These lands are acknowledged as part of the following treaties: Haldimand Treaty, 1784. November 2024 MHBC 1 4 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener Executive Summary MHBC was retained by Fusion Homes to complete a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the Stage 6 lands located on part of the property at 1940 Fischer -Hallman Road, Kitchener (the subject property). The proposed development includes the construction of 6 blocks of 3 -storey townhouses, with a total of 102 units. The purpose of this Heritage Impact Assessment is to evaluate whether or not the proposed development of the Stage 6 lands will result in adverse impacts to the cultural heritage value of the listed dwelling on the Stage 8 lands located on the western portion of the property. This report has identified the potential for land disturbances related to the construction of the proposed stacked townhouses to result in adverse impacts to the stone dwelling on the Stage 8 lands, therefore the following measures are recommended: • That normal construction best practices be followed during construction, including the use of protective safety screening and fencing where required; and • That heavy equipment not be operated or stored along the boundary between the Stage 8 and Stage 6 lands. November 2024 MHBC 1 5 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener 1.0 Description of Subject Property 1.1 Location of Subject Property The subject property is currently part of what is municipally addressed as 1940 Fischer - Hallman Road and is legally described as Part of Lot 160 German Company Tract. However, it is in the process of being registered through the plan of subdivision as its own block and independent property known in this development and site plan application as the Stage 6 lands. The subject property is highlighted in blue in Figure 1 below. It is situated on the east side of Fischer -Hallman Road, north of Plains Road, and west and south of Broadacre Drive. November 2024 MHBC 1 6 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener Figure 1: Aerial photo noting the location of the subject property. The Stage 6 lands proposed for development are indicated in blue and the Stage 8 lands (which contain the dwelling at 1940 Fischer -Hallman Road) are indicated in red. (MHBC, 2024) The subject property was once part of a larger agricultural parcel that has since been developed to include residential uses in stages over time. The Stage 8 lands (noted in red below) front Fischer -Hallman Road and contain the original house constructed c. 1870 when the lands were used for agriculture. The Stage 6 lands (noted in blue) are vacant and proposed to be developed to 102 residential stacked townhouses (see Figure 2).

(MHBC, 2024) The purpose of this HIA is to assess whether or not any adverse impacts are anticipated to the cultural heritage value of the Stage 8 lands (noted above in red) as well as to the adjacent listed property located at 1970 Fischer -Hallman Road as a result of the proposed development of the Stage 6 lands (noted above in blue). 1.2 Heritage Status The Stage 6 lands contain no built or natural features and do not exhibit cultural heritage value. They are located adjacent to the Stage 8 lands which have been determined to include cultural heritage resources. The Stage 8 lands have been identified by the City of Kitchener as being of potential Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. According to a review of the City of Kitchener Register of Heritage Properties as well as the City of Kitchener Interactive Map, Stage 8 lands contain a listed (non -designated) property (see Figure 3). It is not designated November 2024 MHBC 1 8 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act The property is not part of a designated Heritage Conservation District (HCD), nor is it identified as being within a protected Cultural Heritage Landscape as per the City of Kitchener Official Plan. Figure 3: Excerpt of the City of Kitchener Interactive Map showing the listed status of the Stage 8 lands, noted with a red line. (Source: City of Kitchener Interactive Map, 2024) The Register does not provide reasons for which the Stage 8 lands were identified as being of CHVI in 2009.

(Source: City of Kitchener) However, the property was previously evaluated in an Architectural Analysis conducted by the City of Kitchener in 1991 and in a Heritage Impact Assessment conducted by Carson Woods Architect Limited in 2008. A summary of the previous Architectural Analysis and HIA can be found below in Section 1.2.1 and Section 1.2.2 of this report. November 2024 MHBC 1 9 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener 1.2.1 Architectural Analysis (City of Kitchener) An Architectural Analysis was conducted on subject property by the City of Kitchener in June of 1991 to evaluate and describe the heritage value of the property. It provides an overview, from which excerpts have been provided below: "This beautiful Gothic house was built circa 1870. It has an Irregular, almost T- shaped plan with some adherence to symmetry. It is one -and -a -half storeys with ten rooms... and a concrete block north wing. It is situated just of the east side of Fischer -Hallman Road, In full view and facing south. The property totals 59 acres in size and includes among its outbuildings a large gable barn, an old outhouse, and a maple syrup shed. Farming has been mixed over the years, Including dairy, beef cattle and various crops... Modern landscaping and sorawling trees surround the house. " At the time of the analysis, the Stage 8 lands consisted of a much larger parcel which included an intact farm complex. Additionally, the concrete addition described at the time has since been removed, as had the later veranda, the original portico, and many of the original windows. The Stage 8 lands do, however, currently retain other features mentioned in the analysis, including: • Sprawling trees around the house; • Construction of large split fieldstone bonded with rough mortaring; • Fieldstone chimneys with corbelled caps; • Wood trim along the facades; • Projecting gable face with single -storey bay window at south elevation; and • Quoining, voussoirs above the windows, and projecting sills. The report concludes that: "This house must be a high ,priority for designation. It is in very good condition and has a great deal of architectural value. The board -and -batten outhouse Is also worthy of preservation. " It should be noted that the board -and -batten outhouse is no longer present on the property. The full Architectural Analysis can be found in Appendix C of this report. 