339 Pleasant Park Road
Ward 18 – Councillor Peter Hume

This house marks a departure from conventional suburban house designs of the 1950s and 1960s, revealing the influence of Modernist design through its low, concrete block structure, U-shaped plan and strong, horizontal emphasis. Designed in Ottawa by innovative local architect, James W. Strutt, the interior, which retains its original 1960s features, is also designated. 

The Former Osgoode Township Hall
8243 Victoria Street
Ward 20 – Councillor Doug Thompson

Designed by Ottawa architect John Mather in 1891, this building is an excellent example of a brick, classically-inspired township hall. It has served as a focus of community activity and pride since its construction. The former hall is handsomely decorated with a classical pediment over the entry bay, a bell tower, a round-arched transom window and brick label moulds on the large segmental arched windows. 

Plant Bath
130 Preston Street
Ward 14- Councillor Diane Holmes

The Plant Bath, opened in 1924, was one of two pools constructed by the City of Ottawa in the 1920s to offer recreational opportunities in lower income neighbourhoods. Designed by Millson, Burgess and Hazelgrove, the original Neo-Gothic, red brick structure features stone details, including a bas-relief and large windows. From 2001-2004, the original building was renovated and a new pool added to the rear. 

Merivale United Church and Cemetery
1876 Merivale Road
Ward 3 – Councillor Jan Harder

Built in 1876 as the Merivale Presbyterian Church, this building is a fine example of a rural community church. Constructed of red brick with pointed-arch windows, white brick quoins, and a rectangular tower topped with four pinnacles, the Church continues to play an active role in the Merivale community. There is a cemetery associated with the church, containing many early gravestones. The church and cemetery are important local landmarks. 

St. John’s Merivale Anglican Cemetery
Near 1876 Merivale Road
Ward 3 – Councillor Jan Harder

St. John’s Anglican Church and Cemetery were consecrated in 1874 and officially deeded to the Corporate Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Ontario in 1876 by William and Jane Hopper. The cemetery was in use for many years before it was deeded to the Anglican Diocese, the first burial being John Bell in 1847. While the cemetery remains today, the original St. John’s Anglican Church was demolished in 1968 after the congregation’s move to St. John the Divine Church on Slack Road. The cemetery continues to be operated by the congregation of St. John the Divine Church in south Nepean. 

108 Acacia Avenue, Rockcliffe Park
Ward 13 – Councillor Jacques Legendre

A well-known community landmark, this house was one of the first substantial brick houses constructed in Rockcliffe Park. Completed in 1908, this early design of architect Francis C. Sullivan, is a conservative, classically-inspired residence featuring large bay windows, pedimented dormers, a bracketed cornice, and an outstanding two-storey porch supported by Corinthian columns. 

The Former St. Augustine’s Church
100 Huxley Street, West Carleton
Ward 5 – Councillor Eli El-Chantiry

Designed by architect John W.H. Watts and completed in 1902, St. Augustine’s served the Anglicans of Galetta for 92 years and is an important component of the streetscape. The former church illustrates the popular Gothic Revival style with its steeply pitched roof, bell-cote over the southeast bay and pointed-arch windows. It has been sympathetically altered into a private home. 

5029 Dunrobin Road, West Carleton
Ward 5 – Councillor Eli El-Chantiry

Pinhey Cottage, constructed of hand-hewn logs with notched corners, is an early example of the type of dwelling associated with the pioneer era in the Ottawa Valley. Built by Captain James Grierson of the Royal Navy in the mid-1820s, the log cabin is now used by Camp Woolsey Girl Guide camp. The house was named in honour of Anna Pinhey who donated money for its restoration in the 1930s.
