BACKGROUND:
Changes made to the Ontario Heritage Act through the passage of Bill 60, now afford
municipalities the opportunity to list properties that have not been designated under the Act but
that the municipality believes to be of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal
Heritage Register. Further, the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) issued under Section 3 of the
Ontario Planning Act, has been amended and expands the definition of "built heritage
resources" to include properties listed by local jurisdictions. Together, the amendments made to
the Ontario Heritage Act and the Provincial Policy Statement of the Planning Act, offer an
opportunity for the City of Kitchener to update the Heritage Kitchener Inventory of Historic
Buildings and strengthen efforts to conserve property identified as being of cultural heritage
value or interest to the municipality.
On November 27, 2006 Council approved a 4-step process for listing non-designated property
of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register, as outlined in Staff
Report DTS-05-213.
The process involves the following steps:
1. Initial evaluation by a recorder through completion of a survey form and taking
photographs (only where properties are visible from the public realm).
2. Short listing of properties following a review of the recorder's survey form and
photographs; undertaken by an evaluation sub committee comprised of City Staff and/or
Heritage Kitchener Committee members.
Heritage Planning staff prepare a `statement of significance' for each short-listed
property and notify the property owner of the heritage interest in the property. Property
owners are invited to make comment and attend the Heritage Kitchener meeting where
their property will be considered for possible listing on the Municipal Heritage Register.
3. The City's Heritage Kitchener Committee reviews the merits of the short listed
properties; considers the comments of the property owner (if made); and makes a
recommendation to City Council.
4. City Council makes a decision on whether or not to list the properties on the Municipal
Heritage Register as "non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest."
Listing non-designated property on the Municipal Heritage Register is an important step in
identifying the City's cultural heritage resources. It does not impose restrictions or obligations
with regard to obtaining heritage approvals, meaning property owners do not require a heritage
permit or City approval to make alterations. Listing on the Municipal Heritage Register does
increase the amount of time the City has to process demolition applications (up to 60 days), and
does have implications in ensuring that the City is consistent with the Provincial Policy
Statement when processing Planning Act applications.
As of the date of this report, Council has listed 49 properties on the Municipal Heritage Register
as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest.
REPORT:
City Staff continue to work towards the implementation of the process for listing non-designated
property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. The process
continues to ensure a thorough and objective evaluation of each property, and an opportunity
for public input and consultation.
The properties municipally addressed 111 Ahrens Street West; 156 Benton Street; 301 Charles
Street East; 24 Courtland Avenue East; 26 Courtland Avenue East; 35 Courtland Avenue West;
800 King Street East; 1027 King Street East; 19 Mill Street; 25 Mill Street; 11-15 Pandora
Avenue North; 214 Queen Street South; 120 Victoria Street South; 127 Victoria Street South;
130 Victoria Street South; 131 Victoria Street South; 142 Victoria Street South; 163-165 Victoria
Street South; and, 187-193 Victoria Street South have been recommended by both the recorder
and the evaluation sub-committee to be listed as non-designated property of cultural heritage
value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. As a result, the property owners have been
formally notified of the heritage interest and invited to participate in Step 3 of the process. Step
3 involves the Heritage Kitchener Committee meeting scheduled for January 5, 2010, where the
properties will be considered for listing as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or
interest on the Municipal Heritage Register.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
N/A
COMMUNICATIONS:
An information package has been mailed to all affected property owners. The information
package includes: a letter that describes the heritage interest in the property and the listing
process, including how property owners can make comment; a copy of the Municipal Heritage
Register brochure; and, a copy of the Statement of Significance which describes the historic
place, identifies the key heritage values, and lists the principal heritage attributes. The
Statement of Significance also includes photographs of the property and a copy of the Cultural
Heritage Resource Evaluation Form, which was completed by the recorder and evaluation sub-
committee.
The property owner of 19 and 25 Mill Street has expressed objection to the process. Heritage
Planning staff have met with the property owner to discuss the objections. The property owner is
concerned that listing as anon-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the
Municipal Heritage Register may prevent development. Heritage Planning staff have advised
that listing does not prevent development but rather ensures that the impact of the proposed
development on the heritage resource is evaluated (via submission of a Heritage Impact
Assessment) so that an appropriate level of conservation is achieved. In addition, Heritage
Planning staff advised the property owner that irrespective of the proposed listing and in
compliance with the Provincial Policy Statement, a Heritage Impact Assessment may be
required for development on the property as it is located directly adjacent to the Victoria Park
Heritage Conservation District.
