KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Executive Summary

The Municipality of Kincardine (the Municipality) initiated the Kincardine Heritage Conservation District Study (the HCD Study) to determine whether the Study Area, in whole or in part, merited designation under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) as a Heritage Conservation District (HCD). HCD designations are policy-based tools that can help manage change in a community by providing a district planning framework for conserving the Municipality’s heritage. This allows for compatible new designs that coexist with the historic fabric of a community, rather than freezing a place in time. HCDs are completed in two phases: The HCD Study, and the HCD Plan.

The HCD Study is the first phase in the HCD process. The Study determines whether an area merits designation under Part V of the OHA, providing the historical background, evaluation of resources, and the analysis required to identify the cultural heritage values and heritage attributes of an area. If an area is identified as meriting designation as an HCD the second phase is pursued, and a Plan may be prepared to provide policies and guidelines to manage change in the area and conserve its heritage attributes. At present, only the HCD Study phase is being conducted in Kincardine.

The Study Area for the Kincardine HCD was provided by the Municipality. It consists of an area in the Municipality of Kincardine along Queen Street, between Durham Market South and Lambton Street, Durham Market North and Durham Market South, including Victoria Park, Queen’s Lookout Parkette, and Princes Street from its start south of Durham Market North to Lambton Street. The Study Area contains 93 properties, including commercial properties, mixed use properties, residential properties, civic buildings, and a park.

To determine whether the Study Area demonstrated merit for consideration of an HCD, the Project Team analyzed and evaluated the Study Area’s historical development, built form, streetscapes, open spaces and landscape features. The Project Team also reviewed relevant planning documents to identify how the existing planning framework would support an HCD. Through this evaluation, the Project team identified cultural heritage value in the Study Area related to its role as the historic civic, cultural, and commercial heart of the community. This is reflected in the representative concentration of late 19th and early 20th century commercial, mixed use, and residential properties that reflect the growth and development of Kincardine during that period. The Study Area has evolved over time but retains a high degree of integrity evident in the original street network and historic building stock.

The Study Area consists of three character areas; the Queen Street commercial core, the Princes Street Residential area, and the mixed used area of Durham Market Square/Victoria Park. These character areas contain different features and visual and spatial perspectives but intersect with each other through the street grid and have strong historical ties.

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

The collection of built resources, streetscapes, and landscape elements in the Study Area result in an area that is distinctive from its surroundings. The Queen Street character area contains a streetwall with few interruptions, built to the sidewalk frontage, creating an enclosed corridor where the visitor’s experience is framed by the historic brick buildings and urban setting. The Princes Street residential area is distinguished from other residential areas by its generous lots and grassed boulevard with mature trees. The Durham Market and Victoria Park area is unique within the community, and reflective of historic settlement and survey patterns in the core area of the market square that were not established or retained elsewhere in Kincardine. While other commercial and residential areas surrounding the Study Area contain older buildings, the concentration is not as consistent, with more scattered examples of ornate architectural design.

Based on the findings of this HCD Study revealed cultural heritage value or interest in the area and merit as an HCD. Strong themes emerged and were confirmed by the community regarding Kincardine’s history as a harbour town. A concentration of late 19th and early 20th century architecture, in commercial, civic and residential form, as well as mature vegetation and public park areas, define the historic core and are a legacy of the Municipality’s heritage and are valued by the community as such. An HCD will be an important community tool for conserving these assets for the future.

The recommended boundary reflects both historical and visual considerations. The area includes a high concentration of buildings that were constructed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, containing urban form and architecture representative of these eras. The boundary also contains a high degree of integrity, evident in the visual cohesion noted particularly in the commercial, residential, and mixed-use streetscapes. These are typically between one to three storeys in height, generally with consistent setbacks, and similarity in architectural styles, building materials, and building forms. These qualities contribute to the sense of time and place experienced within the proposed boundary area.

Additional areas beyond the Study Area were considered for possible inclusion within the HCD boundary. Community consultation raised the possibility of including Harbour Street within the HCD Study Area. The Project Team reviewed this area and found that a section of Harbour Street between Queen Street to Huron Terrace, plus the lighthouse and Walker House properties, met many of the criteria to be included within the HCD boundary, containing resources of a similar character to the study area, including commercial and residential properties. The lighthouse and Walker House buildings form an anchor to this section of the streetscape. It is recommended that the Municipality consider including this area within the HCD boundary, if an HCD is pursued.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE OF STUDY

This HCD Study has five key objectives:

• Understand the historical development of the Study Area and the current planning framework

• Identify significant features or patterns in the development, architecture, building type, and landscapes of the Study Area