1.2.2 Previous Heritage Impact Assessment (Carson Woods Architect Limited) November 2024 MHBC 1 10 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener The Stage 8 lands were again evaluated in 2008 as part of a Heritage Impact Assessment conducted by Carson Woods Architects Limited to evaluate potential impacts resulting from the proposed Becker Estates plan of subdivision. At this time, the HIA notes that the outhouse which was mentioned in the previous Architectural Analysis had since been removed by the owners as it was structurally unsound. The HIA was in agreement with the previous Architectural Analysis in its conclusion that the subject property exhibits "significant local heritage value." It further describes that value as being related to the workmanship, quality, and historic integrity of the stone dwelling, the intact nature of the farmyard and accessory structures which are described as providing a rural context, the orientation of the dwelling and its representation of previous circulation patterns, and its continuous use as a farm. The report further notes that while the accessory structures contributed to the character of the property, they were not structurally sound. None of the accessory buildings described are currently still present on the property. The heritage attributes associated with the property were identified in the previous HIA as follows: • Exterior stone walls and corbelled chimneys • Exterior roof and gable form • Exterior wood frieze mouldings • Exterior South entrance doorway • Exterior east side porch posts and decorative scroll brackets • Interior wood mouldings, casing and trim • Interior plaster mouldings and chandelier medallion • Interior staircase • Interior doors and hardware • Stain Glass windows The report also mentions "Other Desirable Features" which are listed as: • The Old Lane • The Farm Yard The complete previous HIA can be viewed in Appendix B of this report. 1.2.3 Current Cultural Heritage Attributes of the Stage 8 Lands Of the heritage attributes identified in the previous Heritage Impact Assessment, some are no longer present on the property at this time, including: November 2024 MHBC 1 11 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener • Exterior South entrance doorway • Exterior east side porch posts and decorative scroll brackets • Some Stain Glass windows It is unknown whether the interior features noted in the previous HIA are still present. These included: • Interior wood mouldings, casing and trim • Interior plaster mouldings and chandelier medallion • Interior staircase • Interior doors and hardware However, it is not standard practice to designate interior features, and it is recommended that these features be removed from consideration as heritage attributes. The report also mentions "Other Desirable Features" which are listed as: • The Old Lane • The Farm Yard The mature tree row indicating the location of the old lane is still present, but the previously associated farm yard has since been severed and redeveloped. 1.3 Adjacent Cultural Heritage Resources The Stage 6 lands are located adjacent (contiguous) to the property at 1970 Fischer - Hallman Road, which is listed (non -designated) on the City of Kitchener Heritage Register (see Figure 5). November 2024 MHBC 1 12 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener Figure 5: Excerpt of the City of Kitchener Interactive Map showing the listed status of the adjacent property at 1970 Fischer -Hallman Road, which is noted with a red dashed line. (Source: City of Kitchener Interactive Map, 2024) The Register identifies that the property was listed in 2011 (see Figure 6). 1541 Fischer Hallman Road June 1, 2015 1940 Fischer Hallman Road October 13, 2009 1970 Fischer Hallman Road August 29, 2011 Figure 6: Excerpt of the City of Kitchener Heritage Register for Non -Designated Properties. (Source: City of Kitchener) The Register does not identify the reasons why the property was considered to be of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest, however, the property contains a 1 -storey brick structure with a plaque that identifies it as "School, Section No. 3, 1872." While the structure currently serves as a dwelling, it is therefore safe to assume that it previously served as a schoolhouse constructed c. 1872. November 2024 MHBC 1 13 47, Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener The architectural features of the former schoolhouse include a symmetrical one -storey brick construction with a gable roof and a gable vestibule at the south elevation. There is a brick chimney on the southeastern corner of the structure. The building includes a number of later rear additions to the north. The grounds also include several accessory structures, gravel driveway access to Fischer - Hallman Road, a number of mature trees, and open space. November 2024 MHBC 1 15 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener 2mOPolicy Context 2.1 The Planning Act and PPS 2024 The Planning Act makes a number of provisions regarding cultural heritage, either directly in Section 2 of the Act or Section 3 respecting policy statements and provincial plans.

This Heritage Impact Assessment has been guided by the criteria provided with Regulation 9/06of the Ontario Heritage Act, as Amended in 2022 as per Bill 23 (Schedule 6). Ontario Regulation 9/06 outlines the mechanism for determining cultural heritage value or interest. Here, a property must meet at least 2 of 9 criteria to be considered for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act 2.3 Region of Waterloo Official Plan November 2024 MHBC 1 18 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener Chapter 3, Section 3.G of the Regional Official Plan provides policies regarding the conservation of cultural heritage resources which are related to the scope of this Heritage Impact Assessment.

November 2024 MHBC 1 21 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener 3. 0 Historical Overview 3.1 1940 Fischer -Hallman Road According to the Heritage Impact Assessment completed by Carwon Woods Architects ltd. (2008), the property formerly included a farm complex. All components of the farm complex with the exception of the Victorian Gothic stone dwelling have been removed. The 2008 HIA states that the dwelling (also referred to as the "Becker House") was constructed circa 1870. According to available land registry records, the subject property (Part of German Company Tract, Lot 160) was purchased by Hugh Wallace in 1854. At this time, the property is described as including portions of lot 151 (west side of Fischer -Hallman Road) and 160 (east side of Fischer -Hallman Road), a total of 112 acres. The property (all 112 acres) was sold by Hugh Wallce to John Wallace in 1869. According to the 1861 Tremaine map of Waterloo Township, a farmhouse is located on land owned by John Wallace. However, this is not the existing farmhouse given that it is located on part of Lot 151, and not on lot 160 which includes the subject property (See Figure 9). Given that the existing dwelling located on the subject property is not indicated on the Tremaine map, it is likely that it was not yet constructed.

The property was owned by members of the Rutherford family until 1935 when it was sold to Roy S. Becker. The Becker family were still the owners of the property at the time of the 1991 Architectural Analysis as well as the 2008 Heritage Impact Assessment. According to the 1946 aerial photograph, the surrounding context was rural and agricultural (see Figure 12). While the photo is not clear, the barn and farm complex on the Stage 8 lands can be seen at this time, as well as tree rows along Fischer Hallman Road, Plains Road, and the northern edge of the property. The Stage 6 lands contained farm fields. November 2024 MHBC 1 24 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener f.