The property owner of 214 Queen Street South (York Apartments) has also expressed objection
to the process. Heritage Planning staff received a voicemail from the property owner expressing
objections to any heritage status. Heritage Planning staff sent afollow-up letter inviting the
property owner to meet and discuss the objections in advance of the scheduled Heritage
Kitchener Committee meeting. The property owner follow-up by phone and indicated that they
do not want another layer of bureaucracy.
The property owner of 127 Victoria Street South has also expressed objection to the process.
Heritage Planning staff have had written correspondence with the owner in an attempt to
understand the concerns. The property owner is concerned that listing the property as a non-
designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register may
restrict future expansion and/or complicate the approval process for future expansion. Heritage
Planning staff have advised that listing does not prevent development but rather ensures that
the impact of the proposed development on the heritage resource is evaluated (via submission
of a Heritage Impact Assessment) so that an appropriate level of conservation is achieved. In
addition, Heritage Planning staff advised the property owner that irrespective of the proposed
listing and in compliance with the Provincial Policy Statement, a Heritage Impact Assessment
may be required for development on the property as it is located directly adjacent to the Victoria
Park Heritage Conservation District.
The property owner of 120 Victoria Street South (Huck Glove Company) has also expressed
objection to the process. Heritage Planning staff received an a-mail from a solicitor representing
the property owner requesting an extension of time into the new year to file submission in late
January or early February as well as a deferral of the review by the Heritage Kitchener
Committee from the January 5, 2010 meeting to a date in February or March 2010. Heritage
Planning staff sent afollow-up e-mail advising the solicitor that the subject property is located
immediately adjacent to the boundary of the Victoria Street South Mixed Use Corridor and that
City staff are proceeding in January 2010 with aCity-initiated zone change to apply Mixed Use
Corridor zoning to the lands located within the Victoria Street South Corridor. Heritage Planning
staff also advised that establishing whether the subject property is of heritage interest to the City
is part of the planning process. As a result, Heritage Planning staff advised that staff prefer to
schedule consideration for listing the subject property at the January 5, 2010 Heritage Kitchener
Committee meeting. Heritage Planning staff invited the solicitor and owner to meet and discuss
questions or concerns in advance of the Heritage Kitchener Committee meeting. The solicitor
provided written correspondence dated December 15, 2009 indicating that the owner opposes
listing of the property as anon-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the
Municipal Heritage Register. The reason for objection is based on the solicitor's opinion: that
there is no design or physical value; that the building is in fair condition; and, that the building
has no historic or associative value (see original letter in Appendix B: Correspondence). In
addition, the solicitor advised that the list of heritage attributes is in error. Photos of the building
were taken on August 13, 2009 and depict the heritage attributes as listed in the original
Statement of Significance circulated to the owner. New photos were submitted with the letter of
objection depicting that the historic sign banding has been removed from the front and side
elevation of the building. As a result, Heritage Planning staff have amended the Statement of
Significance to reflect these changes. Lastly, the owner has indicated that they would like to
meet and discuss this matter and as a result Heritage Planning staff will follow-up with the
owner to arrange a meeting before the January 5, 2010 Heritage Kitchener Committee meeting.
CONCLUSION:
Identifying specific local cultural heritage resources is a vital first step toward upholding the
City's responsibility to protect and conserve its heritage. The following properties have
undergone thorough and objective evaluation through the City's process for listing property on
the Municipal Heritage Register:
^ 111 Ahrens Street West;
^ 156 Benton Street;
^ 301 Charles Street East;
^ 24 Courtland Avenue East;
^ 26 Courtland Avenue East;
^ 35 Courtland Avenue West;
^ 800 King Street East;
^ 1027 King Street East;
^ 19 Mill Street;
^ 25 Mill Street;
^ 11-15 Pandora Avenue North;
^ 214 Queen Street South;
^ 120 Victoria Street South;
^ 127 Victoria Street South;
^ 130 Victoria Street South;
^ 131 Victoria Street South;
^ 142 Victoria Street South;
^ 163-165 Victoria Street South; and,
^ 187-193 Victoria Street South.