• Engage the community throughout the HCD Study process

• Evaluate the Study Area for HCD merit

• Recommend HCD designation or other planning measures, as appropriate

Introduction December 6, 2019

1.3 METHODOLOGY

This HCD Study follows the guidance outlined in the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries (MHSTCI), formerly the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport, Heritage Tool Kit, specifically the document Heritage Conservation Districts: A Guide to District Designation Under the Ontario Heritage Act (Ministry of Culture 2006). This document outlines the steps to undertaking an HCD Study, including:

• Receiving a request to designate

• Consulting the municipal heritage committee

• Reviewing Official Plan (OP) provisions to determine if there is policy to support an HCD

• Evaluating cultural heritage value or interest and identifying heritage attributes

• Determining a boundary of the potential HCD

• Consulting the public

In completing the HCD Study, Stantec collected archival material, conducted historical background research, and undertook a review of existing planning documents and studies relevant to the Study Area. Several site visits were undertaken by Project Team members to prepare an inventory of the Study Area, and review boundary considerations. Inventory material was collected on September 12, 2019 by Laura Walter, MA and Frank Smith, MA, Cultural Heritage Specialists with Stantec.

Information for the inventory was collected using Collector for ARCGIS. Inventory entries were completed both in the field and in the office and supplemented with historical research. The dates of construction for buildings were determined using the Heritage Kincardine Town of Kincardine Walking Tour, designating by-laws, land registry records, and Historic Queen Street Kincardine Third Edition. Municipal address numbers contained in the report are based on County of Bruce GIS data.

To evaluate the Study Area for cultural heritage value or interest and determine its merit as an HCD, the study team followed guidance contained in the Ontario Heritage Toolkit, considering the following elements:

• Historical association

• Architectural styles

• Vernacular design

• Integrity

• Architectural details

• Landmark status or group value

• Landscapes and public open spaces

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Background December 6, 2019

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 WHAT IS A HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT?

An HCD is a place where history is embraced and heritage resources have been preserved. It may bring to mind pioneer villages or picturesque streetscapes. In reality, an HCD is so much more. From mid- century modern historic buildings to pre-confederation landscapes to active historic industries; HCDs represent places where planning tools are employed to maintain the specific character of a place and facilitate its retention for generations to come. With 134 of these districts spanning the province, municipalities have embraced the HCD as a means to very important ends (MHSTCI 2019).

Technically speaking, an HCD is an area protected by a by-law passed by a municipality under Part V of the OHA. An HCD provides a framework for protecting and conserving heritage resources by creating policies and guidelines to manage change and new development within the district. HCDs are not intended to stop all change or ‘freeze’ a place within a specific time period. Rather, they are an important community tool for balancing the ongoing needs for property maintenance and development while considering the features that define a place and its history. Each HCD is unique and reflects the history and values of the community within which it is situated.

There are two phases required to designate an HCD; the Study and the Plan. The first, the study phase, identifies elements of the community that define the character of the Study Area. The results of the Study are compiled into an illustrative report that includes a review of the history of the Study Area, the results of an inventory of resources, policy overview, and recommendations for boundary delineation, heritage attributes and objectives of an HCD plan, if appropriate. The second, the plan phase, involves preparing a Plan and guidelines to manage change in the area. During this phase, measures to protect the character of the area are articulated, including policy statements and guidelines for achieving the goals and objectives of the HCD. It is within this second phase that OP amendments are proposed, if needed, by- laws are drafted, and appeal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal is made, if any.

Not all HCD studies move past the first phase. Sometimes a place simply does not meet the framework established by the MHSTCI for HCDs. In these cases, other planning measures may be considered. Alternatively, for a variety of reasons, municipal councils may choose to not proceed to the second phase. Ultimately, in Ontario, the onus is on the community to decide how to proceed and conserve their heritage. HCD Plans can be important tools for managing change in areas containing heritage buildings and landscapes. Downtown areas often contain concentrations of older buildings. These areas frequently exhibit patterns of development that demonstrate human history and evolution over time. Yet these areas are also often prone to many layers of alteration, ranging from façade modifications as businesses and consumer habits change, to infill development as provincial policies direct urban centres to move towards intensification. It is the role of the HCD Study to determine if an area contains a high enough concentration of heritage resources with distinct heritage attributes to merit conservation.

2.1

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Background December 6, 2019

2.2 PROVINCIAL LEGISLATION AND POLICY

2.2.1 The Planning Act

The Planning Act is provincial legislation that sets out requirements for land use planning in the province. Under the Planning Act, the Minister, the council of a municipality, a local board, a planning board, or the Tribunal are responsible for carrying out the conservation of features of significant architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological, or scientific interest (Government of Ontario 1990).

Under the Planning Act, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing may issue provincial statements on matters related to land use planning that are of provincial interest. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) contains policy directions on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS is applied provincewide.

