched windows, window openings and storm windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills; and, fieldstone foundation. Side (South) Facade The side fagade faces south and contains two bays plus a kitchen annex, which may have been original to the house. The first two bays feature: side -gable roof divided by a concrete block chimney; buff (yellow) brick construction; two 1/1 double hung flat head windows with segmentally arched window openings with brick voussoirs and wood sills on the second storey; two 2/2 double hung segmentally arched windows, window openings and storm windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills; and, a stone foundation. The kitchen annex features: cross -gable roof with a central Gothic dormer; buff (yellow) brick laid in the stretcher bond style; second floor pointed arch (lancet) window and window opening; first storey verandah with a hip roof and highly decorative posts pilasters with scroll brackets and moulded frieze; segmentally arched door and door opening with brick voussoirs; one 2/2 double hung segmentally arched window, window opening and storm window with brick voussoirs and wood sills; and, stone foundation. Another addition is in the rear but has limited visibility from the public realm. Page 270 of 294 Side (North) Fagade The side fagade faces north and features: side -gable roof; two 1/1 double hung flat head windows with segmentally arched window openings with brick voussoirs and wood sills on the second storey; two 2/2 double hung segmentally arched windows, window openings and storm windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills; and, a stone foundation. The kitchen annex to the rear has limited visibility from the public realm. Interior Value The interior design/physical values were originally described in a document entitled "Architectural Analysis — 1738 Trussler Road" written by Don Ryan on June 7, 1991, and based on this research are further described below. An unusual total of seven doors and one dog leg staircase in the kitchen may indicate that this section was an original dwelling. There is original wainscotting and panelled doors with original knobs and latches inside. The rooms remain divided as originally laid out. There is an enclosed, plain staircase directly before the front entrance. Original plaster clads the walls, and the door and baseboards mouldings remain intact. There is an interesting original moulded arch between the kitchen and the main house. Other Buildings The original barn with gable roof, vertical board siding, original hardware and stone foundation is located south of the house on a separate parcel of land. A new garage was constructed in 1999 that does not detract from the character of the farmhouse, barn or immediate surroundings. Historical/Associative Value The property municipally addressed as 1738 Trussler Road has historical/associative value due to its history and association with early settlement, Daniel and Jacob Erb, Joseph Bamburger, John Chapman, Reuben Eby, Simon Hallman, Ida Hallman, and the Trussler family. Daniel and Jacob Erb sold the land to Joseph Bamburger in 1805 who then sold to John Chapman in 1848. John Chapman Sr., born in 1811, came to Canada from England in the mid -1840's with his wife Lydia and his two children. A third child, John Jr., was born in Upper Canada in 1846. The 1851 manuscript census indicates that the Chapman family resided in a one -storey log structure. It is assumed that the brick structure either replaced or covered the log structure. John Chapman sold the land to Reuben Eby in 1907 who then sold the land to Simon Hallman (b. August 28, 1886, d. May 21, 1976) in 1930. Simon married his wife, Ida Hallman (b. October 24, 1902, d. May 25, 1991), on December 18, 1923. The lands passed to Ida in 1955 and were sold to Trussler Farms in 1977. Contextual Value The contextual values relate to how the property helps to maintain and support the rural character of the area. The farmhouse remains on its original location. A board and batten front gable garage contributes to the character of the property along with the cedar hedges delineating three sides of the property. The farmhouse is visually and historically linked to its surroundings, especially the rural farm property on the corner of Huron Road and Trussler Road where the original barn and driveshed still stand. This property is addressed off Huron Road (outlined in green on page 1) and legally described as Plan 585 Lots 18, 19, and 20 Part Lots 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, 16, and 21 SS Huron Road German Company Tract Part Lot 149.

The building is situated on a 0.19 acre parcel of land located on the south side of King Street West between Gaukel Street and Ontario Street South in the City Commercial Core Planning Community of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value is the commercial building. Heritage Value 103-109 King Street West is recognized for its design, physical, historic and contextual values. Design / Physical Value The building is a representative example of the Classic Revival architectural style. The building is in good condition with many intact original elements. The building features brick construction of a colour unique to the area, a brick parapet wall with intricate brick details, brick pilasters, continuous stone lintels and sills, and original window openings. Front Fagade 103-109 King Street West fronts onto King Street West. It's facade is divided vertically into two sections by three piers, three storeys in height which create two bays. The first floor of the building contains storefronts and its appearance has been modernized. The second storey contains a row of six windows, three in each bay. The windows do not appear to be original and the window openings on the eastern -most bay have been reduced in size. Below the windows are stone sills, and above and dividing the second storey from the third is a continuous stone lintel. The third storey contains a row of eight windows, four in each bay and all of a size. The windows do not appear to be original. These windows are also framed by stone lintels and sills. The roofline possesses a brick parapet with decorative brickwork. Historical / Associative Value The building was built c. 1908 as part of the Huehn Block built by Christian Huehn, an accountant for the Breithaupt Leather Company. He was also the founder of the Fischman Spring Company and he presented Kitchener with the site for St. Mary's General Hospital. The building is also associated with the Freemasons community presence in the City of Kitchener. The Freemasons are the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world, with bodies present in numerous countries. Within Ontario alone there are over 550 lodges, with 103-109 King Street West being the former home to Grand River Lodge 151. The first Masonic lodge within what was then the County of Waterloo was established in June 1861 and was instituted as Alma Lodge No. 72 in the Town of Galt. Grand River Lodge 151 was formed just one month later in July 1861. W. D. Perine was the first Master of the lodge and a known industrialist in the area. He and his brothers M.B Perine and J.S. Perine established the Doon Twine and Cordage Company in 1853, and the mill was the first of its kind in Canada to produce twine, rope, and curtain cordage. A number of other prominent male citizens have been members of the Freemasons, including but not limited to Alexander Millar (Berlin Business Lawyer), William Hendry (Manager of Ontario Mutual Life Assurance Company, now part of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada), Joseph E. Seagram (founder of Seagram Distillery), David Forsyth (leading educationist), and more. Page 284 of 294 The construction of the Huehn Block, including 107 King Street West, provided an opportunity for the Grand River Masonic Lodge to acquire a space more suitable for their organization. The upper floors of the building were designed to include a lodge room, a dinner room, and other rooms. The building served as the centre for Masonic activity for 47 years (c. 1908 — c.1956). Contextual Value The contextual value of 103-109 King Street West relates to its contribution in maintaining the commercial character of the surrounding area, as well as its physical, visual, and historical link to its surroundings. The subject property is located within the Downtown Cultural Heritage Landscape, which is within the City Centre District and is an area that has historically been recognized as the heart of the downtown and a focal point of the Region for development. The area is occupied by a mix of uses, with hotels, banks, and other commercial enterprises being the original anchors of the commercial core. Several of these historical anchors are still present and have been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, including the commercial building 115-117 King Street West directly adjacent to 103-109 King Street West to the west and 1-11 King Street West/18-20 Queen Street North (the Walper Hotel), 37 King Street West, and 41-45 King Street West in proximity to the east.