The result of the evaluation is that these properties meet the City's criteria for listing as non-
designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register.
Statements of Significance, outlining the value and interest of each of these properties are
included in Appendix `A' of this report.

APPENDIX `A': STATEMENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The historic and associative values relate to original building owner Hartman Krug.
Hartman Krug was born in 1853 in New Dundee. Krug's father, Henry, was a maker of
fine furniture and he followed in his father's footsteps. Hartman Krug became an expert
carpenter and joiner and armed with these skills he moved to Berlin, Ontario. In 1887 H.
Krug established a furniture factory opposite the Grand Trunk Railway station. He was
also a charter member of the Interior Hardwood Company, and in 1916 purchased the
Doon Twine plant and brought it into the City. His son Henry was President of the Doon
Twine plant and his son Rudolph of the H. Krug Furniture Company.
The H. Krug Furniture Company initially produced frames, dining room sets, and
rockers, but by 1908 production included all types of furniture, with a specialty in chair-
making.
The Krug website indicates that:
Krug's attention to detail and quality was the force behind its popularity within
Canada. Steam-bent and hand-carved pieces were the trademarks of a company
whose goal was to create an elegant and lasting product. In the 1930's, Krug was
producing office and contract chairs and tables exclusively, and in the war years
of 1939 to 1945, virtually all the company's production was for the Canadian
government's war effort. In the post-war boom period, Krug's output grew rapidly
to supply a market in which office furniture was in high demand.
The implementation of new equipment and procedures were required for Krug's
entrance into the U. S market mid 1970's. As a result Krug entered into the desk
market, and purchased Imperial Furniture of Stratford, Ontario in 1980. Krug
immediately moved its large lumber and kiln-drying operations to Stratford and
also began production of its new traditional desk line there, while continuing
production at the Ahrens Street plant.
Today Krug is one of the fastest growing companies in the office furniture
industry. Fueled by product development and plant expansions Krug has enjoyed
double-digit growth each of the past four years. Additionally, Krug's showrooms
and outstanding team of sales representatives across the United States and
Canada have achieved sales of almost 100 million dollars. "This is a very exciting
time for Krug," Says Len Ruby, Krug President. "With a 125 years of rich heritage
we continue to grow by leveraging today's technology, with Hartman Krug's
vision for detailed craftsmanship. "
According to the Berliner Journal, Hartmann Krug expanded his factory many times.
Here is a list of construction between 1887 and 1903: built two-storey furniture factory
for $2500 (1887); enlarged factory for $400 (1888); erected chimney and enlarged
factory for $1000 (1889); built an addition to the factory for $2000 (1890); enlarged the
factory for $200 (1891); built a boiler room for $100 (1892); built four-storey new
building for $8000 (1894); undertook improvements to the factory for $400 (1895);
APPENDIX `A': STATEMENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE
undertook improvements to the factory for $200 (1896); enlarged the factory for $800
(1897); built a drying house for $1000 (1898); built an addition to the boiler room and
built walls around the boiler for $1000 (1890); built four-storey addition to factory for
$6000 (1901); and, built a drying house for $200 (1903).
The Alpha Chemical Co. was founded by brothers William John and David Moody on
Foundry Street (Ontario Street) making stove and harness polishes. The company
moved to the Breithaupt Street location in 1897. In 1957 the company manufactured
more than 60 products including: soaps, cleaners, polish, dubbin, ink, anticeptics,
mucilage, enamels, sewing machine oil, silver cream, wax tile, compounds and
abrasives. The H. Krug Furniture Co. purchased the Alpha Chemical Co. building on
Breithaupt Street in 1979.

800 King Street East is a two storey early 20t" century building. The building is situated
on a 5.11 acre parcel of land located on the north side of King Street East between
Dane Street and Stirling Avenue North in the King East Planning Community of the City
of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The principal resource that contributes to
the heritage value is the church cemetery.
Heritage Value
800 King Street East is recognized for its design, physical, historical and associative
values.