The following analysis of impacts of the proposed development is guided by the Heritage Toolkit of the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries as follows: • Destruction: of any, or part of any significant heritage attributes or features; • Alteration: that is not sympathetic, or is incompatible, with the historic fabric and appearance: • Shadows: created that alter the appearance of a heritage attribute or change the viability of a natural feature or plantings, such as a garden; • Isolation: of a heritage attribute from its surrounding environment, context or a significant relationship; • Direct or Indirect Obstruction: of significant views or vistas within, from, or of built and natural features; • A change in land use: such as rezoning a battlefield from open space to residential use, allowing new development or site alteration to fill in the formerly open spaces; • Land disturbances: such as a change in grade that alters soils, and drainage patterns that adversely affect an archaeological resource. The above noted impacts will be considered as it relates to the scope of this HIA. Furthermore, this report utilizes guides published by the International Council on Monuments and Site (ICOMOS), Council of UNESCO, from the World Heritage Convention of January of 2011. The grading of impact is based on "Guide to Assessing Magnitude of Impact" as a framework for this report: November 2024 MHBC 137 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener • Major: Change to key historic building elements that contributes to the cultural heritage value or interest (CHVI) such that the resource is totally altered. Comprehensive changes to the setting. • Moderate: Change to many key historic building elements, such that the resource is significantly modified. Changes to the setting of an historic building, such that it is significantly modified. • Minor: Change to key historic building elements, such that the asset is slightly different. Change to setting of an historic building, such that is it noticeably changed. • Negligible/ Potential: Slight changes to historic building elements or setting that hardly affect it. • No Change: No change to fabric or setting. 6.2 Impact Analysis for the Stage 8 Lands at 1940 Fischer -Hallman Road The following provides an analysis of impacts to the identified heritage attributes on the Stage 8 lands as a result of the proposed development of the Stage 6 lands. Destruction of any, or part of any significant heritage attributes or features Alteration that is not sympathetic, or is incompatible, with the historic fabric and appearance Shadows created that alter the appearance of a heritage attribute or change the viability of a natural feature or plantings, such as a garden Isolation of a heritage attribute from its No change. No feature on the Stage 8 lands is intended to be demo/fished as part of the proposed development. No change. No alterations are proposed for any of the Identified heritage attributes of the Stage 8 lands No change. As the proposed townhouses include a proposed height of stories, no impacts from shadows are anticipated to any features of the stone dwelling or existing tree rows on the Stage 8 lands. No change. No significant relationship between heritage attributes and features located within the Stage 8 lands November 2024 MHBC 138 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener surrounding environment, context or a significant relationship Obstruction of significant views or vistas within, from, or of built and natural features has been identified, therefore, no impacts from isolation are anticipated. While the Stage 6 lands once shared a relationship with the Stage 8 lands as part of a farm complex, the lands have been altered over time. The subject property no longer supports agricultural uses, therefore, there is no remaining relationship which might result in impacts from isolation. _ No change. There are views of the farmhouse and trees along Fischer -Hallman Road, but as the Stage 6 lands are located to the rear (east) from Fischer -Hallman Road of the lands to be retained, and a landscaped buffer is currently proposed between the Stage 6 and Stage 8 lands, no impacts from obstruction are anticipated Change in Land Use such as rezoning a No change. As noted previously, the subject property no battlefield from open longer exhibits agricultural use, and the surrounding area space to residential use, is in transition to residential uses. A change in use of the allowing new Stage 6 lands to residential is considered to be sympathetic to the existing stone dwelling on the Stage 8 lands which development or site was previously used as a residence for the associated alteration to fill in the farmlands. formerly open spaces Land Disturbances such as a change in potential. There is the potential that land disturbances grade that alters soils, related to the construction of the proposed stacked and drainage patterns townhouses may result in adverse impacts to the stone that adversely affect an dwelling on the Stage 8lands. archaeological resource In conclusion, this report has identified the potential for land disturbances related to the construction of the proposed stacked townhouses to result in adverse impacts to the stone dwelling on the Stage 8 lands. 6.3 Impact Analysis on the Adjacent Property Located at 1970 Fischer - Hallman Road The following provides an analysis of impacts as a result of the proposed development of the Stage 6 lands on the adjacent listed property located at 1970 Fischer -Hallman Road.

No change. No significant relationship between any features located on the adjacent listed property and features on the Stage 6 lands have been identified, however, as no identifiable features currently exist on the Stage 6 lands, impacts from isolation are not anticipated. No change. Primary views of the 1872 schoolhouse are along Plains Road and will not be impacted. Additionally, while the original section of the structure is not as visible from Fischer -Hallman Road, its relationship to the street will not change as a result of this proposal. The proposed development of the Subject 6 lands also includes a landscaped buffer along the boundary of the adjacent property, which will further mitigate any potential impacts from obstruction of views. Change in Land Use such as rezoning a battlefield from open space to residential use, No change. The adjacent structure is currently residentlal, allowing new and no change in use is proposed. development or site alteration to fill in the formerly open spaces November 2024 MHBC 140 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener Land Disturbances such as a change in No change.

Therefore, no impacts from /and disturbances are that adversely affect an anticipateof. archaeological resource In conclusion, this report has identified no potential adverse impacts to the listed property located at 1970 Fischer -Hallman Road adjacent (contiguous) to the Stage 6 lands at 1940 Fischer -Hallman Road. 6A Design Conformity with Nearby Lands Existing developments to the east and north consist of single detached dwellings and townhouses generally between 2 and 2.5 storeys in height. These dwellings exhibit shallow setbacks from their respective streets and an orientation which faces the street. Hipped or gabled roofs are common and the dwellings and are typically clad in brick, stone, or synthetic siding. The proposed townhouses are 3 storeys in height, exhibit a shallow setback from the street and an orientation facing the street. They are proposed to include hipped roofs and are clad in brick and synthetic siding. Therefore they are deemed to be compatible with the existing and proposed subdivisions to the north and east. The portion of the adjacent listed dwelling located at 1970 Fischer -Hallman Road which faces the proposed development is located to the rear (north) of the original schoolhouse portion of the dwelling. Multiple rear additions are visible which are clad in synthetic siding and are 2 storeys in height. As the proposed development includes a landscaping buffer of 7.5 metres and interfaces with the north (rear) elevation of the original portion of the schoolhouse, the proposed development is deemed compatible with the existing property. The portion of the proposed development interfacing with the Stage 8 lands is located approximately 19.72 metres from the listed dwelling, and a landscape buffer of 3 metres is currently proposed which will provide a transition and visual screening. Additionally, the proposed townhouses are 3 storeys in height which is considered consistent with the existing low-rise residential character of the area. Therefore, no potential visual impacts related to the massing, scale, style, setbacks and materials of November 2024 MHBC 141 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener the proposed development on the listed dwelling located on the Stage 8 lands are anticipated. November 2024 MHBC 142 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener 7mOConsideration of Development Alternatives, Mitigation Measures and Conservation Recommendations 7.1 Alternative Development Approaches Alternative development approaches are typically only explored when major adverse impacts are identified as a result of the proposed actions. As no potential major adverse impacts have been identified as a result of the proposed severance and redevelopment, the consideration of alternative approaches is not deemed warranted. 7.2 Mitigation and Conservation Recommendations As this report has identified the potential for land disturbances related to the construction of the proposed stacked townhouses, the following measures are recommended: • That normal construction best practices be followed during construction, including the use of protective safety screening and fencing where required; and • That heavy equipment not be operated or stored along the boundary between the Stage 8 and Stage 6 lands. November 2024 MHBC 143 Heritage Impact Assessment Stage 6 Lands, Wallaceton, Kitchener 8. 0 Conclusion In conclusion, no adverse impacts are anticipated to the Stage 8 lands as a result of the proposed development, provided the mitigation recommendations in Section 7.2 of this report are implemented. Additionally, no adverse impacts are anticipated to the adjacent listed property located at 1970 Fischer -Hallman Road, nor to the character of the area.

