THE RAINEY FARMHOUSE, SCHOMBERG, TOWNSHIP OF KING

Description: Concession 10 West Half Part Lot 25, 7305 18th Sideroad Assessment Roll Number 082-234

Ownership: James and Sharon Rainey

REASONS FOR DESIGNATION:

Description

The Rainey Farmhouse, a unique example of a mid 19th century Ontario Vernacular house with Regency elements, is situated on 96 acres on the south side of 18th Sideroad, east of Concession 11, at 7305 18th Sideroad, west half Concession 10, part Lot 25.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest

The cultural heritage value of The Rainey Farmhouse is related to its design or physical value as a unique example of the evolution of an Ontario vernacular farmhouse. Built in 1855, the red brick portion of the Rainey Farmhouse demonstrates Regency elements with its rectangular one and a half storey floor plan, centre hall, and symmetry defined by its placement of front façade windows, front door and two chimneys. The two additions, the first of local field stone, and the second frame, board and batten clad addition, exemplify the growing prosperity of the farm and its owners.

The cultural heritage value of The Rainey Farmhouse is related to its historical or associative value as the 1855 to 1885 home of John Dodds and Emily Webb, Pennsylvania Quakers, who took part in the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion. Since 1849 until present, six generations of the Dodds family and their descendants of the Rainey family have lived on the property.

The cultural heritage value of The Rainey Farmhouse also relates to its contextual value of over 150 years continuously serving as a landmark representing the rural evolution of a mid 19th century farm residence.

Heritage Attributes

The dwelling located at 10 Old Church Road has been modified significantly over the years, with the majority occurring prior to 1983. Modern additions have been placed on the south and east sides of the building and nearly the entire exterior have been resided by board and batten. Despite these alterations to the dwelling, the overall character contributes to the surrounding hamlet area. Given the historical / associative value associated with the dwelling, staff are satisfied that this property meets the criteria under Ontario Regulation 9/06 for determining cultural heritage value. Therefore, staff recommend that this property be considered for inclusion on the Township’s Heritage Register for its architectural, historical, and contextual value.

EVALUATION OF HERITAGE VALUE

The dwelling located at 15 Old Church Road has undergone significant modifications since its original construction in 1904. The original building was built in a style typical of late 19th century Ontario churches. Original defining attributes, such as a steep gable roof and gothic windows have since been removed. The original doorway, with a centre-pointed surround has been removed and replaced with an overhead door to accommodate a garage. In addition, the original elements of the interior, such as the original floors, have been replaced.

Despite the historical / associative value from its former use as a church, only the brick buttresses remain from the original construction. 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.