The design and physical values relate to the cemetery markers. The cemetery contains
the strongest concentration of folk-decorated Pennsylvania-German markers in Ontario.
The earliest markers are made of sandstone and feature folk art motifs such as fraktur
lettering, embroidered textiles, the tulip, the tree of life, the heart, the eye. White
quartzite began to replace sandstone between 1840 and the World War I while grey
and red granite replaced white quartzite following World War I. Both the sandstone and
quartzite stones are deteriorating. The sandstone markers often originated from the
Whirlpool formation in the Georgetown area of Ontario. The sandstone was sawn into
shape for use in Waterloo County with a basic rectangular slab form with one or more
hemispherical or convex arches. The sandstone markers were originally cream or rust
but have now weathered to a dark grey.
The historic and associative values relate to Bishop Benjamin Eby and the First
Mennonite Church. The cemetery location was established in 1808 upon the accidental
death and subsequent burial of Samuel Smith's son George. In 1813, services of the
First Mennonite Church were held in a log school house. On February 15, 1816 the first
deed was drawn up for the church property between Joseph and Elizabeth Eby and
APPENDIX `A': STATEMENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Jacob and Mary Shantz, of the first part, and "the Elders of the Menonist(sic) Society"
John Gresman (Cressman) and Jacob Snyder (Schneider), of the second part, "and
their Successors in the said Society of Block number two." The conveyers sold to the
church one acres in lot 1 for the sum of $10. Included in the deed was the half acre
reserved by Joseph Eby in 1810, so that the entire deed reads for one-and-one-half
acres. On October 17, 1816 a second deed was drawn up with the conveyers being
Benjamin Eby and Samuel Eshelman who give 3/4 of an acre to the same trustees, "and
their Successors in the said Eldership of Waterloo Township." The log worship facility is
replaced in 1834 with a white frame meeting house. On June 28, 1853 Bishop Benjamin
Eby passed away at the age of 68. The demand for a village cemetery arose in 1860 as
a result of an outbreak of small pox. The white frame meeting house is replaced in 1902
with a white brick church. The church property acquired one acre of land from the City
of Berlin in 1914 for cemetery purposes. Another 0.42 acres of land were purchased in
1933 bringing the church and cemetery property to 5.75 acres.
Some of the names of those buried in the cemetery include: Elizabeth Eby, Samuel
Clemens, Veronica Eby, Heinrich Schuh, Hanna Schantz, Maria Bauman, Hiram
Thomas, Henrich Kolb, and, Elisa Eby.
A Provincial Plaque located on the property was erected by the Ontario Archaeological
and Historic Sites Board for Bishop Benjamin Eby, 1785-1853.
Heritage Attributes
The heritage value of 800 King Street East resides in the following heritage attributes:
^ All elements related to the cemetery, including:
o Sandstone markers;
o Quartzite markers; and,
o Granite markers.

1027 King Street East, Kitchener
Legal Description:
Plan 404 Lot 16 to 18 Lot 27 to 29 Part
Lot 25
Year Built: 1914
Architectural Style:

Original Owner: Onward
Manufacturing Company Limited
Original Use: Institutional
Condition: Good
Description of Historic Place
1027 King Street East was originally a two storey early 20t" century building built in the
Industrial Vernacular architectural style. Various additions and modifications have
occurred to the building resulting in no single distinct architectural style. One interesting
addition was the construction of a central tower addition, which is influenced by the Art
Deco architectural style. The building is situated on a 0.76 acre parcel of land located
on the south side of King Street East between Borden Avenue and Ottawa Street in the
King East Planning Community of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo.
The principal resource that contributes to the heritage value is the original building and
Art Deco addition.
Heritage Value
1027 King Street East is recognized for its contextual, historical and associative values.
The original building is representative of industrial vernacular architecture. The building
is three bays wide by six bays deep. Three bays face both King Street East and
Charles Street East. The main fagade is King Street East. The building features: brick
construction; brick pilasters; large window openings; and, concrete headers and sills.
The contextual value relates to the buildings location and design. The fagade of the
original building is parallel to King Street East and is perpendicular to Onward Avenue.
The original building is located directly across from Onward Avenue resulting in a clear
view down Onward Avenue towards the front fagade of the original building. It is clear
that the original architect and builder considered the importance of siting the building
directly across from Onward Avenue.
