1. Executive Summary Parslow Heritage Consultancy, Inc. (PHC) was retained by CSSA Properties Inc. (the Proponent) to prepare a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the property at 247 West Street, Brantford, Ontario. This HIA has been The Proponent is preparing an Official Plan and Zoning Amendment application as part of a Site Plan Approval to the City of Brantford for the redevelopment of the property located on part of Lots 18 and 19, Plan 246, Township of Brantford East, now City of Brantford, County of Brant, Ontario. The extant structure at 247 West Street is currently identified as a listed structure on the City of Brantford’s Heritage Inventory.

This HIA has been prepared at the request of the City of Brantford’s Planning Department and is designed to meet the scope of work stipulated in the City of Brantford’s Official Plan (City of Brantford 2020).

The purpose of this assessment is to review relevant historical documents, evaluate the potential cultural heritage value or interest, identify cultural heritage resources and assess potential impacts, and recommend mitigation options, if necessary. To evaluate potential cultural heritage value or interest and recommend mitigation options, provisions in the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) under Regulation 9/06 and the Planning Act (1990) were applied.

A site visit was conducted on September 8, 2020 to document the property, structure, and surrounding landscape. After review of the proposed development plan, it is determined that the proposed re-development would require the demolition of the extant structure.

The two storey residence located at 247 West Street, Brantford, Ontario is characteristic of the 20th century development of the area. The residence at 247 West Street is constructed in the Edwardian Classicism architectural style typical of the early to mid-20th century. The property has undergone modifications since construction, resulting in the loss of original character-defining elements.

Currently the exterior of 247 West Street presents as a fair example of the Edwardian Classicism architectural style. The overall massing of the structure is intact; the red brick façade of the residence is constructed of smooth brick laid in a modified Flemish stretcher bond. The interior of the structure has been converted into apartment units, resulting in alteration to the original floorplan and damage to the interior millwork. The original veranda and main entrance have been lost and the current veranda and associated half pillars and brick pedestals are of recent construction. While the original main staircase and first floor fireplace remain, the overall composition of the structure has been lost.

When 247 West Street is evaluated against the criteria set forth to identify Cultural Heritage Value or Interest in Ontario Regulation 9/06 (Section 7.3), the property is found to not meet the criteria. The extant structure should be removed from the City of Brantford Heritage Inventory; it is recommended demolition be permitted to allow for the construction of the proposed apartment complex.

3. Introduction Parslow Heritage Consultancy, Inc. (PHC) was retained by CSSA Properties Inc. (the Proponent) to prepare a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the property at 247 West Street, Brantford, Ontario. This HIA has been The Proponent is preparing an Official Plan and Zoning Amendment application as part of a Site Plan Approval to the City of Brantford for the redevelopment of the property located on part of Lots 17 and 18, Plan 246, Township of Brantford East , now City of Brantford, County of Brant, Ontario. The extant structure at 247 West Street is currently identified as a listed structure on the City of Brantford’s Heritage Inventory.

This HIA has been prepared at the request of the City of Brantford’s Planning Department and is designed to meet the scope of work stipulated in the City of Brantford’s Official Plan (City of Brantford 2020).

The purpose of this assessment is to review relevant historical documents, evaluate the potential cultural heritage value or interest, identify cultural heritage resources and assess potential impacts, and recommend mitigation options, if necessary. To evaluate potential cultural heritage value or interest and recommend mitigation options, provisions in the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) under Regulation 9/06 and the Planning Act (1990) were applied.

A site visit was conducted on September 8, 2020 to document the property, structure, and surrounding landscape.

3.1 Site Description and Context The subject property is situated on Part of Lots 17 and 18, Plan 246, in the former Town of Brantford, now City of Brantford, County of Brant, Ontario. The property is currently identified as 247 West Street and is located on the east side of West Street. The subject property is approximately 0.3 acre (ac.) in size and contains a single residential structure constructed in the Edwardian Classicism architectural style, popular in the early 20th century (circa 1900-1930).

247 West Street was constructed as a detached single-family residential unit but has been subdivided into four apartment units. This conversion has resulted in substantial alterations to both interior of the structure and moderate alterations to the exterior.

