BACKGROUND: On January 1 st, 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 *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. designation before January 1St, 2025. Bill 200, the Homeowners Protection Act, 2024, extended the time municipalities have to designate properties listed on their municipal heritage registers until January 1, 2027. Listed properties are properties that have not been designated, but that the municipal Council believes to be of cultural heritage value or 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 been on going since 2023. 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 completed for 86 properties. 7 properties are before the Committee as of the date of this report to be considered for designation. 27 properties have fully undergone the designation process. 37 properties are currently undergoing the designation process and are at various stages of completion. 14 properties have been reviewed and determined that no action should be taken at this time, and 1 NOID has been withdrawn by Council. 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. 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.

The building is situated on am irregularly shaped 1.15 acre parcel of land located on the east side of Agnes Street between Dominion Street and Park Street in the Cherry Hill Planning Community of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value is the institutional building. Heritage Value 69 Agnes Street is recognized for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual value. Desipn/Physical Value The design value of the subject property relates to the architecture of the institutional building, specifically the red brick portion constructed in 1927 with some alterations that have occurred over a period of years. 69 Agnes Street is an example of the Vernacular architectural style with Art Deco influences. The building is in good condition and features: a two storey building with an asymmetrical composition; red brick construction; exposed concrete foundation, central two storey tower and smaller tower near south end of front fagade; concrete banding below the parapet with concrete motifs; 4/4 and 1/1 windows arranged in groups of two, three, four, seven and eight with concrete sills; the north entrance features a one -storey glazed entranceway will terrazzo floor; and, the south entrance features an unclosed entranceway with roof. The influences of the Art Deco style can be seen in the the streamline design of the building, repetition of elements, and the use of geometrical shapes broken up by ornamental motifs. Front Fagade The front fagade of the building is asymmetrical in its design and massing, though many of the architectural features make use of symmetry and repetition. There are two projecting towers which vertically divide the building into three major sections; the first section is north of the first tower, the central section is between the two towers, and the third section is to the south of the second tower. The northern end section can be further divided vertically into five parts. The first four are comprised 4/4 and 1/1 windows arranged into groups of three or four, with the ground floor windows having concrete sills and being separated from the second -storey windows by decorative panels above. There is a parapet with two concrete motifs and concrete banding, and the roofline is flat and staggered. A one -storey glass vestibule projects out from the northern end sections and abuts the first tower. Above the glass vestibule there is a group of seven windows with a concrete sill. The first tower is greater in height then the adjacent sections, with a flat concrete roof. It contains a group of three by three 1/1 windows, the bottom row is capped by a concrete sill, and the top row is crowned with vertical cladding. The central recessed section can be vertically divided into six parts, five of which are comprised of groups of 3 4/4 and 1/1 windows. As with the northern end section, the ground floor windows have concrete sills and there are decorative panels underneath the second -floor windows. The parapet is this section possesses the same concrete banding and one concrete motif, and the roofline again has some variation in its height. There is a one -storey brick addition that abuts the first tower, and it contains two groups of two 1/1 windows with concrete sills on the front and one group of two 1/1 windows on the side. The second tower is similar in appearance to the first, possessing the same grouping of three -by - three 1/1 windows with the bottom row having a concrete sill. The second tower lacks the vertical cladding that can be found in the first tower, and contains one window of glass blocks on the ground floor. The southern end section of the 1927 portion of the building contains a covered entranceway with a flat roof on the ground floor, and a single group of eight windows with concrete sill on the second. The parapet contains the concrete banding but no additional motifs. Modifications The two towers, as well as the vestibule, 1 -storey ground floor addition, and roof over the second entrance do not appear to be original to the building but instead were added on sometime after then 1955 fire. Exact construction dates for these components are unknown, though a building map from 1976 show they were present. The additions utilize the same red brick and similar groupings of windows, making them compatible with the design of the original building. Other modifications include alterations to some windows, and the removal of a third central entranceway, the removal of the "Granite Club" sign that was embedded into the parapet, and changes to the decorative panels on the front fagade. Historical/Associative Value The subject property has historic and associative due to the original landowner and historic tenants as well as its association with the sport of curling and badminton with the Region. It also has the potential to contribute to an understanding of the development and progression of sports and sport associations / clubs within Kitchener and Waterloo. The sport of curling has a long history within Kitchener, with the first games being played on a rink at the corner of Gaukel and Charles Street in the early 1880's. After an initial joint venture between curling clubs from Waterloo and Kitchener failed in the mid 1920's, the Athletic Association of Kitchener and Waterloo was incorporated on August 20th, 1927. They purchased the site on Agens Street from Kaufman Rubber Co. Ontario Ltd. in September 1927 for $2, 500. Three additional land purchases were made by the group over the next several years to form the current holdings. The original building that was constructed on the land contained five curling ices, a dining room and kitchen, a board room, locker room, furnace room, ice equipment room, and was reported to have cost over $32,000. The K -W Granite Club official opened its doors on December 30th, 1927. In 1928 the first addition — a one -storey wooden structure — was added to the south side of the building. The addition houses more changing rooms, toilet facilities, and an expanded kitchen. In 1931 another addition was added to accommodate the badminton club. This addition provided five badminton courts, a lounge, and locker rooms and later a dining room. The sport of badminton dates to the 1920's in Kitchener, with the first reported game being played in the Kitchener Park Pavilion. The