In accordance with those policies, The City of Kitchener has provided, under Section 5.3 of its Official Plan, further policies to ensure the conservation of cultural heritage resources within the municipality, and has required that Heritage Impact Assessments be prepared for the purpose of guiding municipal planning authorities in the decision-making — approval, modification, or denial — regarding a proposed development that affects cultural heritage resources. The HIA prepared for the proposed subdivision by Carson Woods Architects Limited in October 2007 established that the cultural heritage resource located at 1940 Fischer - Hallman Road (the Becker House) will be affected by the proposed development of the 165 acre parcel of land for mixed Residential and Commercial use, with the immediate area adjoining the House identified as Medium\High Density Residential. The report also concludes that the house has been adversely affected by the extension of Fischer -Hallman Road in the last century. The establishment of a significant land buffer around the house, though desirable to maintain a rural context for the heritage asset, is considered impractical in the overall subdivision design by the proponents and by the municipal stakeholders other than Heritage Kitchener. Consequently, the first option, to avoid impact of the Development, is ineffective. Under these circumstances, according to Provincial Policy, other conservation or mitigative measures, or alternative developments or site alteration approaches must be considered. Recommendations based on the alternatives must respect the heritage value of asset in the context of overall development initiative. I Consideration of Alternatives Mitigation and Conservation Methods 1. Fischer -Hallman Road 1940 - (Excerpt CWAL HIA October 2007) The cultural heritage resource of interest at 1940 Fischer -Hallman Road consists of a mixed farming compound that includes a house, out buildings, a maple syrup shed, and a barn, that sits on a property that totals 59 acres. The house is situated immediately off the east side of Fischer -Hallman Road, in full view and facing south. The house was built circa 1870 with an irregular T-shaped plan and is one and a half storeys in height. The house is made of large split fieldstone bonded with rough mortaring, with a significant amount of wood trim along the facades. The chimneys are original fieldstone and concrete, and the roofing consists of brown asphalt shingles. The outbuildings are all tin roofed and have vertical board siding. The barn was remodeled and a silo was built circa 1950. See Appendix `A' Architectural Analysis provided by Heritage Kitchener. See Appendix `B' Current photographs of 1940 Fischer -Hallman Road. See Appendix `C' Measured drawings of 1940 Fischer -Hallman Road. 2. Identification of the Significance and Heritage Attributes of the Cultural Heritage Resource — (Excerpt CWAL HIA October 2007) The House has significant local heritage value. In both appearance and workmanship it is a quality example of the Victorian Gothic style of the late 19th century. It remains authentic inside and out with little alteration, except for the kitchen renovation and white stucco addition of the 1940's, which are themselves reasonable examples of their time. The south porch is also a replacement. The original would have appeared more like the porch on the east side with chamfered posts and carved bracket details, rather than the single arch and brick piers apparent today. The original wood and plaster mouldings are deeply carved offering dramatic highlights and shadows. Even without restoration of other minor interventions it is possible to experience the original character of this artifact. Some of the out buildings appear to be of considerable age but are not structurally sound. For this reason, the outhouse illustrated in the appendix documents, was taken down by the Becker family. The barn is substantial. Its "L" shape and internal structural detail support reports that the barn was enlarged; re roofed and re -clad in the 1950's.Though some of the hewn timber structure is clearly much older. In For the time being, the farmyard, out buildings and barn provide a rural architectural context for the house. These features are in turn supported in their context by the farm land and fields beyond. Given the quality of the house, it would be desirable to conserve the scene so that the life and industry of the farm can be more readily imagined, but it must be acknowledged that the current landscape arrangements are not authentic to the house. The house predates the construction of Fischer Hallman Road, which is now the apparent front of the house and its current address. The stonework on the south and east sides of the house is of higher quality than the masonry on the north and west elevations. The stones are both larger and better fit. This, along with the wide veranda and extravagant doorway, leading to the stair hall, on the south side is evidence that the builder, Mr. Wallace, approached the home from what are now the side and rear yards. A straight row of mature trees, leading southward away from the house towards the old school and Plains Road, lines the remnants of a long closed laneway. There is a large flat stepping stone in the yard opposite the east doorway that still bridges a ditch between the house and the overgrown lane. The east door once offered a vestibule to this address. The room is currently used as a kitchen cupboard, though the exterior door and front parlour door remain behind the shelves. On the west side, facing Fischer Hallman Road there is no door at all except a basement access. No doubt the arrival of Fischer Hallman Road facilitated the current back -door driveway access and created the opportunity to sever the lot on which the original laneway is located. Nature has overtaken the old driveway, and the neighbouring schoolhouse property is now outside the boundary of the current development. Future modification to widen and urbanize Fischer Hallman Road, such as those already under way to the north will bring further challenges. As an artifact, the house is a valuable heritage asset. It should be preserved with the least intervention to both interior and immediate exterior detail. The current farmyard, though attractive for its long association with the house, does not have a compelling heritage value of its own. So long as the house itself is preserved, opportunity exists for creative alteration of its surrounding environment. Any proposal must be sensitive to the heritage resource and respectful of the early patterns of its settlement. Key to this will be re -addressing the house to the south and east while protecting the west flank from Fischer Hallman Road. In this case, original architecture is the heritage resources principal value. To conserve this value, a viable use that is compatible with low impact rehabilitation is essential. The nature of that use will be significantly influenced by the proposed residential development. Though legal agreements can secure the heritage asset, the success of ongoing conservation will depend on the vitality of the proposed urban landscape that replaces the farm. It is reasonable to expect the new urban landscape to inform the surrounding context of the house, just as it was for the farm in its time. The house, and the meaningful patterns of settlement around it, must similarly inform the design of the new landscape. For the entire life of the house, the farm has been its economic support. In all heritage resource projects, particularly those involving assets of local heritage interest, the transition to a new source of economic, support inevitably raises questions of compromise. If a government agency or a private heritage foundation come forward to fund the preservation project and to underwrite the cost of on going maintenance, it is desirable to include the full farmyard and remaining lane so that the house operates as a museum with the least compromise to its current state. If this type of stable funding is unavailable then adaptive reuse of the asset and surrounding lands necessitate creative compromise. Best urban design practices should be employed to ensure that the any new built environment respects the scale and material quality of the house. If a concept for the new precinct features the house prominently while rehabilitation preserves its fine architectural detail then its heritage value will be adequately maintained. 