The key finding of this report is that the properties possess design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual value and meet the criteria for designation under Ontario Regulation 9/06 (amended through Ontario Regulation 569/22). There are no financial implications. Community engagement included consultation with the Heritage Kitchener Committee. This report supports the delivery of core services. BACKGROUND: st On January 1, 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 Municipal Heritage Register to be evaluated to determine if they meet the criteria for heritage st designation before January 1, 2025. Bill 200, the Homeowners Protection Act, 2024, extended the time municipalities must 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 *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. 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 th with consultation from the Heritage Kitchener Committee on February 7, 2023. Implementation of the work plan has now commenced. This report contains a summary of the findings for the properties recently reviewed, and recommendations for next steps. Progress on Work Plan Implementation As part of the work plan proposed in February 2023, Heritage Planning Staff committed to the review of 80 properties listed on the Municipal Heritage Register prior to January 1, 2025. As of the date of this report, a review has been completed for 91 properties. 3 properties are before the Committee as of the date of this report to be considered for designation. 41 properties have fully undergone the designation process. 32 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14 properties have been reviewed and determined that no action should be taken at this time, and 1 NOID has been withdrawn by Council. 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. Staff are working on an updated Work Plan and will bring it forward to Heritage Kitchener later this year. 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 significantto 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: they met one or more criteria of O. Reg 9/06 (amended through O. Reg. 569/22). Properties could be designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act if they meet two or more criteria of O. Reg 9/06 (amended through O. Reg. 569/22). 283 Duke Street West The subject property municipally addressed as 283 Duke Street West meets five (5) of the nine (9) criteria of O. Reg 9/06 (amended through O. Reg. 569/22): 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.

Heritage Kitchener Committee Options Option 1 Pursuing Designation for this property Should Heritage Kitchener committee vote to start pursuing designation for these properties, staff will then contact the respective property owners to inform them and to start working with them towards designation. Staff will then bring a Notice of Intention to Designate back to the Committee to initiate the designation process. Should a property owner object to their property being designated, they can submit an appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) to rule on the decision. If the OLT determines that the property should not be designated but remain listed, it will be removed from the Municipal Heritage Register on January 1, 2027.

Hibner Furniture Co. Ltd. c/o Daniel Hibner Original Use: Industrial Condition: Fair Description of Cultural Heritage Resource 283 Duke Street West is an industrial building with several additions, whose massing ranges from one to three storeys in height. It was constructed in the Industrial Vernacular architectural style. The building is situated on a 1.73 acre parcel of land bounded by Duke Street West to the east, Breithaupt Street to the north, Waterloo Street to the west, and rail lines to the south. It is within the Mount 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 283 Duke Street West is recognized for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values. Design/Physical Value 283 Duke Street West has design/physical value as a representative example of the Industrial Vernacular architectural style. The original building on site was constructed in 1886 for the D. Hibner Furniture Company Limited. A fire in 1896 destroyed this building, and the existing was constructed one year later in 1897. The reconstructed factory was a close copy of the first. There have been a number of additions added to the building in the ensuing 128 years, including in 1964 when a 20,000 square foot expansion was completed by the owners of the time Electohome. This addition gave the company the largest finishing line in Canada. Construction dates for other additions, including two one-storey components located on the north side of the building, are unknown. It is assumed that these are no original due to minor differences in construction, including different board sizes and the use of chamfer edges as opposed to radius edges in the projecting pilasters as well as varying sill thicknesses. The building ranges in height from one to three storeys. The construction is buff brick, now painted yellow. It is generally rectangular in its massing, though the north, west, and east façades are asymmetrical due to various setbacks and projections. Flat pilasters with shallow brickwork under the roofline provide some architectural intrigue and create bays in the façades of the building. The rooflines are varied and include flat roofs and low pitch side gable roofs. The window styles also vary throughout the building. Some are single hung 6/6 windows, paired in each bay on each level. Others are group into three to create a larger window opening. Some of the window openings are flat headed while others are segmentally arched, with original wood sills or concrete sills and soldier course headings. On the front façade of the building, there is a projecting front entrance which divides the structure into three irregularly sized sections. A brick voussoir can still be seen at the top of this projection, indicating that it once contained openings that have now been closed with more brick. One the southern side of the projecting entrance there are three bays with groups of three 6/6 windows with sills and soldier course heading. Remnants of a painted black sign above the first and second floor lower sign. Individual letters can still be made out on the upper sign. The northern section of the front façade is comprised of 6 flat pilasters the create 6 recessed bays. Each bay contains two segmentally arched single hung 6/6 windows on