Braclyn House | |
|
This house is an excellent example of the large family farmhouse constructed of locally quarried limestone in the 1850-1870 period. Built in 1858, the house maintains its original structure, sidelights and leaded glass windows. The home displays fine craftsmanship and strong Classical Revival features with its central gable pediment, rectangular transoms and open porch supported by simple columns. |
Patrick Waters House | |
|
Patrick Waters, an Irish immigrant, built this house in approximately 1885. The Waters were a well-known farming family and built this stone structure to replace an earlier log home. Reflecting both earlier and later periods of rural Ontario architecture, this house was constructed of stone believed to have been quarried from Larkin Farm, in what is now Barrhaven. |
Casa Loma | |
|
This stately home was originally built in 1911 for Harry Southam but was reconstructed in 1944 following a damaging fire. Originally designed by architect Allan Keefer and later by A.J. Hazelgrove, this house is a dignified version of the Queen Anne Revival style, characterized by the use of red brick, distinctive stone mullions and parapet gables. |
S. S. NO. 1 | |
|
This stone structure was constructed in 1886 and served as a one-room schoolhouse until 1963. With its rectangular design and evenly spaced windows, this building is an excellent example of the typical style of schoolhouse built throughout Ontario in the second half of the 19th century. The old schoolhouse features its original datestone, distinctive stone quoining, and small bell tower. |
Gamman House | |
|
Constructed in the mid-1800s by Nathaniel Gamman, this house dates to the founding of the current neighbourhood and reflects the development of the working class along Montreal Road in the early evolution of Vanier. The house is a fine example of the Second Empire architectural style with its mansard roof and decorative wood features. |
Heritage Canada Foundation Building | |
|
Constructed in 1905, this building is an excellent example of the type of house built in Sandy Hill as it developed into an upper-class residential area. The Queen Anne Revival style is reflected in its decorative brickwork, classical porches, and the variety of materials and window treatments. The brick carriage house matches the style of the main house. |
Alphonse Rochon House | |
|
This house was constructed in 1898 for Alphonse Rochon, who with his father was responsible for much of the wood carving on the interior of Notre Dame Cathedral. Rochon applied his skills to his own house, and designed the elaborately carved two-storey porch that distinguishes this house. The current porch is an exact replica of the original. |