3. Summary of Heritage Attributes The heritage value rests with the well preserved architectural character of the original house including: Exterior stone walls and corbelled chimneys Exterior roof and gable form Exterior wood frieze mouldings Exterior South entrance doorway Exterior east side porch posts and decorative scroll brackets Interior wood mouldings, casing and trim Interior plaster mouldings and chandelier medallion Interior staircase Interior doors and hardware Stain Glass windows Notable Changes The South Porch The south porch was altered in the mid 20`h century. The style of the brick piers and curved spandrel arch differ from the original narrow wooden posts and scroll brackets as found on the east porch; nevertheless, the change is an authentic chapter in the story and should not be changed unless the replacement restores the porch in the original style. Z The Kitchen Renovation The kitchen renovation is contemporary with the block masonry/stucco north addition. Original walls of the interior were modified to accommodate the arrangement. Here the style of the work differs from that of the original house, but again the change is authentic and should not be removed unless the intention is to restore the original interior layout. The North Masonry/Stucco Addition The north addition provides a utility garage and woodshed onto the house. The interiors are unfinished and unheated. The flat roof, white stucco walls and thin steel column details are in high modernist contrast to the Victorian house. The juxtaposition is not complementary but does reflect a 20`h century distain for the earlier 19th century forms and as such is an interesting chapter in the life of the dwelling. Depending on future use of the property additional interior space may be needed to support the proposed program of activity. If the current unheated shell can be renovated for these purposes it should be retained. However, if use necessitates a larger addition, then the north side of the house is the logical choice for expansion. The south and east sides of the house are the former front elevations. They contain fine masonry and wood detailing. Consequently, adding to these sides is out of the question. The west elevation is of lesser quality in terms of detail but is too close to Fischer Hallman Road to a support a significant addition. Other Desirable Features The Old Lane The Farm Yard 4. Description of the Proposed Development The proposed subdivision is a mixed residential community, which includes low density dwellings, town homes and high density housing along with retail commercial, a school and park lands. The subdivision incorporates neo -traditional street planning. The concept requires straight roads and back lanes for some of the single family homes provided with rear yard garages. These homes front onto formal avenues and boulevards integrated with small neighbourhood parks and a large central park for community recreation. The main access points into the subdivision align with developments already constructed to the north of Huron Road and for future development proposed west of Fischer -Hallman Road. The east part of the site includes an elementary school site and a large, wooded, lowland park that forms part of a larger open space needed for storm water control. The plan also includes a sequence of public spaces to commemorate the history of Plains Road. This park system follows the alignment of the old road allowance which cuts diagonally through the site from north east to south west. The Becker House at 1940 Fischer Hallman Road is located in the south west corner of the subdivision site in an area of proposed medium and high density housing. The challenge will be to accommodate the heritage asset within the built form implied by the proposed zoning density. 7 The heritage asset sits on a parcel of land bound on the north by proposed Street Two, on the east by proposed Street Three, on the south by the subdivision lot line and on the west by Fischer Hallman Road. This area is identified as Block 1 Stage 6 and Block 5 Stage 7 on the Subdivision Plan (see Appendix `D' Proposed Development Plan) The total area of the parcel is 2.19 Ha. (Approximately 235,000 sq.ft.) High density residential use implies a Floor Space Index (FSI) of greater than 3 times the area of the development lot. To accommodate this built area, while still preserving the heritage asset and a reasonable precinct around it, will involve buildings exceeding the height of the old house. The likelihood of shadow and view impact on the heritage site increases with density unless the site is controlled to restrict the highest density to those parts of the lot that limit these adverse impacts. The heritage building is located mid way along the west side of the block very close to Fischer -Hallman Road. The house faces south and east toward the interior of the parcel. In this configuration, the house is exposed to the arterial road on its back sides and has no street address for the natural front facades. The construction of new structures abutting the parcel boundaries risks isolating the heritage asset in a mid block or back yard setting. To offset this possibility the new structures must respect the heritage facades by offering a "front" to the heritage precinct within the center of the Block. Ideally a rehabilitated old lane would serve as a low volume vehicular access to the new structures as well as the heritage house. The position of the heritage building within a medium/high density zone will inevitably pressure the outdoor space around the house. The yard area south of the front porch and east of the kitchen porch are the minimum exterior areas needed to preserve a context for these fine facades. The west side is an impractical size for future development, but dense planting or fencing must be considered to mitigate the impact of increased traffic on the redeveloped Fischer -Hallman Road. The area north of the house provides service access and wooded area beyond. Whatever the future use, a well structured service area will provide utility in support of the activity and will ensure that these necessary functions do not encroach on the principal heritage elements. 5. Consideration of Alternatives New high density zoning in the precinct of the Becker house is not the natural setting of the heritage asset and so is not the first choice context for the dwelling according to the provincial heritage guidelines; preserving the farm setting would be preferred. An open parkland acting as a surrogate farm would be a next logical consideration. The proposed high density residential is well along the spectrum of choices. However, at the present time the development application has been vetted by every Municipal department, agency and stakeholder over a three year period. With the result, on balance of policy, that the preservation of large open areas or parks adjacent to the Becker house, though desirable, are not considered it be feasible. The house is located on high ground adjacent to the arterial road at the west edge of the subdivision property. The land falls away to the east. The practical location for large open areas needed to catch and store storm water is on the opposite side of the property. More formal parks are deemed to be better located in the heart of the development where access is centralized and connections to the open areas are possible. Mixed accommodation and housing cost levels are socially desirable for community development. The high ground and ease of access that made the Becker House site desirable for the farmstead now are considered favourable for the higher density residential zoning. The proposed setting for the house offers many challenges, but also some opportunities. A creative response for the adaptive reuse of the property is needed to preserve the heritage value. 6. Mitigative Measures To mitigate the impact of high rise development on the heritage asset five issues must be resolved. 