REASON FOR DESIGNATION
The house on Lots 3 and 4, Registered Plan 21, was built in 1860 in the Victorian
Gothic" design with a central gable. In 1876, the house was added to and bricked
probably with bricks from the (~nerr!rwood Brick Factory which was active at that time.
There are only two brick houses in the hamlet of Whitevale, of which the subject house
is one, pointing to the possibility that both were owned by m~rs of the upper-
middle class amd both are fine exa~nples of such houses.
The brickwork is of the era with particularly interesting contrasting coloured brick
decoration over the windows and doors. The chapel window in the main peak is also a
fine example of the design of the era. A wraparound porch also pointed to a more sol-
vent community member. The roof, originally wooden shingles, then tin and finally
asphalt shingles, has been replaced with the type of wooden shingles that originally
were on the roof.
Being part of Whitevale from 1860, the subject house contributes to the 19th century
streetscape and demonstrates the evolution of house styles from early French Canadian
to early Victorian. Whitevale is an outstanding example of a 19th century rural
Ontario village, remarkably picturesque in its setting, with a substantial number of
its original buildings, contributing to its appearance.
