BACKGROUND:
th
160 Courtland Avenue East is a two-storey 20-cenutry brick building. The building was
originally constructed in the Edwardian Classism architectural style. The building is
situated on a 1.71 acre parcel of land located on the north east corner of Courtland
Avenue East and Cedar Street South in the Mill Courtland Woodside Park neighborhood
of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that
contributes to the heritage value is the school.
Figure 1. Location Map of 160 Courtland Avenue East
A full assessment of the 160 Courtland Avenue East 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 heritage value was taken to the Heritage Kitchener Committee on
November 5, 2024. On this meeting date, the Committee recommended that pursuant to
Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, the cultural heritage value or interest of the Church
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 re sponse to amendments of the Ontario Heritage Act introduced
in January of 2023 through Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act. The City contacted
owners of the listed properties through an initial letter dated May 23, 2023, to inform them
of this undertaking. The property owners were contacted via a second letter dated
November 6, 2024. Staff have not heard from the property owners.
Per standard procedure, should Council support the Notice of Intention to Designate,
Owners will be contacted a third 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
Page 111 of 215
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 these changes respect the propertyÓs cultural heritage
value and interest.

Design/Physical Value
The property municipally addressed as 160 Courtland Avenue East demonstrates
th
design/physical value as an early institutional example of 20-century Edwardian
Classicism architectural style, with later additions added to the property. The original
building constructed circa 1922-1925 faces Courtland Ave East. Sometime before the
construction of the 1974 addition, a recessed two storey addition was added on the east
façade. Further east of the two-story addition is a 1974 addition that is lower in height and
projects forward at both the rear and front façade of the original building and the previous
addition. A small addition to the rear façade that projects from the original structure was
added sometime after the 1974 addition. Additionally, at an unknown date the roofline of
the original circa 1922-1925 building was altered with a half storey addition.
The circa 1922-1925 structure at 160 Courtland Avenue East demonstrates key
characteristics of the Edwardian Classicism style including many windows, a more
compact and simplified massing, straight rooflines and simple detailing, and some
classical features such as voussoirs and keystones.
Historical/Associative Value
The historical and associative value of 160 Courtland Avenue East relates to its direct
association with public education and the catholic school system within Kitchener. The
building was constructed circa 1922-1925 by a separate school board. As new settlers
Page 113 of 215
arrived in the area bringing with them Catholic and Lutheran beliefs, these communities
identified a need for schools that would offer their children faith-based education and
foster both their spiritual and academic growth. Catholic education in Waterloo Region
began in 1836 with the creation of the schools St. Agatha in 1835-1836, and St. Boniface
in 1836. Both schools, though they have undergone many renovations, still exist today.
160 Courtland Avenue East also has historical value due to its direct association with St.
JoesphÓs Church. To the east of the school is St. JoesphÓs Church, municipally addressed
as 148 Madison Avenue South. The land for the church was purchased from the School
Board in 1930, for a total of $3000. Prior to the construction of a basement chapel on the
newly purchased property, mass was held in St. JoesphÓs school. Before it closed in 2004,
St. JoesphÓs school was considered St. JoesphÓs Ðparish school.Ñ Many families whose
children attended St. JoesphÓs school were also members of the St. JoesphÓs
congregation.
Contextual Value
The contextual value of 160 Courtland Avenue East relates to its importance in
maintaining the character of the Cedar Hill Cultural Heritage Landscape. The subject
property and the surrounding area have been identified as being a Cultural Heritage
Landscape (CHL) by the 2014 City of Kitchener Cultural Heritage Landscape Study. Key
characteristics of this CHL include brick or the appearance of brick, topography of land,
and a mingling of early and late housing with institutional buildings; a pattern of
development that was not traditionally practiced in Ontario past 1920s in planned
communities. The presence of 160 Courtland Avenue East as a school since its
establishment contributes to the ÐcompletenessÑ of the Cedar Hill neighborhood.
The school is also physically, functionally, visually, and historically linked to its
surroundings. The school is situated at its original location and continues its original
function as a school. It maintains its historical connections to adjacent property,
specifically St. JosephÓs Church.
Other Values
Social Values
Maple Grove School has social value as a place of education. This building has been
providing this service since its construction circa 1922-1925, and its operations were
central to the function of the surrounding community. It remains a prominent place of
importance within the Cedar Hill neighborhood severing as one of the neighborhoods
notable institutional buildings. Schools often provide social value for a community, acting
as a source of socialization and learning for children. Additionally, when the school served
as the original location of St. JoesphÓs congregation before the basement chapel was
constructed, it served as a place where people gathered and socialized and created
community connections that can still be seen today in St. JoesphÓs church a nd the
surrounding community.

