  • MONUMENTS to the MOTHERLAND the Lost Gothic Houses of John George Howard (1803-1890)1
    ANALYSIS | ANALYSE MONUMENTS TO THE MOTHERLAND The Lost Gothic Houses of John George Howard (1803-1890)1 JESSICA MACE, Ph.D., is a SSHRC (Social > JESSICA MACE Sciences and Humanities Research Council) postdoctoral fellow in affiliation with the Canada Research Chair in Urban Heritage at the Université du Québec à Montréal. earing the middle of the nineteenth Ncentury, the use of the Gothic Revival style for houses had been a mainstay of architecture in England for almost a hundred years. On the outskirts of the Empire, however, the situation was rather different. In the English colony of Upper Canada (present-day Southern Ontario as it was named from 1791-1841), the only known examples of early Gothic houses are few and appear to have existed in the context of present-day Toronto beginning in the 1830s. None of these homes survives, but all seem to have been designed by one of the province’s first and most prolific architects, John George Howard [1803-1890] (fig. 1). Although Howard designed a variety of Gothic houses, including small labourers’ cot- tages,2 this paper will provide an exam- ination of his designs for the houses of the elite. These homes, in particular, sig- nal an interest in Gothic for associations of prestige, lineage, and the assertion of social standing. Through an examina- tion of a heretofore unexplored aspect of Howard’s multi-faceted career (including new attributions), this article will reveal Howard’s ability to keep abreast of con- temporary architectural developments in England and to produce fashionable homes with desirable associations.