1. Sunlight and shadow 2. Front address for the south and east sides 3. Protection from the Fischer -Hallman exposure 4. Appropriate use within the redeveloped context 5. Views of the house. See Appendix `E' Block 1 Stage 6 & Block 5 Stage 7 Design Study Shadow from neighbouring building could greatly affect the atmosphere of the house and surrounding garden. The original setting allows sunlight and air to penetrate the rooms of the house without restriction. It should be possible to restrict height and location of new construction to ensure continuity of this valuable resource. Given the sun angles throughout the year, the area northeast of the house is an ideal location for taller buildings. At no time will the shadow of a structure in this location fall on the house or garden areas. Structures built east of the Becker House may block the morning light. The lot is narrow east to west; consequently, new construction in this area cannot be situated far from the house. Buildings here should be restricted in height to prevent shadow from reaching the east side lawn. Southeast of the house the lot elongates. Normally this area and those areas south M and southwest represent the greatest potential impact on sunlight. In this case the length of the property affords the opportunity for a structure of approximately 15 storeys before mid morning shadows would begin to fall on the lawns south of the house during the spring and fall seasons. The lot south of the house tapers to the east, following the path of Fischer Hallman Road. The tapered land and the road prevent development south, southwest and west of the house. The layout shown in Appendix `F' Shadow Study, illustrates one example of a building mass configuration at approximately 3.5 FSI that leaves the heritage building in the sun throughout the spring summer and fall seasons. The illustration also shows an arrangement of townhouses east of the Becker House. Following the neo -traditional theme used elsewhere in the Subdivision the townhouses front on the west and are serviced by a lane on the east. This arrangement mitigates the potential back yard address of the Becker house by presenting it with a row of front doors. Both the new houses and the heritage asset share address onto the old lane. The high rise building to the south also presents a front side to the heritage precinct. The north end of the precinct provides necessary service access to the Becker house and to the high rise structure facing Street Two. The example also illustrates an arrangement of buildings, which preserve the view from the house towards the sky. A height limiting plane extending from the ground floor of the house at an angle of 45 degrees could be used to regulate the potential height of the surrounding buildings that are not otherwise limited by the shadow study. (See Appendix `G' Angular Plane) By restricting the height of new high density residential construction below the 45 degree angular plane the Heritage building will not appear overwhelmed by the size and scale of new construction. Traffic considerations will determine whether the current access to the Becker house from Fischer Hallman Road can continue to be used. Likely this ramp will be closed, with access provided from the Subdivision street system. The Fischer Hallman road allowance will continue to be upgraded as the area develops. However, the design of the cross section should not bring the paved road surface any closer to the Heritage structure. To mitigate the existing close proximity of the road and house, landscaping within the Becker precinct should include a thick planting of salt tolerant vegetation and deciduous trees, or a barrier fence on the west boundary for the full length of the house. The prospect of high-rise neighbours sharing the block with the Becker House implies that independent ownership of the house is unlikely. It may form a unit within a condominium corporation or may be held as a common element. Either way the use proposed must be compatible with the neighbouring community and respect the interior heritage assets. The continued use of the building as a family home is possible, but so too are a community center, child care or other social service outlet. With appropriate food preparation facilities added, a pub or local restaurant would be appropriate. The site will be designated historic with all the caveats and conditions of maintenance conventionally applied. It is therefore vital 10 to support an economically viable use to sustain the structure without it coming back on the public purse. For many years after the Becker house was built it sat at the north end of a lane that extended toward Plains Road. The original approaching view was from the south. Westmount Road, now Fischer -Hallman Road, was added many decades later and the lane was abandoned; nevertheless, the house can still be seen by motorist approaching from the south. It is appropriate to preserve this view as the public face of the house. 7. Conservation Plans Conservation plans for the heritage asset must recognize three phases of changing activity around the house before a stable long term environment is completed. They are: the current pre -development stage, the construction of the subdivision and the construction of the Block 1 Stage 6 precinct including rehabilitation of the Becker house. Pre -Development Phase. The house was vacated by the Becker family in the summer of 2007 and remains unoccupied. Without a tenant and regular maintenance routines, the property is vulnerable to decay and vandalism. Until the long term reuse of the property is established a resident tenant or business should be encouraged, provided this role is understood to be temporary and that no significant changes are made in the property to accommodate the tenancy. If a full time occupant is not found, a security service could be employed to review the site regularly and a maintenance contract provided to keep the house and its systems in good working order. The one alteration that should be encouraged immediately is installation of monitored fire detectors on all floors of the structure. Direct Detect — Fire Warning System or similar service. The aim of this stage is to preserve the heritage value. Respect for the items listed in article 3 is essential to this goal. Subdivision Development During grading, underground servicing and road works, the Block 1 Stage 6 precinct should be separated from the balance of the subdivision with a construction fence complete with filter fabric and silt control trench. The house sits on relatively high ground and has access directly to Fischer -Hallman Road. So long as this access is maintained the heritage property and tenant may function independently of the construction activity. Most importantly the Construction traffic will be kept out of the Block 1 Stage 6 precinct. Within Block 1 Stage 6, the current landscaping should remain to further buffer the house from construction activity. Once the Subdivision road system is established, access to the Becker house from Road Two would relieve the necessity for access to Fischer- Hallman Road and this ramp could be closed. 11 Throughout this phase, and the years it may take for the housing market to justify work on Block 1 Stage 6 & Block 5 Stage 7, it is desirable to keep a resident tenant or business in the heritage asset to maintain the premises and provide normal occupancy temperature and air exchange through the seasons. The goal of this stage is the same as the first, to preserve the heritage value by respecting the items listed in article 3 above. Development on Block 1 Stage 6 and Block 5 Stage 7 The market for medium and high density residential will determine the time table for development. Currently, these trends suggest that actual construction in and around the heritage building will occur towards the end of the overall subdivision project. Therefore, adherence to the preservation principals during the earlier stages will ensure that the heritage asset is available for rehabilitation into the final form of the development on these blocks. At the present time it is difficult to foresee all the possible outcomes for use and urban design that will be both practical and marketable when the heritage site develops. Consequently, the final issues and details related to preservation of the heritage asset must be considered when these designs are put forward by the proponents in a formal Site Plan Approval application. The submission of a detailed Heritage Design Guideline, at that time, will ensure that the impact of new construction in the heritage precinct and within the house will be adequately considered. Notwithstanding that the municipality will have the opportunity to review a detailed submission prior to final planning approval for development of Blocks 1 Stage 6 and Block 5 Stage 7, it is possible to establish specific goals for this final phase, which should be addressed in the site plan approval submissions. Proposed use must be compatible with the long term preservation of the heritage assets as described in article 3. The user may be a resident, a commercial operator or an institution provided the initial and ongoing demand for alteration of the existing architecture is limited. During construction of new buildings within the heritage precinct a perimeter fence set 6m from the exterior walls of the house should be erected to protect the structure by preventing use of the exterior yards. Any construction technique involving vibration of the ground should be studied by professional geotechnical and structural engineers for possible impact on the old masonry. During these operations the house should be regularly monitored for cracks. If they appear, alternate