BACKGROUND:
th
79-81 St. George Street is a two-storey late 19 century brick semi-detached dwelling built
in the Italianate architectural style. 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.
A full assessment of 79-81 St. George Street has been completed, including: field
evaluation and archival research. The findings concluded that the subject property meets
four (4) of nine (9) criteria for designation under Ontario Heritage Act Regulation 9/06
(amended by Ontario Regulation 569/22). An updated Statement of Significance
describing or interest was presented to the Heritage
Kitchener Committee on November 4, 2024. The Committee recommended that pursuant

St. George Street should be confirmed by pursuing designation of the subject property
under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. This work was undertaken as part of the City

to amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act introduced in
January of 2023 through Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act. Bill 200,the
Homeowner Protect Act, 2024, extended the time municipalities have to designate
properties listed on their municipal heritage registers until January 1, 2027.The City
contacted owners of listed properties through an initial letter dated May 23, 2023, to inform
them of this undertaking. Owners of properties recommended for designation were
contacted via a second letter. The property owner for 79-81 St. George Street was
contacted via second letter sent by mail dated December 19, 2024. This letter was
accompanied by the updated Statement of Significance and a

concerns.

(NOID), the property owner will be contacted a third time through a letter advising of the
is
served on the property owner and the Ontario Heritage Trust, and the newspaper ad is
posted, there will be a 30-day appeal period in which the property owner may object to the
designation.
REPORT:
Identifying and protecting cultural heritage resources within our City is an important part of
planning for the future, and helping to guide change while conserving the buildings,
structures, and landscapes that give the City of Kitchener its unique identity. The City
plays a critical role in the conservation of cultural heritage resources. The designation of
property under the Ontario Heritage Act is the main tool to provide long-term conservation
of cultural heritage resources for future generations. Designation recognizes the
importance of a property to t
value or interest; encourages good stewardship and conservation; and, promotes
knowledge and understanding about the property. Designation not only publicly recognizes
and promotes awareness, but it also provides a process for ensuring that changes to a
heritage value or interest.

Ontario Regulation 569/22)
Design/Physical Value
The property municipally addressed as 79-81 St. George Street demonstrates
th
design/physical value as a rare example of a late 19 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 Façade)
The front of the building faces St. George Street and is built with buff (yellow) brick and
features a three bay wide symmetrical façade with central porch entrances between two
one-storey projecting bays. The façade 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 Façades)
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 windows; and, a stone
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 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
-storey brick house, setup as 2-00 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).