each level with sill and soldier course heading. The roofline on this section is lower than that of the northern and central section, projects further out from the walls, and lacks some of the brickwork. A rubblestone foundation can be seen in this section. Historical/Associative Value The site has historical and associative value due to its historic use and past owners of the property. It has further historical and associative value due to its contribution to the economic development and thth well-being of Kitchener (then Berlin) at the end of the 19 century and into the end of the 20 century. The building was constructed during a time when what was then Berlin was experiencing exponential economic growth and remained in operation when the City was considered a primary industrial centre of Canada. Its history has the potential to contribute to an understanding of this economic development. D. Hibner Furniture Co. Ltd. 283 Duke Street West was the original site of the D. Hibner Furniture Co. Ltd. Founded in 1889, D. Hibner Furniture was the top furniture centre in Berlin in 1912, during a period of time where furniture both across the country from coast to coast as well as internationally. D. Hibner Furniture Co. Ltd remained in the building until 1920, when it was sold to another furniture company, Malcolm & Hill Ltd. Daniel Hibner was the founder of D. Hibner Furniture Co. Ltd and a prominent figure within Kitchener. In addition to his position as an industrialist within the community Hibner was also heavily involved in politics. Hibner served the community in the capacity of reeve, councillor, and finally mayor. He led the manufacture opposition to reciprocity in Berlin during the reciprocity election. He was also actively involved in the Parks Commission, eventually serving as chairman. His efforts were instrumental in securing the land that now comprises Victoria Park (founded in December 1894), as well as founding Hibner Park which is the second oldest park within the City (founded August 1894). Dominion Electrohome Industrial Limited Dominion Electrohome Industrial Limited was a significant contributor to the economic history and development of Kitchener. The company was founded in 1933 by Arthur B. Pollock, through the amalgamation of Pollock-Welker Limited (formerly Pollock Manufacturing Company) and Grimes Radio Corporation. The name was selected by Arthur B. Pollocks son Carl, general manager at the time. Electrohome became the third owner of 283 Duke Street in 1936, after the company purchased the then-vacant building. The previous owner, Malcolm & Hill Ltd, had vacated the building in 1933. While both the expanding radio division and Phonola division were moved from the previous plant in Elmire to the new space in Kitchener, 283 Duke Street was larger than was required by the current operations. To use the excess capacity, Electrohome started producing furniture; this led to the creation of the Delicraft line of small fine quality tables in 1939. Prior to World War II, Electrohome employed 400 local citizens. During the war the company received substantial war contracts and employed over 1400. They were considered a nationally important industry vital to war efforts, being the producers of various parts for different equipment including planes as well as units for the communication field. The number of people employed by the company was reduced to 650 after the war ended but continued to rise steadily over the years until 1972 when Electrohome became the largest industrial employer within the Region of Waterloo. Electrohomes impact on Kitchener goes beyond the provision of employment opportunities and monetarily contributing to the local market through sales. The company was also one of the first to provide life and health insurance to its workers and was instrumental in influencing other employers to provide fringe benefits to their employees. Further, the company played a role in the development of educational institutes within the City by awarding scholarships to graduates and providing donations to different schools. Contextual Value The contextual value of the subject property relates to the contribution that the industrial building makes to the continuity and character of Duke Street West and the surrounding Warehouse District Cultural Heritage Landscape (CHL) as well as the adjacent Canadian National Railway Line Cultural Heritage Landscape. The Warehouse District CHL covers the west end of downtown Kitchener and is the result of rapid industrial growth and subsequent rapid population growth that was experienced within the City in the early twentieth century. Supported by the convergence of the railway lines in the area, the Warehouse District contains a number of large, historic warehouse and factory buildings that were formerly used for the manufacturing, storage, and exportation of raw material and products across Canada. These original industrial buildings include the former Rumple Felt factory, located at 60 Victoria Street North, just to the south of the subject property across the train tracks, and the former Berlin Piano and Organ Company complex located at 51 Breithaupt Street to the west of the subject property. 283 Duke Street West is also physically, visually, and historically linked to its surroundings, specifically the railway tracks. The former factory remains in situ and maintains its original organization along the railway lines with a front entrance oriented towards Duke Street West (known as Edward Street at the time of original construction). Heritage Attributes The heritage value of 283 Duke Street West resides in the following attributes: All elements related to the Industrial Vernacular architectural style of the buildings, including: o Varied rooflines, including flat roof and low pitch side gable roof; o Off-white brick (now painted); o Original windows, including 6/6 windows paired in each bay and ribbon of three 6/6 windows in each bay; o Original window openings, including flat head and segmentally arched openings with original wood sills or concrete sills and solider course headings; o Slight brick work under the eaves; o Flat pilasters; and, o Entrance on Duke Street West marked by simple projecting massing. All elements related to the contextual value, including: o Location of the buildings and contributions they make to the continuity and character of the Duke Street West and Breithaupt Street streetscapes and Warehouse District Cultural Heritage Landscape; and o Proximity to the rail line.

