TOWNSHIP OF KING DATE: January 22, 2014 TO: FROM: ADDRESS: Heritage Advisory Committee Chelsey Tyers, Planner/ Heritage Coordinator 12900 Keele Street, King City REFERENCE NUMBER: 4-5-6 SUBJECT: Heritage Property Evaluation RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend that the property known as 12900 Keele Street, not be considered for inclusion onto the Heritage Register and that it be removed from the Built Heritage Inventory for the reasons expressed in more detail below. BACKGROUND This dwelling was built in circa 1900 and was added to the Heritage Inventory in 1983. HERITAGE ATTRIBUTES PHYSICAL/DESIGN This dwelling displays a very simple style of architecture with its one-and-a-half storey height, and three bay facade. The decorative wooden front entrance appears to be one of few remaining original architectural elements. Page 3 of 32
HISTORICAL/ASSOCIATIVE VALUE There is no known historical/associative value. CONTEXTUAL VALUE The dwelling contributes to the residential neighbourhood along Keele Street. AREAS OF CONCERN No outstanding concerns. STAFF S EVALUATION OF HERITAGE VALUE The dwelling located at 12900 Keele Street has been modified over the years. The wrap around porch was added and the window openings were enlarged prior to 1983. The north side addition was added between 1983 and 2011. Upon closer evaluation, it appears that the only original element of this dwelling is the front entranceway. Given the alterations over the years and the lack of original architectural elements remaining staff are of the opinion that this property s architectural value is low. Given there is no known historical/associative value to the property, staff are not satisfied that this property meets the criteria under Ontario Regulation 9/06 for determining cultural heritage value. Therefore, staff recommend that this property not be considered for inclusion onto the Township s Heritage Register and that it be removed from the Built Heritage Inventory.

It meets the necessary criteria prescribed by the Province of Ontario in one or more categories of design or physical value, historical value and contextual value. Therefore, staff recommends that it be considered for inclusion onto the Township s Heritage Register. BACKGROUND This dwelling was built in circa 1956 and was added to the Heritage Inventory in 2000. HERITAGE ATTRIBUTES PHYSICAL/DESIGN The Kingcrafts building represents the mid-century modern style of architecture. This is a very unique and rare adaptation of this style in a non-residential use. The sloped roof, façade of windows, mixture of materials field stone and concrete blocks, is representative of the midcentury modern style of architecture that sought to reject the traditional styles of architecture. The clock underneath the peak of the gable roof is a unique and key feature of this building. Page 6 of 32
HISTORICAL/ASSOCIATIVE VALUE Kingcrafts is a non-profit organization committed to promoting crafts in King and the surrounding area and promoting the skill and artistry associated with these crafts. Kingcrafts was founded in 1950 by Lady Muriel L. Flavelle. The Guild originally met in the basement of an Anglican Church. When they outgrew that space, the guild purchased and designed the Kingcrafts building in 1953. The Guild finally moved into the building in 1956. 1 The original groups that met in 1950 included rug hooking, weaving, smocking and leatherwork. A sketching group was added in 1953 and a ceramic and flower arranging group in 1954. The groups have changed and fluctuated according to demand over the years. 2 CONTEXTUAL VALUE While the Kingcrafts building differs greatly from the stock of residential dwellings along Keele Street, its unique architecture has become a landmark in King City. AREAS OF CONCERN No outstanding concerns. STAFF S EVALUATION OF HERITAGE VALUE This is a unique and rare example of mid-century modern architecture in the Township of King. Purchased and designed for the Kingcrafts guild, the building is reflective of the guild s mission to promote creativity through arts and crafts. Not only is the building unique, but the Kingcrafts organization has been part of King City for over 60 years. This property is worthy of recognition under the Ontario Heritage Act for its architectural, historical and contextual value. Staff recommend that it be considered for inclusion onto the Township s Heritage Register.
