BACKGROUND This dwelling was built circa 1890 and was added to the Heritage Inventory in 1983. HERITAGE ATTRIBUTES PHYSICAL/DESIGN The dwelling at 13115 Keele Street displays a vernacular style of architecture. The dwelling features a gable roof and large window surrounds. HISTORICAL/ASSOCIATIVE VALUE There is no known historical / associative value. CONTEXTUAL VALUE The dwelling contributes well to the streetscape of Keele Street, north of King Road, and displays similar characteristics to nearby dwellings. Heritage Property Page 3 of 33 Evaluations AREAS OF CONCERN No outstanding concerns. EVALUATION OF HERITAGE VALUE The dwelling located at 13115 Keele Street has been modified over the years, including the rear 1.5 storey addition which was added prior to 2010. Given there is no known historical / associative value to the property and the dwelling does not feature any significant architectural features, 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.

The proposed name is consistent with the City of Toronto Street Naming Policy approved by City Council at its meeting held on August 1, 2, 3 and 4, 2000 and amended May 30, 31 and June 1, 2001 and should therefore be approved for identifying the private right of way.