4.2 Municipal Policy Framework

4.2.1 City of Brantford Official Plan (consolidated 2020) Section 9 of the City of Brantford Official Plan describes policies relating to development on or adjacent to heritage properties, with its policies mirroring those of the Ontario Heritage Act Regulation 9/06. Section 9.1.10 of the Brantford Official Plan addresses the requirements of an HIA:

Applications for development of a property designated under the terms and conditions of the Ontario Heritage Act will be required to include a Heritage Impact Statement prepared by a qualified heritage conservation professional. A Heritage Impact Statement may also be required on a property that is listed in the City’s Heritage Inventory or where development is proposed adjacent to a known heritage resource. The requirement may also apply to unknown or recorded heritage resources that are discovered during the development application stage or construction. A Heritage Impact Statement is a study to determine the impacts to known and potential heritage resources within a defined area. The study results in a report which identifies all known heritage resources, provides a detailed site history and physical description of the heritage resource, photo-documents the as-found interior and exterior of the resource; evaluates the significance of the resource(s); outlines the proposed development; assesses the impact of the proposal on the resources(s) and makes recommendations toward mitigative measures that would minimize negative impacts

5. Historical Research and Analysis 5.1 Regional Overview

5.1.1 Town of Brantford The area that is now within the city limits of Brantford was part the traditional lands of the Mississaugas, a sub-tribe of the Anishinaabe people and the Six Nations Confederacy.

The historic record pertaining to what is now the City of Brantford began in1784, when led a group of primarily Mohawk, as well as other Indigenous persons loyal to the British Crown, to the tract of land on the Grand River that was granted to them in acknowledgement of their loyalty to the British Crown during the American Revolution. Joseph Brant and his followers settled at the banks of the Grand River at a point where conditions permitted the crossing of the wide river. These crossing points are known as fords, and where Brant settled became known as Brant’s Ford. Over the years the name evolved and became Brantford. The Town of Brantford historically grew from a small settlement, circa 1820s, as the road between Hamilton and London was continuously improved. According to the History of the County of Brant by F. Douglas Reville (1920), the first land survey of the Town of Brantford was conducted in 1829 by Lewis Burwell; Reville indicates that Burwell’s survey is not the first historic account of the lands that would become the City of Brantford. Burwell’s own records apparently references an earlier rendering of the area produced by a Joseph Reid dated 1824 (Reville 1920:87) Unfortunately it appears Reid’s original depiction has been lost and as such the first survey of the Town of Brantford is attributed to Lewis Burwell. In 1830 Burwell produced a second map of the area which depicted distinct blocks: Public Square, County Court House, Market, Kirk of Scotland, and Burying Ground. In 1840 Brantford was incorporated as a town. River navigation to Brantford began after 1848, increasing the population of the area; population of the area increased again with the arrival of the railway in 1854. Due to the proximity of the town to the Grand River, a major transportation route, as well as the construction of new roads, several major manufacturing companies started operations in Brantford in the 1860s and 1870s; these included Cockshutt and Harris, Britannia Foundry and Brantford Engine Works. The Subject Property is situated within the boundaries of the Burwell survey, originally located on the northern limits of the Town of Brantford. The Subject Property is now part of Ward 4 and is situated in the southwest corner of the Ward placing it at the junction of Wards 2, 3, 4 and 5.

5.2 Subject Property The Subject Property located on Lots 17 and 18 of Plan 246 first enters the historic record in 1859 when James Beel receives the Crown patent for a five acre property on the northwest limits of the Town of Brantford. The five-acre property acquired by Beel is initially recorded in the land records as Lot “C” west of the Wilkes Tract. In April of 1912 Robert L. Nelles severs three lots (Lots 17, 18 and 19) from his five acre property (Lot C). The newly created lots are sold to Carrie and Donald Throburn. Following a series of rapid transactions Lot 17 is acquired in June of 1913 by John Dyckman. Dyckman owns the property until May of 1933. Based on Dyckman’s tenure and available mapping it is likely that John Dyckman is who commissioned the home that currently

stands at 247 West Street. Land transactions associated with the Subject Property do not depict the property as being part of Lots 17 and 18 until 1986.

Records on file with the Brantford Historical Society indicate that 247 West Street has been used as a rental property for much of its existence. Starting in 1953 and ending in 1988, records indicate that in addition to the listed owners at least one other person declared 247 West Street as their place of residence. Brantford Historical Society records further indicate that the conversion to the current configuration of multiple rental units occurred in 1989, as beginning in that year up to five individuals list 247 West Street as their place of residence and none of the names correspond to the listed owners.

