BY-LAW 10-1992 SCHEDULE "A" The building at 1094 Lakeshore Road was an operational pumphouse for the then Village of Burlington from March 3, 1910 to approximately February, 1936. This facility was the first water pumping station for the Town of Burlington remained operational until 1935. The building is a one storey above grade/one storey below grade, solid brick with concrete foundation structure. The building area is 22' 6" x 32' 6". The roof is hipped, with timber rafters and ceiling joists on truss beams, having wide overhangs of 4' O". The building was designed by Willis Chipman, Civil and Sanitary Engineer of Toronto, and built be E. Williamson of Burlington in 1909. In the early 1900's the trend was toward municipal waterworks buildings which portrayed a return to large scale classical detailing, bordering on the Beaux Arts. This attention to detail in the design of the building indicates the importance the engineering community placed on the structures housing the new technology of the time. This structure reflects the emergence of this new technology in the Village of Burlington, a technology which enabled the expansion of the community. The exterior walls are of solid brick with pilasters either side of round arched windows and doors. The pattered arches extend in a band course around the building and the walls are crowned with a simple deep wood fascia with crown mold. Two brick chimneys with corbelled caps rise above the hip roof. The roof is of slate with galvanized iron gutters and the ridge is crowned with a decorative iron cresting. 9

BY-LAW NUMBER 8-1995 SCHEDULE "A-1" REASONS FOR DESIGNATION 5772 GUELPH LINE Built between 1890 and 1900 for John Readhead, the owner of a sawmill in Lowville, this large cross-gabled brick strncture in late Victorian vernacular style has decorative "gingerbread" bargeboards in the front and side gables. The original windows with cutout decorative trim and rough-relief brick voussoirs have been preserved. The setting of this property at Lowville Heights makes a strong contribution to the heritage character of Lowville, especially in relation to the neighbouring designated structures on the historic Guelph Line. 13
BY-LAW NUMBER 8-1995 SCHEDULE "A-2" REASONS FOR DESIGNATION 6042 GUELPH LINE Built in 1872 for Thomas Colling, one of the sons of Joseph Colling, who had immigrated to Lowville in 1819, raised his family there, and gradually acquired the farmland known as the Colling Block. The property remained a mixed farm in the Colling-Coulson family for almost a century, and the large brick house with many gables has been owned and maintained by them for more than 120 years Its arched windows with tear-drop tracery are almost unique in Burlington. The front entrance with transom, sidelights, and original panelled door, is recessed with excellent wood panelling which is repeated in the interior. The location of the house at Lowville Heights makes it a strong asset to the heritage character of Lowville, especially in relation to neighbouring designated structures, the former Wesleyan Church and Manse, both on land donated by the Colling family, on the historic Guelph Line. 14
BY-LAW NUMBER 8-1995 SCHEDULE "A-3" REASONS FOR DESIGNATION 2411 LAKESHORE ROAD Originally owned by the Thomas Hiram Alton family, this building contributes to the character of the Lakeshore streetscape, as well as all of Burlington. The building is one of two such ornate and well preserved Queen A1J11e style homes in Burlington. When built, one could look out the windows to the busy, bustling Port Nelson with its many ships waiting to pick up products. The facade is exceptional with the gabled porch with its <lentil and dowel cornice, ornate sun motif, columns and balustrade with turned members. The gables and dormers with bisecting chimneys have <lentil wood shingles and wide wooden cornices. All building openings have plain wide wood trim. The bay window with its fluted frieze and ornate brackets add style to the plain windows below. The oak front doors has an attractive arrangement of leaded and etched glass windows. 15
BY-LAW NUMBER 8-1995 SCHEDULE "A-4" REASONS FOR DESIGNATION 3077 LAKESHORE ROAD This home is an outstanding example of a Craftsman Style bungalow, with stucco, natural uncut fieldstone and cedar shingled constrnction, in almost original condition. The home boasts a large central peaked gable with two sets of three, nine-paned windows. Fieldstone chimneys are also original, along with the full width front porch decorated with exposed rafter tails. The sunroom has many six over one and nine over one windows which are typical of the other elevations as well. Wood trim brackets are the only decorative additions on the gable ends. Concrete front steps from the street lead up to a well landscaped lot with mature trees. The home was built in 1910 in W.D. Flatt's Pine Cove Survey for Rober Morley Hoose and sold in 1920 to Lt. Col. Lionel H. Miller. Located across from Flatt's own Craftsman style home, the former Lakeshurst Villa and next to other houses featured in Flatt's Lake Shore Surveys Development, this property makes a strong contribution to the Heritage Streetscape of Lakeshore Road. 16