APPENDIX `A': STATEMENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The historic and associative values relate to the original owner and use of the building
as well as the architect of the 1946 addition. The original owner was Theodore Adam
Witzel of the Onward Manufacturing Company Limited. In 1906, Mr. Witzel's company
became the first in Canada to manufacture and sell hand vacuum sweepers and electric
vacuum cleaners under the trade names of Onward and Triumph. The company was
renamed Onward Manufacturing Company Limited in 1908. In 1908 a second company,
The Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Company, was established. The vacuums were
manufactured in the US while the Onward Manufacturing Company Limited focused on
product distribution throughout Canada. The plant opened at 1027 King Street East,
Kitchener, in 1914. The Eureka and Onward companies were amalgamated under the
name Onward Manufacturing Company Limited in 1924. After the war, the company
expanded to manufacture cabinet and utility hardware in 1946. Mr. Witzel died in 1948
and his son Theodore Andrew Witzel Senior (1918-1995) became the President. The
company continued to grow between 1949 and 1960 with the introduction of home
appliance distribution. In 1966, National Union Electric Corporation of Stamford,
Connecticut purchased 80% of the Eureka vacuum cleaner and appliance distribution
division as well as the name Onward Manufacturing Company Limited. T.A. Witzel, Sr.
remained President of Onward Manufacturing Limited until his resignation in 1974. He
retained ownership and was President of Onward Hardware Limited for the
manufacturing and selling of cabinet and general hardware and developed another
Company he owned known as Tawco Limited for commercial cleaning equipment
distribution and franchising coin operated laundry and dry cleaning stores. Vernon's
Directory records suggest that the business operated at 1027 King Street East for
approximately 67 years until 1981. Around that time, Onward Hardware began to
manufacture fireplace inserts and charcoal water smokers and an appliance retail
division (now known as T.A. Appliance Warehouse) was established at 932 Victoria
Street North, Kitchener. T.A. Witzel Senior passed away in 1995 and the company is
now owned and operated by his three sons. The company was divided into three
separate companies in 2000. The barbecue division adopted the original name "Onward
Manufacturing Company Limited", the hardware division became "Onward Cluthe
Hardware Products Inc.", and the appliance division became "TA Appliance Inc." All
three companies continue to operate.
The architects of the 1946 addition to the building at 1027 King Street East were William
Stuart Jenkins and Sherman W. Wright. Jenkins and Wright were best known for their
designs of municipal arena complexes in several Ontario towns and for the restoration
in 1952 of `Woodside' the home of William Lyon Mackenzie King. Jenkins and Wright
were the architects for the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium.
Heritage Attributes
The heritage value of 1027 King Street East resides in the following heritage attributes:
^ All elements related to the construction and Industrial Vernacular architectural style
of the building, including:

Reinhold Boehmer he established the Berlin Brick Co. and engaged in road building.
His son, Charles, a cabinet maker, became associated with Louis Pommer and Mr.
Pommer's brother-in-law, Charles Cowan, an architect, in the Pommer-Cowan Furniture
Co., when the firm was established in 1906. Jacob Baetz Senior purchased the Pommer
and Cowan company and his son, Jacob H. Baetz, joined his brother Charles in the
furniture business in 1908 under the name Baetz Furniture Company. Charles and
Jacob organized the Baetz Brothers Specialty Co. Ltd. in 1916 and later bought half
interest in the Anthes Furniture Co. (later known as the Anthes-Baetz Furniture Co. Ltd.)
in 1920. The Anthes-Baetz Furniture Co. Ltd. operated for 50 years while the Baetz
Furniture Company operated until 1973.
Jacob Baetz Senior built the original portion of the house at 25 Mill Street as well as a
shed for $2100 in 1886. He installed heating in the house for $200 in 1898 and he built
the front verandah and second storey addition with gable roof c. 1910. He resided in the
house until his death in 1920. His wife, Katherine Hoelscher, continued to reside in the
house until her death in 1940.

Works on King Street and the largest shareholder in Erb Glove. He was also in
partnership with C.F. Brown - `Brown & Erb' -one of the finest and most prominent
furniture houses in the country. In the 1860's, Brown & Erb commenced the

Appendix B: Correspondence
ubject: FW' 1.20 Victoria Street South -Municipal Heritage Register
it Mr. Strong.