Granite Badminton Club was officially established in 1931, after two years of discussion with the Athletic Assocition of Kitchener and Waterloo. Though the badminton club experienced some difficulties with funding over the years, it was only ever formally closed once for a period of time during the Second World War. In 2023, the Granite Badminton assumed ownership of 69 Agnes Street, purchasing the building the club had operated out of for over 80 years. Both the curling section and badminton section of the club has played host to provincial, national, and world competition, and have boasted members who won titles at national championships. Canadian badminton championships were held at the club in 1957 and 1966, while the curling section has hosted numerous provincial championships as well as national events (the Brier 1962 and 1989, the Canadian Mixed 1969 and 1975, World Junior Championship 1980). As such the building is associated with the history of both sports at both a national and international scale. On May 8, 1955, a fire broke out which destroyed a large portion of the 69 Agnes, gutting the badminton section and causing damage to the north-east corner of the curling section. 44 days after this disaster, plans were approved for the rebuilding process. 69 Agnes Street has additional cultural heritage value due to the architect of the original building, the contractor who constructed the original building, and the architect of the major renovation that occurred after the fire in 1955. The original 1927 structure and the additions that were added between 1928 and 1952 were designed by Bernal Ambrose Jones. A native of Toronto, Jones moved to Kitchener in 1922 where he worked with Kitchener local and architect William Herbert Eugene Schmalz, establishing the firm of Schmalz & Jones Architects. It is likely the two met during their time at the Toronto firm of Darling & Pearson, where Jones worked as a draftsman and Schmalz served an apprenticeship. Their first notable work together was the 1923 Beaux-Arts Kitchener City Hall, later demolished in 1973 except for the clock towner and cupola, which stand in Victoria Park as of the date of 2024. In 1926 Schmalz & Jones Architects was disbanded and Jones commenced work under his own name. He is responsible for the design of several important or prominent buildings within Kitchener, including the 1932 Public Utilities Building (former), Church of the Good Shepherd, Olivet Evangelical United Brethren Church (now the Rockway Mennonite Church), St. John's Roman Catholic Church, and St. Mark's Lutheran Church. He was also greatly involved in the undertaking of a building programme for Freeport Hospital, initiated by the Board of Directors of the Waterloo County Health Association which was incorporated in 1920 to manage and operate the sanitorium. He provided his architectural services to the Board, and designed the main treatment building (1929-1930), portions of the Nurses Residence (1933, 1940), and the new Medical Superintendent Residence (1938-1939). The 1927 was built by the Dunker Brothers (William, Albert, and Frederick), who inherited the Dunker Construction company (established 1887) from their father Henry Dunker. Dunker Construction was a well known and respected local building company that was in operation until 1974. The company was responsible for the construction or alteration of several notable buildings within Kitchener, including Berlins #2 Fire Hall (1913), alterations to the Kitchener Auditorium (1927-28), the Registry Theatre (1938-39), and the first K -W Rotary Crippled Childrens Centre on King Street (1957-58). Dunker Construction also aided in the advancement of construction machinery within the area — the 1937 Dunker Steam Shovel was used to excavate the million -gallon reservoir for the Kitchener Water Commission at Lakeside Park. This was the former Shoemaker Pumping Station (now Greenbrook Pumping Station in 2024), which was the first water pumping station in Kitchener. In addition to operating Dunker Construction, the brothers were active participants in the community. William Dunker, president of Dunker Construction, also served on the Kitchener Planning Board and Kitchener Relief Board. His brother Albert, president of Dunker Investments Ltd and Chairman of the Board of Directions for Dunker Construction, was Chairman of the Kitchener Water Commission for 18 years, and a member for over 26. The rebuilding of 69 Agnes Street after the 1955 fire was overseen by the local architecture firm of Jenkins and Wright. Established in 1945, Jenkins and Wright are known for work such as the 1952 restoration of `Woodside', the home on William Lyon Mackenzie King located on Welling Street North within the City, as well as the Memorial Auditorium. Contextual Value 69 Agnes Street is physically, visually, historically, and functionally linked to its surrounding. The building remains in-situ and maintains its original institutional use as a recreational complex, though in 2023 it was purchased by the K -W Badminton Club. The K -W Badminton Club had leased space from and operated within the building for over 80 years.

The house is situated on a 0.17 -acre parcel of land located on the northeast corner of Bingeman Street and Lancaster Street East in the Central Frederick Neighbourhood Cultural Heritage Landscape of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value is the house. Heritage Value 10 Bingeman Street / 140 Lancaster Street East is recognized for its design and contextual values. Desipn/Physical Value The design value relates to the architecture of the house. The house is a representative example of the Italianate architectural style with complementary additions. High style examples of this style are characterized by a rooftop cupola or belvedere, ornately decorated cornice brackets, deep projecting eaves, contrasting materials and colours around windows and at corners, and segmentally arched window openings and windows (Blumenson, 1990). In Ontario, the 1865 Canada Farmer Journal outlined a more Classical form of architecture with embellishments that resulted in a style that was representative of mid -19th century Victorian (Blumenson, 1990). The house is two storeys in height with an L-shaped plan and a varied roofline. The house is in good condition. Front Elevation (South Fa(;ade) The front facade faces Lancaster Street East, is built with brick (now painted), and features: a two -bay wide fagade; a hipped roof with a projecting front gable bay; wide soffits, decorative fascia and paired brackets; two 1/1 segmentally arched window openings and windows on the second floor; one door opening and door on the second floor; a second floor ornately decorated verandah; and, a full -width ornately decorated verandah with shed roof on the first storey (note that half of the verandah has been enclosed). Side Elevation (West Fa(;ade) The side fagade is built with brick (now painted), and features: a hipped roof with projecting side hipped bay; wide soffits, decorative fascia and paired brackets; a pair of segmentally arched window openings and windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills on the second storey of the projecting bay; a segmentally arched window opening and window with brick voussoirs and wood sills on the second storey; a segmentally arched window opening and window; and, a rubble stone foundation. The side elevation of the rear gable addition is difficult to see from the public realm. Side