the Mill Courtland Woodside Park neighborhood of the City of Kitchener within the Region of
Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value is the school.
Heritage Value
160 Courtland Avenue East is recognized for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual
values.
Design/Physical Value
The property municipally addressed as 160 Courtland Avenue East demonstrates design/physical
th
value as an early institutional example of 20-century Edwardian Classicism architectural style, with
later additions added to the property. The original building constructed circa 1922-1925 faces
Courtland Ave East. Sometime before the construction of the 1974 addition a recessed two storey
addition was added on the east façade. Further east of the two-story addition is a 1974 addition that is
lower in height and projects forward at both the rear and front façade of the original building and the
previous addition. A small addition to the rear façade that projects from the original structure was
added sometime after the 1974 addition. Additionally, at an unknown date the roofline of the original
circa 1922-1925 building was altered with a half storey addition.
The circa 1922-1925 structure at 160 Courtland Avenue East demonstrates key characteristics of the
Edwardian Classicism style including many windows, a more compact and simplified massing,
straight rooflines and simple detailing, and some classical features such as voussoirs and keystones.
Front (South Elevation) Façade
The front façade faces Courtland Avenue East where a portion of the roofline, unknown and circa
1974 additions are visible. The circa 1922-1925 building features a symmetrical façade whose
massing can be divided into three sections.
The central section features red brick, a cast concrete foundation and stone materials. The central
section contains the primary entrance which is comprised of a classical frontispiece raised from the
ground features brick and piers with a concrete base topped by an entablature. The entablature
features a plain architrave and frieze, and a moulded cornice with dentils. The original building
features a classical entryway with rounded transom and sidelights. Above the rounded transom in the
entryway is a voussoir arch with a stone keystone. There are two flathead 1/1 basement windows
below the entablature, and one flathead 1/1 window siting above each basement window on the first
floor flacking the entrance. Both the basement and the first-floor windows feature stone sills and an
enclosed transom. Above the entablature is a second-floor window pattern that feature a single
flathead 1/1 window, a ribbon of three flathead 1/1 windows, and another single flathead 1/1 window
all with an enclosed transom and a stone sill. There is a stone belt course located above the second-
floor windows. Above the second-floor belt course, embedded into the roofline addition, a stone sign
reads ÐSt. JoesphÓs School.Ñ
The two sections of the original structure on either side of the central section are symmetrical and
feature red brick, cast concrete foundation and stone materials. There are three flathead 1/1
basement windows with stone sills and an enclosed transom on either side of the central section. A
first and second floor window pattern that features five flathead 1/1 windows with a continuous
enclosed transom and a stone sill are above the basement windows. A stone belt course sits above
the second-floor windows just below the roofline addition.
Side (East) Façade
Page 118 of 215
This side façade faces east but the circa 1922-1925 building is not visible because the unknown and
circa 1974 additions were built on the east façade.
Side (West) Façade
This side façade of the original building faces the west and features an almost symmetrical façade
that can be divided vertically into three sections and possesses a flat roof.
The central section features red brick, a cast concrete foundation and stone materials. The central
section contains the secondary entrance which is topped by an entablature. The entablature features
a plain architrave and frieze, and a moulded cornice with dentils. Sitting above the entablature are two
flathead 1/1 windows with an enclosed transom and stone sill. These windows have a base and top
that sits higher than the first floor windows at the front and rear façade of the original structure. Above
these windows are two flathead 1/1 windows with an enclosed transom and stone sills. The top of
these windows aligns with the second floor windows at the rear and front façade of the building, but
the base of these windows sit higher. There is a stone belt course above the second floor windows.
The two sections on either side of the centre feature red brick, cast concrete foundation and stone
materials. There is evidence of two flathead 1/1 basement windows with an enclosed transom and a
stone on either side of the central section. However, the basement window closest to the side
entrance on the left of this façade has been enclosed to accommodate a ramp. The enclosed transom
for this enclosed window is still visible.
Rear (North) (Façade)
The rear façade faces south where a portion of the rear, unknown and circa 1974 additions are
visible. The circa 1922-1925 building features a flat almost symmetrical façade whose window
arrangement creates 3 sections, and which possesses a flat roof.
The central bay features red brick with a cast concrete foundation, and stone materials. The rear
addition is also visible on this façade. On the left side of the rear addition are two flathead 1/1
basement windows with stone sills and an enclosed transom. A single flathead 1/1 basement window
with a stone sill and an enclosed transom is on the right side of the rear addition. Four flathead 1/1
windows with enclosed transom and a stone sill sit above the basement windows and addition on the
first and second floor. A stone belt course sits above the second-floor windows.