Belle Wade, Heritage Planner was away from the office today and requested that in her absence I respond to your e-mail.
rou are aware, the property municipally addressed 120 Victoria Street South (Huck Glove) has been identified as a candidate.
fisting on the City's Municipal Heritage Register (as anon-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest). I believe
espondence has been mailed to the owner of the subject property and includes information in support of a recommendation to
:he property on the Municipal Heritage Register.
ng non-designated property on the Municipal Heritage Register is an important step in identifying the City's cultural heritage
7urces. It does not impose restrictions or obligations with regard to .obtaining heritage approvals, meaning property owners do
require a heritage permit or City approval to make alterations. Listing on the Municipal Heritage Register does increase the
punt of time the City has to process demolition applications (up to 60 days), and does have implications in ensuring that the City
insistent with the. Provincial Policy Statement when processing Planning Act applications.
subject property (Huck Glove) is also located immediately adjacent the boundary of the Victoria Street South Mixed Use
ridor. City staff are proceeding with aCity-initiated zone change to apply Mixed Use Corridor zoning to lands located within the
oria Street South Corridor. Correspondence to property owners is expected to be mailed out in January 2010. The zoning will
ride for a broad range of commercial, institutional and residential uses that support transit, are pedestrian oriented, and serve
adjacent residential neighbourhood and employment areas. to preparing the recommended zoning assignments, a thorough
wing evaluation of the Victoria Street South Corridor is being undertaken, This evaluation. includes .gaining an understanding of
aher there are any properties. located within or immediately adjacent the Mixed Use Corridor which are of heritage interest: This
rmation is required in January, so that it can be considered in formulating zoning regulations for the Mixed Use Corridor.
ablishing whether 120 Victoria Street South is of heritage interest to the City, is pertinent to other Planning initiatives which
st move forward through-the planning process. As a result, it remains City staffs preference to schedule consideration of listing
i Victoria Street South at the Heritage Kitchener meeting of January 5, 20:10. City staff would be happy to meet with the property
per of 120 Victoria Street South andlor any representative of the owner at any time to respond to questions or provide
~ification. A staff report recommending several properties be listed on the Municipal Heritage Register (including 120 Victoria
set South) has been prepared and will be circulated. to Heritage Kitchener Committee members next week. Comments received
>r to end of day December 15th can be considered in the staff report. Correspondence received after December 15, 2009 and
>r to January 5, 2010 may not be referenced in the staff report, but vvill be brought to the attention of the Heritage Kitchener
mmittee. The Committee may recommend approval, refusal or may defer the staff recommendation in whole or in part. That
ommendation is then to be considered by City Council As noted in the correspondence. sent to the property owner, delegations
permitted to address the Committee, and such requests should be brought to the attention of pity staff so we may advise the
mmittee Administrator.

Re' 120 Victoria Street South -Municipal Heritase Register-
We acknowledge receipt of Mr. Bensason's correspondence dated the-11th of December 2009
refusing to accede to Huck Glove Company Inc.'s ("Huck Glove")request for a reasonable
extension of time to file submissions and a deferral of the January hearing date before the
Heritage Kitchener Committee. We note that the principal reason for this refusal is that
establishing whether 120 Victoria Street South is of heritage interest to the City is pertinent to
other planning initiatives that must move forward through the planning process.. We reiterate
that Huck Glove takes this process very seriously, and that in all the circumstances by forcing
Huck Gove to proceed simply with such little notice simply to meet the City's preferred
timelines on other planning matters is patently unfair to Huck Glove. We also acknowledge
receipt of your correspondence dated the 14th of December 2009, and confirm that Mr. Huck
would welcome a meeting to discuss this matter with you.
However, given your refusal to-grant an extension of time to make written submissions, and
without restricting in anyway Huck Glove's objections to the fairness of the process, Huck_
Glove makes the following submissions to strongly oppose the listing of its property at 120
Victoria Street South ("the Property") on the Municipal Heritage Register.
