BACKGROUND:
Figure 1: Location Map of Subject Property
th
18 Irvin Street is a single-detached two-and-a-half storey late 19 century brick house,
currently used as a multiple-unit commercial building. 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.
A full assessment of 18 Irvin Street has been completed and included a field evaluation and
detailed archival research. The findings concluded that the subject property meets the
criteria for designation. An updated Statement of Significance on the propertyÓs cultural
st
heritage value was taken to the Heritage Kitchener Committee on April 1, 2025. On this
Page 603 of 783
meeting date, the Committee recommended that pursuant to Section 29 of the Ontario
Heritage Act, the cultural heritage value or interest of 18 Irvin Street be recognized, and
designation pursued. This work was undertaken as part of the City of Kitchener Municipal
Heritage Register (MHR) Review, initiated in February of 2023. The MHR Review is the
CityÓs response to amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act introduced in January of 2023
through Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act. 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. The City contacted owners of listed properties
through an initial letter dated May 23, 2023, to inform them of this undertaking. An update
th
letter reminding property owners of the ongoing work was circulated on February 27, 2025.
After designation was recommended by the Heritage Kitchener Committee in April 2025 the
nd
owner of 18 Irvin Street was contacted a third time via a letter dated April 2, 2025. This
letter invited the property owner to contact the CityÓs Heritage Planner with any comments,
questions, or concerns.
th
A voicemail response from the Owner was received on May 5, 2025 inquiring about the
implications of designation and the impact it may have to planned work on the property.
Heritage Planning staff responded that same day, and after discussion the Owner indicated
that they would appreciate some time to further consider the proposal and identify any
th
potential further questions. On May 28, 2025, the Owner contacted Heritage Planning staff
again and indicated their support of the designation. This was confirmed through another
nd
phone call by Heritage Staff with the Owner on June 2, 2025.
Per standard procedure, should Council support the Notice of Intention to Designate,
Owners will be contacted a fourth time through a Notice of Intention to Designate (NOID)
Letter. An ad for the NOID will also be published in a newspaper. Once the letter is served
and the ad posted, there will be a 30-day appeal period in which Owners may object to the
designation.
REPORT:
Identifying and protecting cultural heritage resources within the City of Kitchener 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 protection
of cultural heritage resources for future generations. Designation recognizes the
importance of a property to the local community; protects the propertyÓs cultural heritage
value; 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 property are
appropriately managed and that thes e changes respect the propertyÓs cultural heritage
value and interest.
18 Irvin Street is recognized for its design/physical and contextual values. It satisfies three
of the nine criteria for designation under Ontario Regulation 9/06 (amended by Ontario
Regulation 569/22). A summary of the criteria that is met or not met is provided in the table
below.
Page 604 of 783

7. The property has contextual value because it is important in Yes
defining, maintaining or supporting the character of an area.
8. The property has contextual value because it is physically, Yes
functionally, visually, or historically linked to its surroundings.
9. The property has contextual value because it is a landmark. No
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.
Page 605 of 783
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.

Page 607 of 783
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 a sense of individuality from the majority of the surrounding
architecture.
The subject property is physically, visually and historically linked to its surroundings. It is
located in situ and, although it is now used as a multiple-unit commercial building, the
exterior of the house has undergone few alterations as a result of the change of use and
continues to contribute visually to the residential character of Irvin Street and of the Central
Frederick Neighbourhood.
Figure 5: View of Subject Property Looking North Down Irvin Street
Page 608 of 783
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 to the overall contextual value of
18 Irvin Street.
Heritage Attributes
The heritage value of 18 Irvin Street resides in the following 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 Massing including the two-storey bay with five-sided hip roof dormer and
curved corner;
o Buff brick construction;
o Front verandah;
o Plain fascia and soffit;
o Moulded frieze with dentils;
o Gables with scalloped shingles;
o Window openings with brick voussoirs and stone sills; and
o Stone foundation.
All elements related to the contextual value, including:
o Location of the house and contribution that it makes to the continuity and
character of the Irvin Street streetscape; and
o Proximity to 14 Irvin Street.

Page 609 of 783
Section 29(2) of the Ontario Heritage Act requires Council to consult with the Municipal
Heritage Committee (Heritage Kitchener) before giving notice of its intention to designate a
property. Heritage Kitchener will be consulted via circulation and consideration of this
report (see INFORM above). Members of the community will be informed via circulation of
this report to Heritage Kitchener and via formal consideration by Council. In addition,
should Council choose to give notice of its intention to designate, such notice will be
served on the property owner and the Ontario Heritage Trust, and published in the local
newspaper (The Record). Once notice has been served, the owner has the right of appeal
to the Ontario Land Tribunal. It should be noted that should Council decide not to proceed
with a Notice of Intention to Designate, that the building will remain on the CityÓs Mu nicipal
Heritage Register until January 1, 2027, after which it will be removed according to the
changes enacted by Bill 23 and Bill 200. Once removed, it cannot re-listed on the Register
again for five (5) years, i.e. January 1, 2032.
