The former municipal Councils initiated a variety of actions to protect important buildings including formal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act and the establishment of informal built heritage inventories. These activities were typically undertaken or supervised by municipal Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committees (LACACs). Hamilton’s Heritage, Volume 1, (August 2002), contains a compilation of all designated properties under the Ontario Heritage Act. This document, Hamilton’s Heritage, Volume 2, is a companion volume that lists all heritage properties that have been inventoried or identified by the former municipalities. The preparation of an inventory is a recognized, standard practice in any sound heritage management strategy. A heritage inventory is a simple and effective way of taking stock or otherwise accounting for the various types of heritage buildings and features that may exist within any defined geographical area. The new City of Hamilton’s inventory is intended to list and identify all those buildings, structures and features that are considered to be of prospective or potential heritage interest. The new City inventory comprises all those heritage features previously identified and documented by the former municipalities that now comprise the City of Hamilton, as follows: Hamilton Planning and Development Department, Long Range Planning and Design Division, Heritage and Urban Design Section September, 2002 Page 2 Hamilton’s Heritage Volume 2: Inventory of Buildings of Architectural and/or Historical Interest · Town of Ancaster (Untitled collection of research reports prepared for the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, 1976-1985), · Town of Dundas (Inventory of Buildings of Architectural and Historical Significance in Dundas, January 1996), · Town of Flamborough (Flamborough LACAC Building Survey, 1982 and Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, 1991, Historic Building Survey of the Town of Flamborough), · Township of Glanbrook (Comprehensive Historical Inventory, September, 1984), · City of Hamilton (Inventory of Buildings of Architectural and/or Historical Interest, December 2000 and Inventory of Cultural Heritage Landscapes, March 1999) and · the City of Stoney Creek (Potential Sites of Historical and/or Architectural Value, May 2000). There will be additions to the inventory as survey work continues over the coming years. The inventory is not to be considered as a fixed or complete list. It will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis in order to include additional heritage features and to document or note any features that may have been destroyed. The inventory is a first step and the basic building block of a properly managed municipal heritage conservation strategy. The inventory assists in making informed decisions, enhances educational initiatives and promotes knowledge and awareness of the special characteristics of a City of Hamilton Planning and Development Department, Long Range Planning and Design Division, Heritage and Urban Design Section, September, 2002 Hamilton’s Heritage Volume 2: Inventory of Buildings of Architectural and/or Historical Interest Page 3 community. An inventory provides an essential base for consistent and coherent management of a municipality’s immovable cultural heritage. “Buildings” of architectural and/or historical interest for the purposes of the City’s inventory comprise a variety of features and include a wide array of structural types such as dwellings, churches, town halls, mills, lighthouses, railway stations and bridges. These forms of built heritage incorporate not only classically designed public buildings and residential structures but also more modest reminders of the past including farmsteads, worker’s housing and simple manufactories. Such features usually incorporate a diversity of architectural and stylistic variations, varied construction techniques and building materials, as well as an array of historical associations with people, groups, places, events or activities. Built heritage resources are found throughout the new City in urban, suburban and rural areas. These features are considered of heritage value to the community in which they are immediately located, and in a wider context within the province or the nation. Listing neither affects property values nor restricts the use or enjoyment of property at all. No legal restrictions are imposed on property through listing in the Inventory of Buildings of Architectural and/or Historical Interest. The listing will be used internally by City staff to review demolition permit applications, planning and development applications and the disposition of City owned property. Where appropriate staff of the Heritage and Urban Design Section and/or LACAC may provide further detailed comments on the heritage attributes of a listed property. Hamilton Planning and Development Department, Long Range Planning and Design Division, Heritage and Urban Design Section September, 2002 Page 4 Hamilton’s Heritage Volume 2: Inventory of Buildings of Architectural and/or Historical Interest Format of the list The following listing of heritage properties contains only basic information, namely a property address. At the time of preparing this volume an electronic data base is being compiled that will eventually contain other essential historical or architectural information. Each of the following data entries is typically supported by a hard-copy file or research report that once formed part of the former municipalities’ paper record. None of the former municipalities had previously embarked on the development of an electronic database. Appendix A: Inventory of Cultural Heritage Landscapes Appendix A represents the formative work commenced in the late 1990s by the former City of Hamilton in recognising cultural heritage landscapes under the Provincial Policy Statement issued pursuant to the Planning Act. Staff of the Heritage and Urban Design Section together with LACAC are in the process of deriving consistent heritage landscape types and formal evaluation criteria to guide future work in this area. A revised listing and explanatory text will be issued in due course. Appendix A should be consulted on an interim basis if any major public works or major planning and development initiatives are anticipated to affect such landscapes. Staff of the Heritage and Urban Design Section and LACAC should be contacted accordingly.