Appendix B: Correspondence

Appendix B: Correspondence
Listed Heritage Attributes
The heritage attributes of the Property is stated in Appendix "A" to the 20 November 20091etter
(the "Statement of Signifcance") to be all elements related to the construction and modern
architectural style of the building, including the roof and roofline, rectangular plan, yellow brick
construction, bays separated by shallow buttressing, segmentally arched window openings with
brick voussoirs, stone sills, and sign banding that reads "The Huck Glove Co. Ltd.". Mr. Huck,
the sole proprietor of Huck Glove, has reviewed this list and found much of it to be in error.
1. Approximately half of the roof blew off in a storm in 2007;
2. The yellow brick exists but is deteriorating;
3. The concrete sills.at the base of the bays have been splitting, disintegrating, and are being
replaced as needed;
4. The windows are not original, having been replaced with modern windows;
5. The stone sills have been covered and/or replaced; and
6. The sign banding has changed from overtime, and has since been removed.
We attach far your reference several. pictures showing the Property as it actually exists, not as it
is represented in the Statement of Significance.
Design or Physical Value
When considering the Property's design or physical value, the Property is far from being rare;
unique, or given the changes to it as it has been used over the years, even particularly
representative of the Industrial Vernacular style. There are other buildings in the locale that are
in better condition and are better examples-such as the building at 5 Michael Street-which.
accommodated both the footwear and shirt industry over time. The Property is acknowledged in
the Statement of Significance to be lacking any type of heritage value in terms of its
construction: In terms of its design heritage- elements, particularly in respect of the windows,
sills, and sign banding, -the design, craftsmanship, and details that could make it a heritage
building have been lost over time. It is acknowledged on the Statement of Significance that the
Property lacks a high degree of technical or scientific achievement.

Appendix B: Correspondence
Contextual Value
When considering the property's contextual value, Huck Glove disputes that the Property
contributes to the continuity of character to the street, neighbourhood, or area. Specifically, the
Property is bounded by the City works yards (not a historically significant feature in downtown
.Kitchener), and W & W Liquidators (again, not a historically significant feature in downtown
Kitchener) and otherwise is in an area of.the City that is rapidlyxedeveloping. It is
acknowledged by the Statement of Significance that the setting or orientation of the Property is
not in any way noteworthy and that the Property lacks other original notable landscaping or
external features. The key contextual value element seems to be the sign banding, which has
.changed aver time and has since. been removed.
Inte ri
In terms of the Property's heritage value, the Statement of Significance wrongly describes the
Property as being in good condition. The property would better be described as fair at best. In
places; the mortar work has dried up. As mentioned above, approximately half of the roof blew
off. The yellow brick is crumbling.
The Statement of Significance wrongly describes the Property as having many intact orignndal
elements. The roof has been changed: The chimney has come down. The storage area a
carriage stalls have been removed. The windows and stone windowsills have-been covered
and/or replaced. The front steps have been remodeled from the original and are deteriorating.
The concrete sills at the- base of the bays have been splitting, disintegrating~~ and are being
replaced as needed. The sign banding that read "The Huck Glove Co. Ltd. has changed-.over
time, and has since been removed.
Historic- and Associative Value and Significance
The Statement of Significance wrongly attempts to ascribe to the Property historic and
associative values. Huck Glove is a small business with 10-15 employees. As such, is
intimately familiar with the history of the Property. In its history, the property has only been
incidentally and for a few years associated with the manufacturing of shirts., with the
predominant use being the manufacture and storage of gloves. The Property was never used as a
site for a tannery or fox the manufacture of mattresses. In terms of the manufacture of gloves,
unlike the shirt, footwear, .and furniture industries, there is no particular historic association of
Kitchener with glove making, as Huck Glove has been the only notable glove manufacturer in
Kitchener.

Re. 127 Victoria Street Svuth ~ Municipat Heritage Register
Dear
I am writing in response to your letter dated December 4, 2009 expressing your objections to
listing the property municipally addressed 127 Victoria Street South as anon-designated property
of cultural heritage value or interest on the City's Municipal Heritage Register.
understand that you have plans for future expansion on the property of approximately 8,000
quare-feet of office and retail space. 1 assume that this expansion will not occur within the existing
wilding but rather through an addition to the building.. At minimum, an addition to the building
could require .Site Plan Approval under the Ontario Planning Act. As part of the Site Plan Approval
process, Planning staff are required to comply with the Ontario Planning Act, including the
'rovincial Policy Statement, as well as Regional and Municipal Official Plan policies and by-laws.