Elevation (East FaQade) The side fagade is built with brick (now painted), and features: a hipped roof on the two storey building; wide soffits, decorative fascia and paired brackets; a pair of segmentally arched window openings and windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills on the second storey with a one storey projecting bay below; a segmentally arched window opening and window with brick voussoirs and wood sills on the first and second storey; a buff (yellow) brick chimney; and, a rubble stone foundation. The rear gable addition is built with brick (now painted), and features: a buff (yellow) brick chimney; gable roofline with return eaves; flatheaded and segmentally arched window openings with brick voussoirs and wood sills; and, flathead door openings with brick voussoirs and wood sills. Historic/Associative Value The historic/associative value relates to the theme of early development along with the Bingeman and Bowman families. Jonas B. Bingeman (b. 1817 April 9; d. 1897 September 11) resided at 111 Frederick Street and Bingeman Street was named in his honour (Bonk, 2024a). Jonas was married to Elizabeth Brubacher (b. 1820 December 13; d. 1899 January 22) and together they had 10 children. The lot was purchased by Joseph Bingeman (b. 1847 November 9; d. 1907 April 1), the second son of Jonas and Elizabeth, in 1881 and a two-storey brick house was built for $2500 (Berliner Journal, 1881). Joseph married Leah Hallman (b. 1851 August 30; 1929 February 6) and together they had nine children: Syvia Maria, Melissa Elma, Ida Bertha, Olivia, Milton Hallman, Wilfred "Willie", Ella, Ethel Leah, and Elfreda Pearl (Bonk, 2024b). Joseph worked as a teacher for 12 years, was a member of the Board of Trustees for the Berlin School for several terms, was a member of the Town Council, was a member of the Mennonite faith, was involved in the bookstore business with Messrs. F.I. Weaver & Co., and was involved in the Berlin Brush Company (Bonk, 2024c). He also travelled extensively. According to various Vernon's Directories, Joseph lived at 10 Bingeman Street / 138-140 Lancaster Street East between 1881 and c. 1903. The 1907 Vernon's Directory indicates that Simon E. Bowman (b. 1865 September 26; d. 1924 March 12) resides at 138 Lancaster Street East. Simon married Mary Alberta "Alberta" Kolb (b. 1871 February 6; d. 1948 October 30) in 1889 and together they had six children: Gordon, Elvera "Vera", Hazel Evaline, Mary, Bessie, and Olive (Bonk, 2024d). Simon was well known in motor circles, a member of the Canadian Order of Chosen Friends, and a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (The Windsor Star, 1924). Mary was a life member of Trinity United Church, the women's association, and the women's missionary society (Bonk, 2024d). According to Vernon's Directories, Mary resided at 10 Bingeman Street until her death in 1948. Contextual Value The contextual values relate to the contribution that the house makes to the continuity and character of the Bingeman Street and Lancaster Street East streetscape. The setting is noteworthy as the house is located on an unusual sized lot with a prominent presence on the corner of Bingeman Street and Lancaster Street East. The setting is completed by the presence of a fence that wraps around the house and brings the focal point to both the house and street. The property is historically linked to surrounding lands originally owned by Jonas B. Bingeman and the street (Bingeman Street) named after him.

The semi-detached dwelling is situated on a 0.29 -acre parcel of land located on the south side of St. George Street between Peter Street and Hebel Place in the Cedar Hill Schneider Creek Neighbourhood Cultural Heritage Landscape of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value is the semi-detached dwelling. Heritage Value 79-81 St. George Street is recognized for its design/physical, contextual, and historical/associative values. Desipn/Physical Value The property municipally addressed as 79-81 St. George Street demonstrates design/physical value as a rare example of a late 19th century semi-detached building and as a representative example of the Italianate architectural style. The building is in good condition. The building is two storeys in height and features: square plan; hipped roof; and, one -storey rear addition with two enclosed verandahs. Front Elevation (North Fa(;ade) The front of the building faces St. George Street and is built with buff (yellow) brick and features a three bay wide symmetrical fagade with central porch entrances between two one -storey projecting bays. The fagade features: wood soffits, fascia and decorative brackets; buff (yellow) brick; 2/2 segmentally arched wood windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills; two one -storey trapezoid shaped projecting bays with low pitched hipped (pyramidal) roof with wood soffits, fascia and decorative brackets, buff (yellow) brick, 2/2 segmentally arched wood windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills, and foundation; centred one -storey hipped roof verandah with decorative wood posts, brackets and guard; two wood paneled doors with semi -circular lites and segmentally arched transoms with brick voussoirs; and, two wood storm doors. Side Elevation (West & East Fa(;ades) The side elevations are two bays wide and separated by the chimney. The chimney is not functional as the top above the roofline has been removed. The bay closest to the street is plain with wood soffits, fascia and decorative brackets; yellow (buff) brick; one flatheaded rectangular basement window opening and window; and, foundation. The bay closest to the one -storey addition features wood soffits, fascia and decorative brackets; yellow (buff) brick; one segmentally arched 2/2 wood window with brick voussoirs and wood sill on the second storey; two segmentally arched 2/2 wood windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills on the first storey; two flatheaded rectangular basement window; and, foundation. Historical/Associative Value The property municipally addressed as 79-81 St. George Street has historical/associative value because it has direct associations with the theme of early development and housing typologies, and more specifically the semi-detached dwelling housing typology. In Berlin (now Kitchener), the Berliner Journal documented building progress in the 1870s and referred to semi-detached dwellings as "2 family dwelling", "houses built for 2 residences" or "double houses." The semi-detached building typology was rare with less than two dozen being constructed between 1878 and 1903. 