6. Assessment of Existing Conditions 6.1 Architecture and Design

6.1.1 Edwardian Classicism Residential Structure Exterior 247 West Street is constructed in the Edwardian Classicism architectural style, a style that was popular in North America between c.1900 and c.1930 (Blumenson 1989). The residential structure is two storeys in height, constructed of smooth red brick laid in a modified Flemish stretcher bond pattern and set upon a poured concrete foundation with applied ashlar block finish (Image 1). The residence displays a hip roof with large, open front gable. The residence displays a rectangular plan with short façade presenting to West Street. The residence is identifiable as Edwardian Classicism architecture by way of the character-defining, monochromatic smooth brick exterior, tall undecorated chimney, use of multiple dormers, use of stone details (in this example oversized stone lintels are utilized at structural openings – Image 5, Image 8), use of half columns with brick pedestals, and simplified, yet formal overall massing (Blumenson 1989). The exterior of the home presents largely as built but has been subject to modification, the most notable being the truncation of the front veranda. The ghost outline of the original veranda and associated second floor balcony are clearly evident on the front façade (Image 2). The main entrance to the home has also been altered, resulting in the loss of the original front door (Image 8). The original wood windows have also been subject to revision with several having been replaced with modern vinyl replacements. The structure utilizes wooden lug sills, some of which have been caped in aluminum flashing. The rear of the structure exhibits several modifications including the addition of a large shed dormer and associated fire escape, the removal of two chimneys and the addition of a shed roofed rear wing (Image 6). While largely intact, the exterior of the structure displays signs of prolonged neglect resulting in indicators of degradation to the underlying structure. Exposed wood is visible across the exterior and discolouration of the surface finishes are indicative of water damage (Images 3, 11). The roof of the structure is clad in modern asphalt shingles that display signs of fatigue.

Interior The interior of 247 West Street has been extensively altered, transforming it from a single-family residence to a multi-unit apartment complex. The conversion to multi-unit apartment complex has result in extensive modification to the original floorplan and the loss of interior finishes. Basement The basement of the structure contains the communal laundry room, a storage area for the first floor apartment, a washroom and the utility room containing the structure’s hot water heater and furnace. The ceilings are six feet in height and where unfinished expose the construction for the first floor. Exposed floor joists are constructed of circular sawn 2”x 9 ½” material laid 16” on center. The subfloor is comprised of tongue and grove material that is 3 ½” in width and laid perpendicular to the joists (Image 13).

Main Floor The main floor is comprised of the main entrance with original staircase and a single apartment unit.

The main staircase is constructed of oak and reflects the craftsman style common to Edwardian residences (Image 17). The staircase exhibits an attention to detail indicative of the interior of Edwardian period homes. The craftsman style is evident in the remaining original window trim which are adorned with “cabinet head” style millwork indicative of the craftsman style and characteristic of Edwardian homes.

The main floor apartment unit contains portions of the home’s original trim and some original doors (Images 18 to 21). The most notable feature of the first-floor apartment is the presence of an original fireplace mantel complete with original glazed tile surround (Image 19). The fireplace is character-defining of the Edwardian architectural style. Original narrow plank wood floors are also visible in the first-floor apartment (Image 22).

Second Floor The second floor has been converted to a single apartment unit. The apartment makes use of much of the original floorplan. This is apparent by the presence of intact baseboard and window trim. Original panel doors also remain on the closets. The subdivision of the home has altered the original egress to the second floor. The remnants of a second rear staircase are present but is no longer functional as much of the staircase has been removed (Image 26).

The trim on the second floor is of the same cabinet head design as that found on the first floor (Image 23, Image 24). The remaining original doors are of a two-panel design and some retain their original doorknobs and hinges.

Attic The attic of 247 West Street has been converted into an apartment unit. The conversion of the attic space necessitated the addition of the large shed dormer to the rear of the home. The dormer houses the kitchen unit and bathroom for the attic apartment. As the attic was never intended as living space the attic apartment does not display any elements original to the Edwardian residence.

6.2 Current Condition 247 West Street

6.2.1 Edwardian residence 247 West Street is an example of a residential structure constructed in the Edwardian Classicism architectural style that was popular in the early 20th Century, circa 1900-1930 (Blumenson, 1989). Overall, the residence represents a fair example of the Edwardian Classicism architectural style. The physical massing of the residence remains, but the exterior of residence has been exposed to prolonged neglect resulting in visible degradation of the underlying wood. The very nature of the Edwardian Classicism style is minimalistic; as such, the loss of elements such as the front original veranda and entrance way detract from the overall style and intent of the building. This is in contrast to other architectural styles, where the lost of a few attributes is less detrimental to the overall character of the structure.