)ne policy that is related to our correspondence is the requirement under the .Provincial .Policy
Statement to evaluate development (i.e. an 8,000 square foot addition) and site alteration adjacent
o protected heritage property in' order to ensure that the heritage attributes of protected heritage.
property are conserved. In general, protected heritage property is defined as property designated
ander Part IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act. As.you may. be aware, your property is located
iirectly adjacent to the Victoria Park Heritage Conservation District, which is designated under
'art V of the Ontario Heritage Act. As a result, Heritage Planning staff have the ability to request
he submission of a Heritage Impact Assessment for;any proposed development or site alteration
~n the property.
I understand that you are not in support of the proposal to list the property as anon-designated
property of cultural heritage value or interest on the City's. Municipal Heritage Register if the listing
will restrict your plans for future expansion or complicate the approval process. First, I would like to
advise .you that listing the property- as anon=designated property of cultural heritage value or
interest on the City's Municipal.. Heritage Register does not prevent development. Instead, fisting
ensures that heritage resources and their heritage attributes are conserved. With respect to your
property, a Heritage Impact Assessment would evaluate the impact of proposed development on
your building as welt as the adjacent properties located within the Victoria Park Heritage
Conservation District. Second, I would like #o advise you that the fisting the property as a non-
designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the City's Municipal Heritage Register
will not complicate the approval .process, Listing has two implications: 1. the ability to delay
demolition; and, 2. the ability to request the submission of a Heritage Impact Assessment. As
Appendix B: Correspondence
Hated above, the City has the ability to request the submission of a Heritage impact Assessmer
irrespective of the listing process because the property is located adjacent to the Victoria Par
Heritage Conservation District.
1 would appreciate the opportunity to discuss any other concerns prior to the January 5t" Heritage.
Kitchener Committee meeting.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Michelle Wade, BES

;Victoria Park Heritage Conservation District boundary directly abuts your property along a portion of your interior side yard lot
and your entire rear lot line.
information package that I sent to you included a document called the Statement of Significance. The Statement of
nificance describes the heritage value of the property. The Statement of, Significance was prepared by myself based on the
~ments received from two field team evaluators and the Heritage Kitchener Municipal Heritage. Register Sub-Committee. The
Heritage Kitchener Committee will consider the recommendation to list the property as anon-designated property of cultural
tage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register, including the draft Statement of Significance, on Tuesday, January 5,
0. Here is an excerpt from the draft Statement of Significance that describes the heritage value:
7 Victoria Street South is recognized for its design, physical, historical and associative values.
design and physical values relate to the Industrial Vernacular architectural style that is in good condition, with many intact
final elements. The building features: rectangular plan; red brick construction; .chimney; decorative cornice; shallow buttressing
Neen windows; concrete headers and sills; and, large window openings with Triple 6/6 hung windows.
historic and associative values relate to the original owner, W.-Ervin Woelfle, and the original use. of the building, the IN E.
sloe Shoe Company. The company was founded in 1913 by W.E. Woelfle to manufacture ladies shoes. The company operated
53 years until its closing in -1966. W.E. Woelfle was also an active member of the Waterloo County Health Association, the
'ge, Rotary and St. John's Anglican Church. Washerama bought the building in 1978 and continues to operate at this location. "
n confirm that the City is in the process of re-evaluatingall properties that were listed on the Heritage Kitchener Inventory of
:oric Buildings. This inventory was established in the late 1970s. 127 Victoria Street South was added to this inventory in 1984.
purpose of the current process is to re-evaluate all properties based on a consistent evaluation criteria and to provide an
ortunity for property owner consultation. As a result, as part of this review I can canfirm that other similar properties have- been
rill be evaluated and considered far listing as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest. At the January 5,
0 Heritage Kitchener meeting, the Committee will be considering a number of properties located within the Victoria Street
ith corridor between Oak Street and the railway:
cognize that you have several questions about this process. I would be more than happy to meet and discuss.
ase don't hesitate to contact myself with any further questions.