79-81 St. George Street was documented as the sixth semi-detached dwelling built in Berlin and it was built by John Sage as a "2 -storey brick house, setup as 2 -family dwelling" for a cost of $2000 in the south ward (Berliner Journal, 1887). The semi-detached dwelling typology was an early demonstration of multiple dwellings, which were not common in Ontario (Fram, 1988), but that could blend into the existing single detached dwelling stock due to similarities in plan, massing, and design. Contextual Value The contextual values relate to the location, orientation, massing, and setback of the building, which help to define and maintain the consistent street edge (e.g., similar building setbacks) on the south side of St. George Street. In addition, the orientation, massing, setback, design, and materials contribute to the continuity and character of the St. George Street streetscape and the Cedar Hill Schneider Creek Neighbourhood Cultural Heritage Landscape. The building is in its original location providing a physical, visual, and historic link to its surroundings (e.g., St. George Street and the Cedar Hill Schneider Creek Neighbourhood Cultural Heritage Landscape). Heritage Attributes The heritage value of 79-81 St. George Street resides in the following heritage attributes: • All elements related to the design/physical value of the semi-detached dwelling built in the Italianate architectural style, including: o square plan; o hipped roof; 0 one -storey rear addition with two enclosed verandahs; o Front Elevation (North Fagade) ■ buff (yellow) brick; ■ three bay wide symmetrical fagade; ■ central porch with front door entrances between two one -storey projecting bays; ■ wood soffits, fascia and decorative brackets; ■ 2/2 segmentally arched wood windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills; ■ two one -storey trapezoid shaped projecting bays with low pitched hipped (pyramidal) roof with wood soffits, fascia and decorative brackets, buff (yellow) brick, 2/2 segmentally arched wood windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills, and foundation; ■ centred one -storey hipped roof verandah with decorative wood posts, brackets and guard; ■ two wood paneled doors with semi -circular lites and segmentally arched transoms with brick voussoirs; and, ■ two wood storm doors. o Side Elevation (West & East Fagades) ■ two bay width separated by the remnants of a chimney; • the bay closest to the street is plain with wood soffits, fascia and decorative brackets; yellow (buff) brick; one flatheaded rectangular basement window opening and window; and, foundation; and, ■ the bay closest to the one -storey addition features wood soffits, fascia and decorative brackets; yellow (buff) brick; one segmentally arched 2/2 wood window with brick voussoirs and wood sill on the second storey; two segmentally arched 2/2 wood windows with brick voussoirs and wood sills on the first storey; two flatheaded rectangular basement window; and, foundation. • All elements related to the contextual value, including: o location, orientation, massing, and setback of the building, which help to define and maintain the consistent street edge (e.g., similar building setbacks) on the south side of St. George Street; o the orientation, massing, setback, design, and materials contribute to the continuity and character of the St. George Street streetscape and the Cedar Hill Schneider Creek Neighbourhood Cultural Heritage Landscape; and, o the original building location providing a physical, visual, and historic link to its surroundings (e.g., St. George Street and the Cedar Hill Schneider Creek Neighbourhood Cultural Heritage Landscape).

The building is situated on a 83.52 acre parcel of land located on the east side of Trussler Road between Bleams Road and Huron Road in the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resources that contribute to the heritage value are the house (original and addition), barns, outbuildings, silos, tree lined laneway, hedgerows, agricultural fields, and woodlot. Heritage Value 1434 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 -19th century one -and -one-half storey frame house constructed with lathe and horsehair covered with stucco while the circa 1910 two -and -a -half storey Queen Anne house likely used a machine from Sears to cut an exterior wythe of rock -faced concrete block to clad the wood frame construction beneath. The property further demonstrates design/physical value as a rare and early example of mixed architectural styles, including the original one -and -a -half -storey house and the two -and -a -half -storey addition built in the Queen Anne architectural style. Together, the original house and the c. 1910 addition provide a unique example of a single house composed of structures of radically different styles and dates in a way that conserves crucial qualities of each and forms a picturesque whole. The barn has physical value as an early example of a barn and its solid construction. The one -and -a -half -storey frame house is constructed with lathe and horsehair, is clad with stucco, features a four -paned round window on the front (south) and rear (north) elevation, and a one -storey verandah with posts and spandrels that physically and visually connects the two houses (Ryan, 1991; Tausky, 2010). The frame house was converted to a summer kitchen and woodshed when the addition was built. The addition was built in the Queen Anne architectural style. In 1991, the addition featured: L-shaped plan; high hipped roof with three projecting gables with return eaves; a single pedimented dormer with foliated scroll decoration; decorative undulant shingling, bargeboard and pendants in the gables; rock -faced concrete block cladding; two-storey verandah with frieze, scroll brackets, spun posts, spandrel, and spindle work; flat headed and semi -circular window openings with voussoirs and sills; and, double hung sash wood windows and wood frames (Ryan, 1991; Tausky, 2010). In 1991, the interior featured: panelled doors with black ceramic knobs, moulded trim with corner blocks, casings with corner rosettes, panelled wainscotting, heavy turned newel post, turned balusters, beechwood and maple floors, a single staircase, and a 9/6 window and frame on the rear (north) elevation (Ryan, 1991; Tausky, 2010). In 1991, the property featured three original red tin roof drive sheds, a colony house, and a smokehouse that had been converted to a fuel shed (Ryan, 1991). In 2010, the original barn was still standing and described as "impressive in the solidity of its construction" with a foundation of large split stones laid in courses and joists that are flattened tree trunks (Tausky, 2010). Aerial imagery from 2023 and Google Earth Lidar and satellite imagery from 2024 reveal several outbuildings and structures of various sizes and functions including, but not limited to, barns, drivesheds, and silos. At least one of the barns appears to be a similar era of the house given the presence of a split stone foundation. Historical/Associative Value The historical/associative values relate to its history and association with early pioneer settlement, architectural and social development, and original, previous, and existing owners of the property. These values were researched and reported in the "Cultural Heritage Background Study: Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage Landscapes. Southwest Kitchener Urban Areas Study" prepared by Nancy Z. Tausky dated August 2010. The original, previous, and existing owners of the property were well documented in the Helena Feasby Women's Institute Tweedsmuir History (1981). The subject property is located within the German Company Tract with Lot 136 being originally owned by a member of the Brubacher family (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). The property was purchased by Oliver Clemens (b. 20 April 1830; d. 26 September 1904) in 1853 (Bonk, 2024a). Oliver was a direct descendant of George Clemens (b. 17 July 1777; d. 10 August 1863) who was among the first settlers in Waterloo County arriving c. 1800 (Bonk, 2024x; Panabaker, 1921). Oliver along with Henry McNally, Angus McNally and Moses Eschelman bought a former grist mill and sawmill and converted it to the Blair Woolen Mills in 1875 (Johannes, 1941) and operated until Angus McNally