construction methods must be employed. With respect to the existing house, where possible the original elements should be retained. Replacement of elements, if necessary, should be to match the original the material and form. The south porch should remain unless a replacement to the style 12 of the original is proposed. The kitchen should remain unless restoration to the original wall configuration and detail is proposed. Any additional building on to the heritage structure, which may be required to support the program of the heritage asset should be built to the north of the structure and must be subservient to the older structure in both scale and material appearance. New buildings in the heritage precinct should present a front face to the heritage building and must be constructed to prevent the loss of daylight in the heritage building and the surrounding yards on the east south and west sides. Notwithstanding all the configurations possible with article 6 above, new building in the heritage precinct should respect the form and the scale of the heritage asset. Buildings taller than 4 stories should set back their mass from the house and present a facade to the heritage house no greater than 4 storeys. S. Implementation and Monitoring 1940 Fischer Hallman Road is not currently designated historical by the City. Once the proposed Plan of Subdivision is modified to balance the interests of all stakeholders, including Cultural Heritage, the conditions of approval should record the agreed elements of heritage value. The municipality may then choose to advertise their intent to designate the property. This would practically preserve the public right to control development of the building while leaving the particulars of a designation bylaw in abeyance until the Site Plan Agreement for the Block 1 Stage 6 is final. The agreed condition outlined in a Heritage Design Guidelines negotiated at the time of the Site Plan Approval application would form the basis of the designation bylaw. In this way the salient features of the final form of the heritage precinct may also be articulated in the designation bylaw or inform a Heritage Easement Agreement if one is deemed appropriate. For the time being, and to facilitate development approvals of other Authorities Having Jurisdiction, a Heritage Covenant Agreement may be appropriate to secure the asset 13 9. Summary of Conservation Recommendations 9.1. Preserve the following heritage elements of the house: Exterior stone walls and corbelled chimneys Exterior roof and gable form Exterior wood frieze mouldings Exterior South entrance doorway Exterior east side porch posts and decorative scroll brackets Interior wood mouldings, casing and trim Interior plaster mouldings and chandelier medallion Interior staircase Interior doors and hardware Stain Glass South Yard — Between Fischer Hallman Road and the old lane. East Yard — Between the house and the old lane. West Yard — Between the house and Fischer Hallman Road The old lane alignment For the short term, isolate the Block 1 Stage 6 with a construction fence and provide a residential or commercial tenant without any other significant alteration to the house other than a monitored fire detection system. This will assist with security. Regular use and maintenance regimes will help ensure that the heritage value does not deteriorate during the subdivision construction period. Later, during construction work on Block 1 Stage 6, a hoarding should be erected at a 6 meter distance from the house. Mitigate the impact of medium/high rise development on the heritage asset: 9.2. Preserve sunlight and limit shadow impact on the house and yards by locating taller buildings to the northeast and southeast corners of Block 1 Stage 6. 9.3. Provide a front address for the south and east sides of the Becker House with an approach from the south. Have new buildings face the Becker House with their front elevations no taller than the setback between the Heritage House and the new construction not to exceed 4 storeys tall. 9.4 Above the 4 storey perimeter, the height of the any additional structures should be restricted to the area below a 45 degree angular plane measured from the main floor level of the Becker House at the exterior walls. 9.5 Plant a dense, salt tolerant, hedge or provide a barrier fence to protect the Heritage House from exposure to vehicular traffic on Fischer -Hallman Road. 14 9.6 Ensure that an appropriate long-term use is proposed, which will require minimal alteration to the heritage building while providing a viable service within the redeveloped context. 9.7 Preserve views of the south elevation of the house from vehicles on Fischer - Hallman Road. 9.8 Establish a short and medium term plan to maintain the Heritage value of the asset until the long-term agreements are formalized. 9.9 Provide a residential or commercial occupant and regular maintenance of the building and surrounding yards. 9.10 Erect a construction barrier and siltation fence around Block 1 Stage 6 prior to commencement of subdivision grading and servicing. Conclude regulatory agreements: 9.11 Complete Official Plan Amendments, Rezoning and a Subdivision Agreement with acknowledgement of heritage assets, including an appropriate Heritage Covenant Agreement. Provide for site specific zoning of the Heritage Precinct. 9.12 Preserve the Municipal authority to designate 1940 Fischer Hallman Road by advertising the Intent to Designate, based on the fundamental elements of heritage value. 9.13 When detailed designs for the development of Block 1 Stage 6 and Block 5 Stage 7 are put forward by the proponents, negotiate the terms of a Site Plan Agreement and Heritage Design Guidelines prepared by the proponents specifically for the proposal. 9.14 Determine if a Heritage Easement Agreement is appropriate for the proposed ownership and management of the property. 9.15 Draft a Designation Bylaw based on the contents of the Heritage Design Guideline and Site Plan Agreement as mutually agreed to by the Municipality and the Proponents Prepared by: CARSON WOODS ARCHITECTS LIMITED Robert Anderson, O.A.A.

It has an irregular, almost T-shaped plan with some adherence to symmetry. It is one -and -a -half storeys with ten rooms, six of which are bedrooms, and a concrete block north wing. It is situated just off the east side of Westmount Road East, in full view and facing south. The property totals 59 acres in size and includes among its outbuildings a large gable barn, an old outhouse, and a maple syrup shed. Fanning has been mixed over the years, including dairy, beef cattle and various crops. It has been in the Becker family since 1936, when Roy Becker purchased it. The current owner, his son, acquired the farm circa 1960. Modern landscaping and sprawling trees surround the house. MATERIALS The house is made of large split fieldstone bonded with rough mortaring. The cellar is also fieldstone with a mud and concrete floor. The cbimneys are original fieldstone and concrete, and the roofing is brown asphalt shingles. There is a great deal of wood trim along the facades. The north annex is made of concrete blocks and the east veranda has a concrete floor. The outbuildings are all tin roofed and have vertical board siding. The veranda pedestals are made of bricks. EXTERIOR The front (south) elevation is composed of a projecting gable face with single -storey bay window at the south end, and a side gable section with almost full-length veranda. A gable dormer is located in the middle sloped roof of this second section. Both gables in this elevation have rounded arched windows with hoodmoulds and detailed fake key stones. The bay window has an elongated 4/4 window in each of its three sides. The two Gothic windows appear to be 1/l/1 aluminum storms, and the east one seems to have a double hung window with a border of smaller rectangular pane. Directly below the east Gothic window is a first floor 2/2 window. The somewhat central side hall entrance has a four pane transom with blue coloured glass, and two -pane sidelights with green and red coloured glass. The door itself is horizontally panelled with large upper window, and the jambs have vertical panelling. The veranda is not original, and has red brick pedestals supporting stubby square columns that taper to a minimal capital. There is a shed roof above with return eaves and a wooden moulded frieze. All of the trim along the facades is either uaimed green or white. Page 2 - ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS - 1940 FVestmount Road East The other windows in the house are either 616 or 2/2 double hung sash. Deviations from symmetry in window treatment include one missing second floor window on the west gable face, an oddly - placed stairway