The house is situated on a 0.14 acre parcel of land located on the east side of Irvin Street between Frederick Street and Scott Street in the Central Frederick Planning Community of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value of the property is the house. Heritage Value 14 Irvin Street is recognized for its design/physical and contextual value. Design/Physical Value The design value relates to the architecture of the house. The house is a unique example of the Queen Anne architectural style and is in good condition. The house exemplifies several distinctive elements of the Queen Anne style, including two-and-a-half storey height, multi-pitched roof life with dormer and gables, asymmetrical façade, the use of varied materials and decorative elements, and a front verandah. The curved corner and curved glass window are unique features not typical of the Queen Anne style which contribute to the design value of the house. The house is two-and-a-half storeys in height and is made of buff brick with a stone foundation. The roof is a modified hip, with a gable at the front, a five-sided dormer to the left, and a smaller gable to the right. It has a plain fascia and soffit, but the frieze has a dentil row along the top and is moulded along the bottom. The front gable is faced with scalloped shingles. The windows on the house are a mix of single-hung and casement with flat tops, brick soldier course heading and stone sills. Some windows feature rounded tops, including one on the five-sided dormer on the northwest façade and a couple on the ground and second floors on the southeast façade. Those on the southeast façade have brick voussoirs capped with simple decorative masonry elements. There is a two-storey bay window under the five-sided dormer on the northwest side façade. To the left of the front façade, the brick wall of the house curves to become the side wall, creating a curved corner. On each storey of the curved wall is a large, curved glass window, another unique feature. The main roof line and the verandah also follow this curve. Many Queen Anne style homes feature corner turrets or towers, but the continuation of a straight wall into a curved corner is unusual and contributes significantly to the design value of the house. The unique building footprint and architectural features are also present at the neighbouring 18 Irvin Street. It is likely that they were built at the same time and by the same builder. The two homes have a relationship with each other which will be further discussed in the contextual value section. Contextual Value The contextual value relates to the contribution that the house makes to defining, maintaining and supporting the Irvin Street streetscape and the Central Frederick Neighbourhood. It also has a unique relationship with the neighbouring 18 Irvin Street. The Central Frederick Neighbourhood is largely comprised of late-nineteenth century low-density residences. There is a limited range of architectural styles present, including Queen Anne, Arts and Crafts, and Berlin Vernacular. Distinctive architectural features of the residences in this neighbourhood include attic gabled roofs, decorative trim, brick construction, porches, and other details associated with the era in which they were developed. The houses in the Central Frederick neighbourhood are notable for the consistency of their scale, materials, features, massing and surrounding landscapes. The features unique to each dwelling, however, allow for an orderly sense of individuality among the houses. The height, massing, materiality, and setbacks of 14 Irvin Street are consistent with others on the street, contributing to the uniformity. However, its distinctive curved wall and window are unique features which contribute to an orderly sense of individuality. The subject property is physically, visually and historically linked to its surroundings. It is located in situ and has undergone little alteration. Although it is no longer used for residential purposes, the exterior of the house is unaltered and contributes to the residential character of Irvin Street and of the Central Frederick Neighbourhood. 14 Irvin Street also has a unique contextual relationship to the neighbouring 18 Irvin Street. The two houses have the same footprint, including the distinctive curved wall. They share all of the heritage attributes listed below. From the archival research conducted, it is very likely that the two houses were built at the same time and by the same family (the Roos family). The unique relationship between these two houses contributes significantly to the overall contextual value of 14 Irvin Street.