died in April 1903 (Kinzie, 1954). John (also spelled Johann) Philipp Lautenschlager (b. 1808 December 20; d. 1895 August 27) came to Waterloo County in 1831 and was both a cooper and a farmer (Bonk, 2024b). In 1834 John married Barbara Stoltz (b. 1808 December 20; d. 1885 January 5) and together they had six children: Magdalena, Jacob, Philip Stoltz, Elizabeth, August, and Frederick (Bonk, 2024b). Their first son was Jacob (b. 7 March 1837; d. 25 January 1930) and he purchased the subject property in 1864 and thereafter his occupation is listed as a farmer (Bonk, 2024c). Jacob married Elizabeth Rosenberger (b. 1841 January 29; d. 1880 February 21) and together they had seven children: William A., Melinda, Isaac Samuel, Lydia A., Albert, Annetta R. "Nettie", and Rosetta M. (Bonk, 2024c). The property passed to their second son Isaac in 1901. Isaac (b. 1864 June 10; d. 1943 May 8) married Mary Ann Schweitzer (b. 1865 April 2; d. 1951 September 23) in 1886 and together they had three children: Rev. Stanton S., Rev. Roy, and Rev. Earl Schweitzer (Bonk, 2024d). Isaac was a founding member and a director of The Farmer's Co-operative Creamery Company Limited (also known as the New Dundee Creamery), which operated between 1908 and 1998 (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981; Romahn et al, 1997). Other founding members and directors included: Daniel D. Snyder, Roseville; and, Jacob C. Hallman, William Goettling and Edwin B. Hallman, New Dundee (Romahn et al, 1997). Together, these men obtained permission to manufacture butter, cheese and other dairy products with their brand being well-known until the late 1940s (Romahn et al, 1997). The New Dundee Creamery produced the largest volume of butter annually in Ontario and won prizes at the Royal Winter Fair, the Canadian National Exhibition, and the Royal Dairy Show (Romahn et al, 1997). Isaac and Mary Ann's second son, Roy Launtenschlager (b. 1889 December 20; d. 1978 June 23), was born on the family farm (Bonk, 2024d; Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). He attended Rosebank public school, Huntington College and the University of Michigan (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). He was a member of the Mannheim church, the United Brethren church, and later the American Presbyterian church (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). He became a Presbyterian missionary in China between 1922 and 1951 and became was a political prisoner in a Shanghai camp (1942-1943) during the Sino-Japenese war (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). During this time, he wrote a poem about his "sweet home" on the "Old Town Line," in which he credits his mother with the design of the 1910 addition (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). The poem reads: "On the Old Town Line 1 cherish a farm on the "Old Town Line" `Twixt Wilmot and Waterloo Remove from roaring motor -ways Amongst hills secluded too, Where earth gave richly toil's reward Broad hills were verdant green Barns bulged with grain and scented hay None better have we seen. It was a sweet home on the "Old Town Line" Blessed childhood, youth and prime — With song on my lips I ruffled the soil And gathered in harvest time,- We ime,We built the new house to Mother's plan Kept stables and fences renewed Fine horses always were Dad's delight In this rural habitude. The farm still lives on the "Old Town Line" Though the Ls eschewed its worth A hearth forsaken but never forgot This lap of nourishing earth,- There arth,There we were schooled in nature's ways Learned the toil with spirit free Where the web of life was patterned true In honest, homespun sanctity." (In honor of Father and Mother, Shanghai 1942) R. S. L. (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981) Gottleib Goettling (b. 1827 April 11; d. 1909 April 7) and his wife Johanna Katharina Krauss (b. 1834 April 22; d. 1918 December 31) wanted their children to escape inscription with the German army chose to send them overseas to meet with family and friends (Bonk, 2024e; Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). Gottleib and his family took up residence in the top storey of his friend, Fritz Kaiser's, blacksmith shop in Roseville (now the Township of North Dumfries) (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). Gottleib's youngest son, Albert Goettling (b. 27 August 1877; d. 24 May 1976), married Anna Magdalena Myers (b. June 1907; d. 19 May 1940) and together they had four children: Violet Marceline, Earl Clare, Gertrude Elizabeth, and Sangster Albert (Bonk, 2024e). Albert purchased the 92 -acre Isaac Lautenslager farm for $8300 in 1916 (Bonk, 2024e). Albert was a member of the Wilmot Centre United Brethren Church and later the Roseville Church, he taught Sunday School, and was a member of the Roseville Church Board (Bonk, 2024e). His appreciation for music lead him to donate, the Hallman organ, that was still in use at the Roseville Church in 1967 (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). Albert was instrumental in starting the New Dundee Creamery before it became a co-op (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). He wanted New Dundee farmers to acquire dividends and profits and spent hours talking and hanging posters promoting the creation of the New Dundee Creamery (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). As noted earlier in this report, the Farmer's Co-operative Creamery Company Limited operated between 1908 and 1998. The founding members and directors included: Isaac Lautenschlager-, Daniel D. Snyder, Roseville; and, Jacob C. Hallman, William Goettling and Edwin B. Hallman, New Dundee (Romahn et al, 1997). Together, these men obtained permission to manufacture butter, cheese and other dairy products with their brand being well-known until the late 1940s. The New Dundee Creamery produced the largest volume of butter annually in Ontario and won prizes at the Royal Winter Fair, the Canadian National Exhibition, and the Royal Dairy Show. Albert was an active member of the Rosebank farm forum and director of the Waterloo Township Plowing Match for 25 years. Sangster Albert Goettling (b. 1920 January 23; d. 2007 November 20) was born at this property (Bonk, 2024f). By 1946 Sangster had gradually started to take over the farm from his father (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). Sangster married Helen Marie Eckstein (b. 1925 April 19; d. 2005 June 23) on November 29, 1947, and together they had three children: Ronald W., Robert Carl, and Karen (Bonk, 2024f). Sangster farmed his entire life on the farm where he was born and was a longtime member of the Wilmot Centre Missionary Church (Helena Feasby Women's Institute, 1981). According to the Vernon's 2014 Kitchener and Waterloo City Directory, the property remains in the Goettling family. Contextual Value The contextual value relates to the rural character of the property and area. Specific elements that maintain the rural character include: the layout of buildings, the long tree lined laneway terminating at the farm complex with the house on one side and the barn on the other, the south facing house oriented towards the lane, the location of the house within a grove of trees, undulating topography, agricultural fields, hedgerows, and forests. The contextual value also relates to how the heritage attributes are physically, visually, functionally, and historically linked to the rural character of the property and area.