window on the west side of the north wing, and a missing first floor window on the east gable face. There is a fake window represented by closed shutters in the second floor of the east gable face. A second, two -bay veranda spares the east side of the north wing. It has original thin square posts with fluted capitals and decorative scroll brackets. The roof.is shed style with return eaves and is clad with asphalt shingles. Additional details include quoining, voussoirs above the windows, and projecting sills. The eave line is followed by a bracketed cornice with modillioned frieze. There are three original fieldstone interior end chimneys on the east, west, and north gable faces. Each chimney has a corbelled cap. Additional annexes include a clapboard exterior cellar entrance with gable roof on the west gable face. To the north is a concrete block entrance porch with one -bay garage. This addition has a flat roof and a concrete veranda which joins the original east veranda. INTERIOR The inside of this house is in very good and largely original condition. The front hall has an original curved staircase with polished wood bannister and ornate turned balusters. The stairline is followed by a high moulded baseboard and on the outside by a bead -and -reel moulding. Inside are original panelled doors with intact hardware. Some of the trim has detailed moulding. The dining room has an arch leading into the projecting bay window. This arch is highly ornamental with leaf -and -tongue borders around the panelling and S -scroll brackets. The bay itself has beautiful panelling below the windows and wide. The ceiling has an enriched foliated border moulded frieze, and an elaborate floral ceiling medallion made of plaster. There is also panelled wainscot along the walls. The rooms are spacious with twelve foot ceilings and have remained largely unchanged. Some upstairs walls have been rearranged. There are hardwood floors in the front hall The original wind-up doorbell has been retained and is now on the north exterior doo:-. Page 3 - ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS - 1940 Westmoant Road East CHANGES The bait was remodelled and a silo built circa 1450, and in 1964 a modern milling parlour was added. The concrete north annex was built circa 1450. Originally there was a summer kitchen and woodshed located on the north face of the house. This was removed when the concrete addition was constructed. The south veranda floor was replaced by a new floor in 1986. Some of the quoining has been redone and has not been mortared over. i ATYPICAL The curved staircase, second staircase medallion and mouldings FEATURES have all been very well preserved. This house and farm exist largely in original condition with several important stylistic characteristics intact. ` Even the old outhouse is intact, located north of the house. COMMENTS This house must be a high priority for designation. It is in very good condition and has a great deal of architectural value. The board -and -batten outhouse is also worthy of preservation.

It has an irregular, almost T-shaped plan with some adherence to symmetry. It is one -and -a -half storeys with ten rooms, six of which are bedrooms, and a concrete block north wing. It is situated just off the east side of Westmount Road East, in full view and facing south. The property totals 59 acres in size and includes among its outbuildings a large gable barn, an old outhouse, and a maple syrup shed. Fanning has been mixed over the years, including dairy, beef cattle and various crops. It has been in the Becker family since 1936, when Roy Becker purchased it. The current owner, his son, acquired the farm circa 1960. Modern landscaping and sprawling trees surround the house. MATERIALS The house is made of large split fieldstone bonded with rough mortaring. The cellar is also fieldstone with a mud and concrete floor. The cbimneys are original fieldstone and concrete, and the roofing is brown asphalt shingles. There is a great deal of wood trim along the facades. The north annex is made of concrete blocks and the east veranda has a concrete floor. The outbuildings are all tin roofed and have vertical board siding. The veranda pedestals are made of bricks. EXTERIOR The front (south) elevation is composed of a projecting gable face with single -storey bay window at the south end, and a side gable section with almost full-length veranda. A gable dormer is located in the middle sloped roof of this second section. Both gables in this elevation have rounded arched windows with hoodmoulds and detailed fake key stones. The bay window has an elongated 4/4 window in each of its three sides. The two Gothic windows appear to be 1/l/1 aluminum storms, and the east one seems to have a double hung window with a border of smaller rectangular pane. Directly below the east Gothic window is a first floor 2/2 window. The somewhat central side hall entrance has a four pane transom with blue coloured glass, and two -pane sidelights with green and red coloured glass. The door itself is horizontally panelled with large upper window, and the jambs have vertical panelling. The veranda is not original, and has red brick pedestals supporting stubby square columns that taper to a minimal capital. There is a shed roof above with return eaves and a wooden moulded frieze. All of the trim along the facades is either uaimed green or white. Page 2 - ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS - 1940 FVestmount Road East The other windows in the house are either 616 or 2/2 double hung sash. Deviations from symmetry in window treatment include one missing second floor window on the west gable face, an oddly - placed stairway window on the west side of the north wing, and a missing first floor window on the east gable face. There is a fake window represented by closed shutters in the second floor of the east gable face. A second, two -bay veranda spares the east side of the north wing. It has original thin square posts with fluted capitals and decorative scroll brackets. The roof.is shed style with return eaves and is clad with asphalt shingles. Additional details include quoining, voussoirs above the windows, and projecting sills. The eave line is followed by a bracketed cornice with modillioned frieze. There are three original fieldstone interior end chimneys on the east, west, and north gable faces. Each chimney has a corbelled cap. Additional annexes include a clapboard exterior cellar entrance with gable roof on the west gable face. To the north is a concrete block entrance porch with one -bay garage. This addition has a flat roof and a concrete veranda which joins the original east veranda. INTERIOR The inside of this house is in very good and largely original condition. The front hall has an original curved staircase with polished wood bannister and ornate turned balusters. The stairline is followed by a high moulded baseboard and on the outside by a bead -and -reel moulding. Inside are original panelled doors with intact hardware. Some of the trim has detailed moulding. The dining room has an arch leading into the projecting bay window. This arch is highly ornamental with leaf -and -tongue borders around the panelling and S -scroll brackets. The bay itself has beautiful panelling below the windows and wide. The ceiling has an enriched foliated border moulded frieze, and an elaborate floral ceiling medallion made of plaster. There is also panelled wainscot along the walls. The rooms are spacious with twelve foot ceilings and have remained largely unchanged. Some upstairs walls have been rearranged. There are hardwood floors in the front hall The original wind-up doorbell has been retained and is now on the north exterior doo:-. Page 3 - ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS - 1940 Westmoant Road East CHANGES The bait was remodelled and a silo built circa 1450, and in 1964 a modern milling parlour was added. The concrete north annex was built circa 1450. Originally there was a summer kitchen and woodshed located on the north face of the house. This was removed when the concrete addition was constructed. The south veranda floor was replaced by a new floor in 1986. Some of the quoining has been redone and has not been mortared over. i ATYPICAL The curved staircase, second staircase medallion and mouldings FEATURES have all been very well preserved. This house and farm exist largely in original condition with several important stylistic characteristics intact. ` Even the old outhouse is intact, located north of the house. COMMENTS This house must be a high priority for designation. It is in very good condition and has a great deal of architectural value. The board -and -batten outhouse is also worthy of preservation.