The two sections on either side of the central section are symmetrical and feature red brick and a cast
concrete foundation. These bays each feature a window pattern of two flathead 1/1 basement
windows, and a ribbon of two flathead 1/1 basement windows, all with stone sills and an enclosed
transom. A window pattern on both the first and second floor, above the basement windows, feature
five flathead 1/1 windows with a continuous enclosed transom and stone sill. A stone belt course sits
above the second-floor windows.
Additions (Unknown, c. 1974, Roofline & Rear)
A two-storey addition was built on the east façade of 160 Courtland Avenue East sometime before the
construction of the second addition in 1974. The addition is constructed of red brick and features
windows of a similar size but more modern style, featuring both stone sills and a belt course above
the second floor, but no window heads as is prominent in the circa 1922-1925 building. It is recessed
from the circa 1922-1925 building.
Further east, at both the front and rear of the circa 1922-1925 building, the 1974 addition projects
forward. The addition is constructed of red brick and is lower in height than the original building and
Page 119 of 215
the unknown addition. Neither addition detracts from the character of 160 Courtland Avenue East, or
the character of the Courtland Avenue East streetscape as they are setback or significantly set
forward from the original façade, and they do not try to emulate the original circa 1922-1925 building
style but are compatible in design.
The roofline of the original circa 1922-1925 structure also appears to have been altered at an
unknown date with a half-storey addition. This addition follows the footprint of the original roofline and
has red vertical cladding. The stone sign reading ÐSt. JoesphÓs SchoolÑ is embedded into this addition.
Additionally, at the rear façade of the original structure there appears to be a small 1-storey addition
that projects slightly from the original structure. This addition was added sometime after the 1974
addition. This addition is off-centre and positioned slightly towards to the west façade in the central
section. One flathead 1/1 basement window appears to have been covered to accommodate this
addition.
Historical/Associative Value
The historical and associative value of 160 Courtland Avenue East relates to its direct association
with public education and the catholic school system within Kitchener. The building was constructed
circa 1922-1925 by a separate school board. As new settlers arrived in the area bringing with them
Catholic and Lutheran beliefs, these communities identified a need for schools that would offer their
children faith-based education and foster both their spiritual and academic growth. Catholic education
in Waterloo Region began in 1836 with the creation of the schools St. Agatha in 1835-1836, and St.
Boniface in 1836. Both schools, though they have undergone many renovations, still exist today. In
1874 the School Sisters of Notre Dame were brought to the Region after heeding a request from St.
JeromeÓs Collage founder Father Louis Funcken. The religious sisters shaped the growth and
development of Catholic schools in the area and during their time teaching at St. JoesphÓs provided
invaluable lessons that helped form the values and belief of the students. St. JoesphÓs school was in
operation until June of 2004, after which it became the St. Louis Learning Centre. In 2014 the site was
sold and purchased by the Muslim Association of Canada and renamed Maple Grove School.
160 Courtland Avenue East also has historical value due to its direct association with St. JoesphÓs
Church. To the east of the school is St. JoesphÓs Church, municipally addressed as 148 Madison
Avenue South. The land for the church was purchased from the School Board in 1930, for a total of
$3000. Prior to the construction of a basement chapel on the newly purchased property, mass was
held in St. JoesphÓs school. Before it closed in 2004, St. JoesphÓs school was considered St. JoesphÓs
Ðparish school.Ñ Many families whose children attended St. JoesphÓs school were also members of the
St. JoesphÓs congregation.
Contextual Value
The contextual value of 160 Courtland Avenue East relates to its importance in maintaining the
character of the Cedar Hill Cultural Heritage Landscape. The subject property and the surrounding
area have been identified as being a Cultural Heritage Landscape (CHL) by the 2014 City of
Kitchener Cultural Heritage Landscape Study. Key characteristics of this CHL include brick or the
appearance of brick, topography of land, and a mingling of early and late housing with institutional
buildings; a pattern of development that was not traditionally practiced in Ontario past 1920s in
planned communities. The presence of 160 Courtland Avenue East as a school since its
establishment contributes to the ÐcompletenessÑ of the Cedar Hill neighborhood.

The school is also physically, functionally, visually, and historically linked to its surroundings. The
school is situated at its original location and continues its original function as a school. It maintains its
historical connections to adjacent property, specifically St. JosephÓs Church.
Social Value
Maple Grove School has social value as a place of education. This building has been providing this

surrounding community. It remains a prominent place of importance within the Cedar Hill