The building is situated on a 0.29 acre parcel of land located on the north side of Ahrens 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 resource that contributes to the heritage value is the industrial building. Heritage Value 100 Ahrens Street West is recognized for its design/physical, historic/associative, and contextual values. Desipn/Physical Value The design and physical values relate to the Industrial Vernacular architectural style of the building. The building is in good condition with many intact original elements. The building features: rectangular plan; red brick construction; Ahrens Street fagade with decorative brick cornice and parapet, buttressing, 1/1 hung windows and concrete headers and sills; and, 4/4 hung windows. West (Front) Facade The building fronts to Ahrens Street West. This was done on purpose to have better access to the Grand Trunk Railway running immediately behind the rear of the building. The building is 2 storeys in height, with a flat and parapet. The parapet has decorative brick cornice. The central portion of the fagade projects towards the street and includes brick buttresses on each end. There are three 1/1 hung windows with one concrete header and sills. On each side of the central portion are two 1/1 hung windows with concrete headers and sills with brick buttresses on the upper storey, and long floor length windows on the lower storey. There is a big floor length tripartite window in the central portion of the building. South (side) FaQade The fagade faces Victoria Street and includes double 4/4 hung windows with concrete heads and sills with back portion that projects towards the parking space on the property. The portion has no windows on the lower storey, and a combination of hung windows and glass block windows on the supper storey. North (side) FaQade This fagade faces the Grand Trunk Railway tracks. This fagade contains 4/4 hung windows with concrete headers and sills, and glass block windows. East (rear) FaQade This fagade contains 6 casement windows with concrete sills, three on each storey. Historical/Associative Value This building has associative value as it has direct associations with the economic development of Kitchener in the early 20th century. The Longo Brothers, whose owner was Tony Longo, were wholesale fruit dealers who built the building for their fruit business. The building was purpose built to serve their business, with the basement having several rooms for the ripening of fruits, to installing an elevator that would convey loads of fruits straight off the railway cars directly to the building for efficient distribution. At the time of its construction, this building was one of the biggest industrial buildings that was built specifically for fruit distribution in Kitchener.

The building was originally constructed in the Edwardian Classism architectural style. The building is situated on a 1.71 acre parcel of land located on the north east corner of Courtland Avenue East and Cedar Street South in the Mill Courtland Woodside Park neighborhood of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value is the school. Heritage Value 160 Courtland Avenue East is recognized for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values. Desipn/Physical Value The property municipally addressed as 160 Courtland Avenue East demonstrates design/physical value as an early institutional example of 20th -century Edwardian Classicism architectural style, with later additions added to the property. The original building constructed circa 1922-1925 faces Courtland Ave East. Sometime before the construction of the 1974 addition a recessed two storey addition was added on the east facade. Further east of the two-story addition is a 1974 addition that is lower in height and projects forward at both the rear and front facade of the original building and the previous addition. A small addition to the rear fagade that projects from the original structure was added sometime after the 1974 addition. Additionally, at an unknown date the roofline of the original circa 1922-1925 building was altered with a half storey addition. The circa 1922-1925 structure at 160 Courtland Avenue East demonstrates key characteristics of the Edwardian Classicism style including many windows, a more compact and simplified massing, straight rooflines and simple detailing, and some classical features such as voussoirs and keystones. Front (South Elevation) Facade The front fagade faces Courtland Avenue East where a portion of the roofline, unknown and circa 1974 additions are visible. The circa 1922-1925 building features a symmetrical fagade whose massing can be divided into three sections. The central section features red brick, a cast concrete foundation and stone materials. The central section contains the primary entrance which is comprised of a classical frontispiece raised from the ground features brick and piers with a concrete base topped by an entablature. The entablature features a plain architrave and frieze, and a moulded cornice with dentils. The original building features a classical entryway with rounded transom and sidelights. Above the rounded transom in the entryway is a voussoir arch with a stone keystone. There are two flathead 1/1 basement windows below the entablature, and one flathead 1/1 window siting above each basement window on the first floor flacking the entrance. Both the basement and the first -floor windows feature stone sills and an enclosed transom. Above the entablature is a second -floor window pattern that feature a single flathead 1/1 window, a ribbon of three flathead 1/1 windows, and another single flathead 1/1 window all with an enclosed transom and a stone sill. There is a stone belt course located above the second - floor windows. Above the second -floor belt course, embedded into the roofline addition, a stone sign reads "St. Joesph's School." The two sections of the original structure on either side of the central section are symmetrical and feature red brick, cast concrete foundation and stone materials. There are three flathead 1/1 basement windows with stone sills and an enclosed transom on either side of the central section. A first and second floor window pattern that features five flathead 1/1 windows with a continuous enclosed transom and a stone sill are above the basement windows. A stone belt course sits above the second -floor windows just below the roofline addition. Side (East) FaQade This side fagade faces east but the circa 1922-1925 building is not visible because the unknown and circa 1974 additions were built on the east fagade. Side (West) Facade This side fagade of the original building faces the west and features an almost symmetrical fagade that can be divided vertically into three sections and possesses a flat roof. The central section features red brick, a cast concrete foundation and stone materials. The central