6.2.2 Surrounding Landscape 247 West Street is situated on a large city lot. The residence is situated well forward on the lot providing for an extensive back yard. The forward lot position coupled with the widening of West Street has impacted the overall aesthetic of the property. 247 West street is situated at the confluence of two thoroughfares of Brantford. The surrounding infrastructure is comprised of a mix of residential and commercial properties.

7. Evaluation of Cultural Heritage Value and Interest 7.1 Description of the Property The Subject Property is situated on the east side of West Street, City of Brantford, Ontario. 247 West Street is located in a distinctive triangular segment of land bound by West Street to the West, Clarence Street to the East and Dundas Street East to the south. The Subject Property is located 1.2 kilometers north of downtown Brantford.

The property is municipality identified as part of Lot 17 and 18, Plan 246, Township of Brantford East, County of Brant, now City of Brantford, County of Brant, Ontario. (Ontario Land Registry 2020).

The Subject Property is 0.31 ac. in size and contains a single residential structure constructed in the Edwardian Classicism architectural style, popular in the early 20th century. The extant home is situated on the western edge of the property, providing for an ample back yard that slops quickly down to the east.

247 West Street is currently listed on the City of Brantford’s Heritage Inventory.

7.2 Heritage Attributes Heritage attributes observed during the site visit for the interior and exterior of the residence include the following features:

Exterior ► Massing of residential structure ► Oversized stone lintels ► Smooth brick façade ► Use of half columns with brick pillars Interior ► Intact original staircase ► Limited baseboard and door trim ► Some original doors Property as a Whole ► Massing of structure

7.3 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value or Interest Ontario Regulation 9/06 prescribes the criteria for determining the Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) of a property in a municipality. The regulation requires that, to be designated, a property must meet “one or more” of the criteria grouped into the categories of Design/Physical Value, Historical/ Associative Value and Contextual Value (MHSTCI 2006a). Table 2 lists these criteria and identifies which criteria are met by 247 West Street.

7.3.1 Physical or Design Value The residence located at 247 West Street is a fair example of a common architectural style prevalent in the first half of the 20th century. The rectangular plan of the structure in association with the use of oversized stone lintels, smooth brick finish, multiple dormers, half columns with brick pedestals, type and placement of windows coupled with the large undecorated chimney are indicative of Edwardian Classicism architecture. The ghosted outline of the full width veranda and associated second floor balcony are conducive to the Edwardian Classicism style. Overall, the home is in fair condition and has been subject to modifications that has removed character defining attributes. The front veranda had been truncated and while the half pillars with brick pedestals are in keeping with the architectural style, they are non-original. The main entrance has also been replaced with a modern six panel steel door. The interior of the structure has been modified to accommodate the conversion of the structure from its as-built configuration as a single-family home to its current condition as a multi-unit apartment building. The modifications to accommodate its current use have impacted the original floorplan and resulted in the removal of much of the original millwork.

7.3.2 Associative or Historical Value 247 West Street is an example of urban growth and the use of popular architecture in the early 20th century. Given that the Edwardian Classicism style is attributed to circa 1900-1930, the structure’s likely construction date of c.1915 place the construction at the height of the style’s popularity and as such, 247 West Street represents one of many residential structures in the City of Brantford constructed in the Edwardian Classicism architectural style.

7.3.3 Contextual Value 247 West Street presents as a fair example of a common residential architectural style popular in the early 20th century. Archival research has not produced any evidence that would indicate the structure was ever owned, occupied or involved in any historically significant events that are of cultural value to the City of Brantford or surrounding township.

7.4 Statement of Significance The property is currently listed on the City of Brantford’s Heritage Inventory and represents an example of the architectural style known as Edwardian Classicism. As stated in Blumenson, Edwardian Classicism was a response “to the highly colouristic, complicated and often eclectic composition of the late nineteenth century” (Blumenson, 1989: 166). The style is simplistic and elegant in comparison and aimed to exhibit a lighter and more open interior space than its predecessors.

Currently the exterior of 247 West Street presents as a fair example of the Edwardian Classicism architectural style. The overall massing of the structure is intact; the red brick façade of the residence is constructed of smooth brick laid in a modified Flemish stretcher bond. The interior of the structure has been converted into apartment units, resulting in alteration to the original floorplan and damage to the interior millwork. The original veranda and main entrance have been lost and the current veranda and associated half pillars and brick pedestals are of recent construction. While the original main staircase and first floor fireplace remain, the overall composition of the structure has been lost.