BY-LAW NUMBER 8-1995 SCHEDULE "A-5" REASONS FOR DESIGNATION 2349 LAKESHORE ROAD Built in 1881 for Benjamin Johnson and his wife Hannah, in a vernacular farmhouse style. The cross-gabled brick structure with a T-plan and a large kitchen wing at the rear is nearly symmetrical, but oriented towards Green Street. The corners have reliefed brick quoins, not often seen on heritage homes in Burlington. The arched windows are original, and it is plam1ed to restore the lost arched shutters. The property was inherited from Hamiah Johnson's father George Nelson Will, whose widow Eliza lived here until 1887. Unspoiled by later alterations and located in the midst of the historic houses of Green Street and Lakeshore Road, this house makes a very strong contribution to the heritage district of old Village of Port Nelson. 17

SCHEDULE A Description and Reasons for Designation: 6201 Walker s Line Legal Description: Concession 5 NS Part Lot 7 RP 20R-7789 Part 1 & 2 (municipally known as 6201 Walker s Line, City of Burlington, and Regional Municipality of Halton) Description of Property: The property consists of a two storey red brick structure (Suggested Name: The John Readhead Senior House) with a two storey red brick rear wing ( L-shaped floor plan), constructed in 1894. The property is located on the east side of Walker s Line and north of Britannia Road in Burlington. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: The John Readhead Senior House has significant physical or design, historical or associative, and contextual values: Physical / Design Value The John Readhead Senior House is a very good example of a Victorian vernacular farmhouse. This two storey red brick structure has an L-shaped floor plan with a two storey red brick rear wing. The façade has a low-pitched gable and a steeply-pitched gable. Most of the window openings are segmentally arched with brick voussoirs, wood surrounds, and sills. The steeply pitched gable features an arched window opening with brick voussoirs, wooden hoodmould, and sill. The south elevation has a projecting 29
rectangular bay window with brackets, and window openings on each of the three sides. The house shows a high degree of craftsmanship that can be seen in the bargeboard with a pattern of lines and circles in the low-pitched gable on the façade and south elevation, the intricate relief bargeboard with a sunburst pattern in the steeply-pitched gable, and the wooden window surrounds with diamond and fine vine motif. The house is constructed with stone foundation that punctuated by segmentally arched basement windows on the north and south elevations. Historical / Associative Value The John Readhead Senior House is associated with the prominent local Readhead Family. In 1881, the subject property was purchased by John Readhead Sr. from John Mathieson and his wife (who had purchased it from John J.C. McGregor). The house was built shortly after in 1894. John Readhead Sr. settled in the Township of Nelson in 1868. He was a farmer, and also worked in the lumber trade. Most notably, he owned the Lowville sawmill that burned in 1890, but was rebuilt. John Readhead Sr. was very active in the community; he was a member of the Nelson Township Council from 1879 to1882, and the secretary / treasurer for S.S. #9 Lowville School for 21 years. In 1902, Readhead Sr. sold the property to his eldest son Charles. However, Charles likely did not live here as he farmed the adjacent property. Charles, like his father, was involved in municipal politics as a Township Councillor for 16 years (2 years of which were spent as Deputy Reeve, 6 years as Reeve, and 8 years as County Councillor) and was elected Halton County Warden in 1917. Charles was also active with the Nelson School Board for 14 years prior to the amalgamation of the Nelson and Burlington school boards. Contextual Value The John Readhead Senior House is a farmhouse on a large property. This property contributes to the rural and scenic character of Walker s Line. The property is historically linked to its surroundings as the nearby 6059 Walkers Line was also owned by the Readhead Family. Cultural Heritage Attributes Contextual relationship of the property and the farmhouse to the surroundings and in the rural and scenic character of Walker s line; Historical relationship of the property and the farmhouse to the Readhead Family; Two storey red brick structure; L-shaped floor plan with a two storey red brick rear wing; Façade features a low-pitched gable and a steeply-pitched gable; Low-pitched gable with bargeboard of a pattern of lines and circles; Steeply-pitched gable with intricate relief bargeboard of a sunburst pattern; Three segmentally arched window openings (two on the first storey and one on the second storey) on façade with brick voussoirs and sills, under the low-pitched gable; An arched window opening with brick voussoirs, a wooden hoodmould, and sill under the steeply-pitched gable; 30