section contains the secondary entrance which is topped by an entablature. The entablature features a plain architrave and frieze, and a moulded cornice with dentils. Sitting above the entablature are two flathead 1/1 windows with an enclosed transom and stone sill. These windows have a base and top that sits higher than the first floor windows at the front and rear fagade of the original structure. Above these windows are two flathead 1/1 windows with an enclosed transom and stone sills. The top of these windows aligns with the second floor windows at the rear and front fagade of the building, but the base of these windows sit higher. There is a stone belt course above the second floor windows. The two sections on either side of the centre feature red brick, cast concrete foundation and stone materials. There is evidence of two flathead 1/1 basement windows with an enclosed transom and a stone on either side of the central section. However, the basement window closest to the side entrance on the left of this fagade has been enclosed to accommodate a ramp. The enclosed transom for this enclosed window is still visible. Rear (North) Fa(;ade) The rear fagade faces south where a portion of the rear, unknown and circa 1974 additions are visible. The circa 1922-1925 building features a flat almost symmetrical fagade whose window arrangement creates 3 sections, and which possesses a flat roof. The central bay features red brick with a cast concrete foundation, and stone materials. The rear addition is also visible on this fagade. On the left side of the rear addition are two flathead 1/1 basement windows with stone sills and an enclosed transom. A single flathead 1/1 basement window with a stone sill and an enclosed transom is on the right side of the rear addition. Four flathead 1/1 windows with enclosed transom and a stone sill sit above the basement windows and addition on the first and second floor. A stone belt course sits above the second -floor windows. The two sections on either side of the central section are symmetrical and feature red brick and a cast concrete foundation. These bays each feature a window pattern of two flathead 1/1 basement windows, and a ribbon of two flathead 1/1 basement windows, all with stone sills and an enclosed transom. A window pattern on both the first and second floor, above the basement windows, feature five flathead 1/1 windows with a continuous enclosed transom and stone sill. A stone belt course sits above the second -floor windows. Additions (Unknown, c. 1974, Roofline & Rear) A two-storey addition was built on the east fagade of 160 Courtland Avenue East sometime before the construction of the second addition in 1974. The addition is constructed of red brick and features windows of a similar size but more modern style, featuring both stone sills and a belt course above the second floor, but no window heads as is prominent in the circa 1922-1925 building. It is recessed from the circa 1922-1925 building. Further east, at both the front and rear of the circa 1922-1925 building, the 1974 addition projects forward. The addition is constructed of red brick and is lower in height than the original building and the unknown addition. Neither addition detracts from the character of 160 Courtland Avenue East, or the character of the Courtland Avenue East streetscape as they are setback or significantly set forward from the original facade, and they do not try to emulate the original circa 1922-1925 building style but are compatible in design. The roofline of the original circa 1922-1925 structure also appears to have been altered at an unknown date with a half -storey addition. This addition follows the footprint of the original roofline and has red vertical cladding. The stone sign reading "St. Joesph's School" is embedded into this addition. Additionally, at the rear fagade of the original structure there appears to be a small 1 -storey addition that projects slightly from the original structure. This addition was added sometime after the 1974 addition. This addition is off-centre and positioned slightly towards to the west fagade in the central section. One flathead 1/1 basement window appears to have been covered to accommodate this addition. Historical/Associative Value The historical and associative value of 160 Courtland Avenue East relates to its direct association with public education and the catholic school system within Kitchener. The building was constructed circa 1922-1925 by a separate school board. As new settlers arrived in the area bringing with them Catholic and Lutheran beliefs, these communities identified a need for schools that would offer their children faith -based education and foster both their spiritual and academic growth. Catholic education in Waterloo Region began in 1836 with the creation of the schools St. Agatha in 1835-1836, and St. Boniface in 1836. Both schools, though they have undergone many renovations, still exist today. In 1874 the School Sisters of Notre Dame were brought to the Region after heeding a request from St. Jerome's Collage founder Father Louis Funcken. The religious sisters shaped the growth and development of Catholic schools in the area and during their time teaching at St. Joesph's provided invaluable lessons that helped form the values and belief of the students. St. Joesph's school was in operation until June of 2004, after which it became the St. Louis Learning Centre. In 2014 the site was sold and purchased by the Muslim Association of Canada and renamed Maple Grove School. 160 Courtland Avenue East also has historical value due to its direct association with St. Joesph's Church. To the east of the school is St. Joesph's Church, municipally addressed as 148 Madison Avenue South. The land for the church was purchased from the School Board in 1930, for a total of $3000. Prior to the construction of a basement chapel on the newly purchased property, mass was held in St. Joesph's school. Before it closed in 2004, St. Joesph's school was considered St. Joesph's "parish school." Many families whose children attended St. Joesph's school were also members of the St. Joesph's congregation. Contextual Value The contextual value of 160 Courtland Avenue East relates to its importance in maintaining the character of the Cedar Hill Cultural Heritage Landscape. The subject property and the surrounding area have been identified as being a Cultural Heritage Landscape (CHL) by the 2014 City of Kitchener Cultural Heritage Landscape Study. Key characteristics of this CHL include brick or the appearance of brick, topography of land, and a mingling of early and late housing with institutional buildings; a pattern of development that was not traditionally practiced in Ontario past 1920s in planned communities. The presence of 160 Courtland Avenue East as a school since its establishment contributes to the "completeness" of the Cedar Hill