Page 288 of 294 Heritage Value 709 King Street West is recognized for design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values. Design/Physical Value The building is located on a corner bounded by King Street West, Agnes Street and Walter Street. The existing portion of the school which fronts onto King Street West is a good example of the Neo Classical architectural style. The building is in good condition with many intact original elements. The original school build c. 1887 fronted onto Agnes Street and was later modified by the Neo -Classical frontage in 1921, changing the orientation towards King Street West. The 1921 fagade is constructed of red brick with white mortar and features: Front (King Street West) Elevation.- The levation: The front fagade can be visually divided into three sections, with projecting end bays and a tiered central massing. The end bays have 2/5 casement windows with a 4 -pane transom, flanked with flat pilasters with an upper section of vertical grooves to represent capitals and topped with a triangular pediment; the existing casement windows replaced 18/18 single -hung windows c. 2018. Each end bay also has a venetian window with 6/6 section flanked by 3 -paned sidelights on the top floor and 6/6 windows to the basement level. The central section of the school contains the primary entrance, which is comprised of 12 -paned doors surrounded by an architrave, and topped by a projecting cornice visually supported by a bracket at each end. There are two 8/8 windows flanked by 2/5 sidelights on either side of the door. Above are a row of 2/5 casement windows topped with a two -pane transome and moulded panels. This storey also features moulded columns and the King Edward Public School sign. The top floor is recessed with one large 15/15 window in the center flanked by two triple 9/9 windows. The roofline features a projecting cornice with dentil row and plain frieze. Side (Agnes Street) Elevation: The side elevation of the 1921 portion of the building that fronts onto Agnes Street features two doors surrounded by an architrave, flanked by pilasters, with a cornice above carrying a wrought iron railing to simulate a balcony; moulded panels; 6/6 window separated from 4 -paned sidelights by half -round pilasters with vertical grooves forming capitals and topped with a wooden fan; 8/8/8 double hung windows and venetian window. Side (Interior) Elevation: The interior side elevation features two doors surrounded by an architrave, flanked by pilasters, with a cornice above carrying a wrought iron railing to simulate a balcony; moulded panels; 6/6 window separated from 4 -paned sidelights by half -round pilasters with vertical grooves forming capitals and topped with a wooden fan; 8/8/8 double hung windows, and venetian window. Page 289 of 294 Historical/Associative Value The school building was built in 1886 for a total cost of $4000 and was originally known as the Agnes Street Public School. It is the second -longest operating grade school within Kitchener. The construction of the school was essential, as the City (then known as Berlin) was experiencing rapid population growth which was resulting in overcrowding at the sole elementary school Central (now Suddaby Public School). Agnes Street Public School was opened under head teacher Maggie Hyndman in 1887, prior to Jennie Thomson being appointed principal in 1889. Over the next 10 years the City's population continued to grow rapidly, so four additional rooms were added to the school in 1897 for a cost of $5000. Janet Metcalfe was named principal this same year; 15 years earlier she had established Canada's first kindergarten class at Central School. By the turn of the century the school was full again, with approximately 750 pupils between kindergarten to grade 8 attending. In 1905 the school board adopted the name King Edward Public School, to honor the monarch King Edward VII. In 1921 a neo classical frontage was built onto the school, turning the eight classrooms to be oriented towards King Street and providing the building with its current appearance. In 1962 the school underwent further major construction, with portions of the original 1886 and 1897 building being demolished and replaced by a new wing which is comprised of a mostly -glass facade and set at a right angle to the King Street fagade, oriented along Agnes Street. Contextual Value 709 King Street West has contextual value as it is physically, functionally, and historically linked to its surroundings. The building exists in its original location, occupying a large corner lot on the prominent King Street. It maintains its original use as an elementary school. The building also maintains and supports the character of the area, being surrounded by residential family homes which have occupants who may utilize the school, and further being in proximity to other institutional uses including the Kitchener Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School located to the west at 787 King Street West. Further, the schools distinctive and attractive fagade make is easily recognizable within the local area.