The house is situated on a 0.14 acre parcel of land located on the east side of Irvin Street between Frederick Street and Scott Street in the Central Frederick Planning Community of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value of the property is the house. Heritage Value 18 Irvin Street is recognized for its design/physical and contextual value. Design/Physical Value The design value relates to the architecture of the house. The house is a unique example of the Queen Anne architectural style and is in good condition. The house exemplifies several distinctive elements of the Queen Anne style, including two-and-a-half storey height, multi-pitched roof life with dormer and gables, asymmetrical façade, the use of varied materials and decorative elements, and a front verandah. The curved corner and curved glass window are unique features not typical of the Queen Anne style which contribute to the design value of the house. The house is two-and-a-half storeys in height and is made of buff brick with a stone foundation. The roof is a modified hip, with a gable at the front, a five-sided dormer to the left, and a smaller gable to the right. It has a plain fascia and soffit, but the frieze has a dentil row along the top and is moulded along the bottom. The dormer and gables are faced with scalloped shingles. The windows are primarily single hung with flat tops, brick soldier-course headings and stone sills. Some windows feature semi-arched tops, such as those on the five-sided dormer on the northwest side façade and some on the first and second floor of the southeast façade. Those on the southeast façade have brick voussoirs capped with simple decorative masonry elements. There is a two-storey bay window under the five-sided dormer on the northwest side façade. To the left of the front façade, the brick wall of the house curves to become the side wall, creating a distinctive corner. On each storey of the curved wall is a large, curved glass window, another unique feature. The main roof line and the verandah also follow this curve. Many Queen Anne style homes feature corner turrets or towers, but the continuation of a straight wall into a curved corner is unusual and contributes significantly to the design value of the house. The unique building footprint and architectural features are also present at the neighbouring 14 Irvin Street. It is likely that they were built at the same time and by the same builder. The two homes have a relationship with each other which will be further discussed in the contextual value section. Contextual Value The contextual value relates to the contribution that the house makes to defining, maintaining and supporting the Irvin Street streetscape as well as the surrounding Central Frederick Neighbourhood Cultural Heritage Landscape. It also has a unique contextual relationship with the neighbouring 14 Irvin Street. The Central Frederick Neighbourhood is largely comprised of late-nineteenth century low-density residences. There is a limited range of architectural styles present, including Queen Anne, Arts and Crafts, and Berlin Vernacular. Distinctive architectural features of the residences in this neighbourhood include attic gabled roofs, decorative trim, brick construction, porches, and other details associated with the era in which they were developed. The houses in the Central Frederick neighbourhood are notable for the consistency of their scale, materials, features, massing and surrounding landscapes. The features unique to each dwelling, however, allow for an orderly sense of individuality among the houses. The house at 18 Irvin Street exemplifies these characteristics. The height, massing, materiality, and setback of the house are consistent with others on the street, contributing to the uniformity. However, its distinctive curved wall and window are unique features which contribute to an orderly sense of individuality. The subject property is physically, visually and historically linked to its surroundings. It is located in situ and has undergone little alteration. Although it is no longer used for residential purposes, the exterior of the house is unaltered and contributes to the residential character of Irvin Street and of the Central Frederick Neighbourhood. 18 Irvin Street also has a unique contextual relationship to the neighbouring 14 Irvin Street. The two houses have the same footprint, including the distinctive curved wall. They share almost all the heritage attributes listed below, with the exception of a front balcony, some windows and the scalloped shingles on the side dormers which have been replaced with different siding at 14 Irvin Street. From the archival research conducted, it is very likely that the two houses were built at the same time and by the same family (the Roos family). The unique relationship between these two houses contributes significantly to the overall contextual value of 18 Irvin Street. Heritage Attributes The heritage value of 18 Irvin Street resides in the following heritage attributes: All elements related to the Queen Anne architectural style of the house, including: o Two-and-a-half height of the house; o Irregular hip roof; o Plain fascia and soffit; o Moulded frieze with dentils; o Gables with scalloped shingles; o Buff brick; o Curved corner with curved glass window; o Front verandah; o Windows and window openings with brick voussoirs and stone sills; o Two storey bay window with five sided hip roof dormer; and, o Stone foundation.