neighborhood. The school is also physically, functionally, visually, and historically linked to its surroundings. The school is situated at its original location and continues its original function as a school. It maintains its historical connections to adjacent property, specifically St. Joseph's Church. Social Value Maple Grove School has social value as a place of education. This building has been providing this service since its construction circa 1922-1925, and its operations were central to the function of the surrounding community. It remains a prominent place of importance within the Cedar Hill neighborhood severing as one of the neighborhoods notable institutional buildings. Schools often provide social value for a community, acting as a source of socialization and learning for children. Additionally, when the school served as the original location of St. Joesph's congregation before the basement chapel was constructed, it served as a place where people gathered and socialized and created community connections that can still be seen today in St. Joesph's church and the surrounding community. Heritage Attributes The heritage value of 160 Courtland Avenue East resides in the following heritage attributes: All elements related to the design/physical value of the original c. 1922-1925 brick school building as an example of the Edwardian Classism style including: - Flat roof and roofline; - Red brick; - Cast concrete foundation; - The classical main entryway with rounded transom and sidelights; - A voussoir arch with a stone keystone; - Piers and entablature that features a plain architrave and frieze; - Moulded cornice with dentils; - A stone sign that reads "St. Joesph's School"; - A stone course belt above the second floor windows; - Fenestration pattern of the windows with stone sills and an enclosed transom on the front fagade, west and south elevations.

These windows have decorative brick detailing above the arch and are currently boarded up. Historical/Associative Value The church has significant historical value because it has direct associations with the Presbyterian Church, Adam Ferrie, and the Village of Doon. The first Presbyterian worship service in Doon was conducted on July 7, 1853, by Dr. John Bayne of Galt. Two days later it was a decided that a church should be built during an organizational meeting. The Doon Presbyterian Church was constructed the same year 1853 on land donated by Adam Ferrie. Construction was completed in 1854 and the church held its first service in December of that year with Dr. Bayne and Reverend D. McRuer presiding over the services. The church has been attended by many local families of the Village of Doon including: Robert Ferrie (miller), James Goodfellow, John Chapman, Mrs. Joseph Perine, Mrs. M.B. Perine (wife of the cordage manufacturer), William Linton (teacher), Homer Watson (famous Canadian artist), the Tilts (brickmakers of Oregon), the Weavers, the Wildfongs and the Wolfes (Simpson, 1981). The church was originally part of a dual parish with the Presbyterian Church of New Hope (Hespeler) until 1892. Then, the church linked with the Knox Presbyterian Church is Preston, and continues to be linked to that church. The church also associative value because it has direct associations with the theme of early settlement within the Region of Waterloo. The name `boon' was chosen by Adam Ferrie, who was of Scottish descent, after he arrived and settled in the region. The area was initially settled by German Mennonites from Pennsylvania, and later by English and Scottish settlers. These settlers established an array of businesses along the Preston and Berlin (present day Kitchener) railway that passed through the town. The Ferrie family also established a number of businesses which included but is not limited to included a distillery, a tavern, a general store, and a mill. These industries were crucial to the success and growth of Doon. Doon is also the lifetime home of Homer Watson, one of the most prominent and successful landscape painters of the country, and a Person of National Historic Significance. The church is located immediately behind the home of Homer Watson, which was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980. In 1968, the Village of Doon was amalgamated into the City of Kitchener. Arlam FArriA The Doon Presbyterian Church holds associative value due to its direct associations with Adam Ferrie, a prominent businessman in the early settlement of Doon. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, on December 11, 1813, Adam Ferrie arrived in the area which would eventually be known as the Village of Doon circa 1830, and acquired a 300 -acre property in which, he would build a grist mill, sawmill, and distillery. In 1837, in Preston (present-day Cambridge), Adam Ferrie was appointed as the postmaster. He later became the commonly named founder of Doon as, he established the Doon Mill, from which the village derived its name. It is also noted that he built the house that would eventually by bought by Homer Watson. With the influx of economic activity, prior to 1853, the Ferrie family donated a portion of the land they acquired to facilitate the construction of the Presbyterian Church within the Village of Doon. Today, Doon still serves as a church and as a place for community activities. With a history of over 170 years, this building is one of the oldest in the City of Kitchener, and perhaps the Region of Waterloo. Contextual Value The church has contextual value because it is physically, functionally and historically linked to its surroundings. The church is located in its original location and has always been used as a church. The location of the church was significant due to its strategic position atop a hill within the Village of Doon. Additionally, it was situated within close proximity to the former Adam Ferrie's Mill, which was an important business in Doon during its early years of establishment. The church also has contextual value because it helps maintaining and supporting the character of the area of Doon. Doon remains a low-rise residential area with mix of housing style and construction eras. The church contributes to the continuity and character of the low-rise residential character of Lower Doon. The mature trees and it being situated on the banks of the Grand River all contributes towards maintaining the existing setting of the property. Other Values Social Values Doon Presbyterian Church has a significant social value as a place of worship that has been in the Region for over 170 years. This building has been supporting these services for all these years within the community and has become a prominent place of importance within the Doon neighborhood serving as a notable institutional building. Places of worship often provide intangible community value as a place where people gather and are often a central piece of a community.