8. Heritage Impact Assessment The proposed development plan requires the demolition of 247 West Street, City of Brantford, Ontario. At the current time the property is not designated under the Ontario Heritage Act but is listed on the City of Brantford Heritage Inventory. A review of the City of Brantford Heritage Inventory indicates the property is not within or adjacent to a designated Heritage Conservation District (HCD) but is adjacent to another listed property located at 253 West Street.

8.1 Description of Proposed Development The Subject Property 0.31 ac. in size and currently contains a single, two storey residential structure that has been subdivided into rental units. The proposed development plan is to increase the residential density of the property by way of construction of a new multi-level apartment complex.

The proposed development plan calls for the construction of an eight storey apartment complex containing 70 residential units consisting of 21 one-bedroom units and 49 two-bedroom units (Appendix A). The proposed development would be similar in size and style to that currently located at 258 West Street. The proposed development would increase urban density in the area and aid the City of Brantford in meeting its 2014-2024 Housing Stability Plan (Brantford 2014).

As illustrated in Appendix A, the proposed development would require the demolition of 247 West street.

The MHSTCI Info Sheet #5 Heritage Impact Assessments and Conservation Plans were reviewed to further assess seven potential negative impacts on the property’s Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) arising from the proposed site re-development (MHSTCI 2006b):

Destruction of any, or part of any, significant heritage attributes or features. • The proposed redevelopment would result in the demolition of the character defining attributes associated with 247 West Street as listed in section 7.2. But as the structure does not meet the requirements of Ontario Regulation 9/06, the demolition of the structure would not impact the CHVI of the property.

Alteration that is not sympathetic, or incompatible, with the historic fabric and appearance. • Not applicable, property does not meet the requirements of Ontario Regulation 9/06.

Shadows created that alter the viability of a heritage attribute or an associated natural feature or plantings, such as a garden. • Not applicable, property does not meet the requirements of Ontario Regulation 9/06.

Isolation of a heritage attribute from its surrounding environment, context or a significant relationship. • Not applicable, property does not meet the requirements of Ontario Regulation 9/06.

Heritage Impact Assessment, 247 West Street, Part of Lots 17 and 18, Plan 246, Town of Brantford, Township of Brantford East, now City of Brantford, County of Brant, Ontario

Direct or indirect obstruction of significant views or vistas within, from or of built and natural features. • Not applicable, property does not meet the requirements of Ontario Regulation 9/06.

A change in land use where the change in use may impact the property’s cultural heritage value or interest. • Any alterations that results in subsurface disturbance could result in impacts to yet unidentified subsurface features of cultural heritage value or interest.

Land disturbances such as a change in grade that alters soils and drainage patterns that may adversely affect archaeological or cultural heritage resources. • Land disturbances related to proposed alterations have the potential to adversely affect as yet unidentified subsurface resources that may be of cultural heritage value or interest.

8.2 Proposed Mitigation As 247 West Street does not meet the requirements for cultural heritage value or interest as outlined in Ontario Regulation 9/06 no mitigation is necessary.

8.3 Conclusion As 247 West Street does not meet the criteria for cultural heritage value or interest as outlined in Ontario Regulation 9/06 the extant structure should be removed from the City of Brantford Heritage Inventory; it is recommended demolition be permitted to allow for the construction of the proposed apartment complex.

Heritage Impact Assessment, 247 West Street, Part of Lots 17 and 18, Plan 246, Town of Brantford, Township of Brantford East, now City of Brantford, County of Brant, Ontario

9. Recommendations Further to Section 7, 247 West street does not meet the cultural heritage value or interest criteria set forth in Ontario Regulation 9/06. The extant structure should be removed from the City of Brantford Heritage Inventory; it is recommended demolition be permitted to allow for the construction of the proposed apartment complex.

It is recommended that any architectural elements able to be salvaged from 247 West street be salvaged and that these materials be made available to current owners of listed and designated homes in the City of Brantford. In doing so the City can aid and promote the retention of properties within the community that may need restoration or are undergoing adaptive re-use and require the installation of temporally correct millwork and hardware. Such a program could promote the retention of heritage structures and divert construction waste from landfill. Providing access to temporarily accurate construction materials from historic structures that are being demolished can save owners of heritage structures thousands of dollars and foster the larger City objective of retaining community heritage.