2.2.2 Provincial Policy Statement

The PPS was revised in 2014 and provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to planning and development. Cultural heritage is addressed in Section 2.6 of the PPS where it states that:

2.6.1 - Significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved.

2.6.3 - Planning authorities shall not permit development and site alteration on adjacent lands to protected heritage property except where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conserved (Government of Ontario 2014: 29).

(Government of Ontario 2014)

The PPS does not specifically identify HCDs but does provide the framework for conserving significant heritage resources as seen in Section 2.6.1. In addition, the PPS outlines that development adjacent to protected heritage properties is required to assess the impacts to heritage resources. The PPS includes properties designated under Part V of the OHA as protected properties, thereby requiring that impacts to HCD character be considered as part of the planning process.

2.2.3 Ontario Heritage Act

The OHA came into force in 1975 with the purpose of giving the province and municipalities the power to preserve heritage properties and archaeological sites. The OHA underwent a comprehensive amendment in 2005 which strengthened and improved heritage protection in Ontario. As a result of this amendment, the province and municipalities were given new powers to delay and stop the demolition of heritage properties while an appeals process was established that respected the rights of property owners. Alongside this power, municipalities were given an expanded ability to identify and designate sites of provincial significance and clear standards and guidelines for the preservation of provincial heritage

2.2

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Background December 6, 2019

properties were established. The 2005 amendment also provided enhanced protection of marine heritage sites, archaeological resources, and HCDs.

Two sections of the OHA are relevant to the Kincardine HCD Study. Part IV regulates the designation of individual heritage properties. As outlined in the Ontario Heritage Toolkit, when an HCD plan is adopted and designated under the OHA, municipalities must consider the guidelines and policies of the HCD Plan when reviewing applications to alter or demolish a property designated under Part IV of the OHA (Ministry of Culture 2006). Part V regulates the designation of HCDs. As outlined in the Ontario Heritage Toolkit (Ministry of Culture 2006), municipalities are required to adopt a district plan when an HCD is designated under Part V the OHA. The plan must include a statement of objectives and provide policies and guidelines so that these objectives can be met, and change can be managed in the district. Municipalities have the option to implement interim control by-laws under Section 38 of the Planning Act for up to one year to protect areas that are being studied for HCD designation. Municipalities must consult with their heritage committees and the public in the development of an HCD plan.

Amendments to the OHA were introduced in 2019 as part of Bill 108, which received Royal Assent on June 6, 2019. With respect to Part V of the Act, there are no amendments that have bearing on the preparation of HCD Studies.

2.3 CRITERIA FOR THE DESIGNATION OF A HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT

The are no defined criteria for determining if an area merits consideration as an HCD, but several tools are used in the evaluation process that are drawn from the Ontario Heritage Toolkit. At their core, HCDs are considered based on whether they demonstrate natural, historic, aesthetic, architectural, scenic, scientific, social, or spiritual values. These may be expressed in the architectural building stock, landscape design, or through an association with historical themes, events, or people that may have shaped the appearance or development of the area. Many HCDs demonstrate value through the relationship they have to their surroundings or are landmark areas of character within the community.

In determining whether a place demonstrates the above values, the Study identifies “contributing” features of the area through the inventory process and analyzes the nature of the overall character. It is important to note that HCDs are considered to be significant for the sum of their parts; properties within an HCD may or may not be significant on an individual basis, but it is the collection of the properties including buildings or structures, landscapes, streetscapes, or natural features and their relationship to one another that make an HCD valuable.

Each HCD is different, but many share similar characteristics that are useful to consider when determining HCD merit. These are summarized in Table 1 below.

A framework of structured elements HCDs often include structured components that define or contribute to an area’s character. These may include major natural features (topography, landforms, landscapes, or water courses) or built features such as road or street patterns, nodes or intersections, landmarks, approaches, or defined edges. A sense of visual coherence HCDs often have a visual coherence that is indicative of their heritage value as being of a particular place or time. The visual coherence comes from similarities in resource types, scale, materials, massing, setbacks, or landscape patterns. A distinctiveness HCDs may be distinct from the surrounding area by virtue of the resources they contain or the ways in which they are situated.

3.0 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The following historical development section is not intended to be a definitive and overarching history of Kincardine, but rather an attempt to outline the development of downtown Kincardine from the time of settlement through the late 20th century. The purpose of this history is to provide context for the consideration of an HCD in Kincardine.

Kincardine is part of the Municipality of Kincardine, located within Bruce County, Ontario. Prior to municipal restructuring in 1999, Kincardine was incorporated as the Town of Kincardine. In 1999, the Township of Kincardine, Town of Kincardine, and Township of Bruce were amalgamated into the Corporation of the Township of Kincardine-Bruce-Tiverton, now the Municipality of Kincardine.

3.2 PHYSIOGRAPHY

The portion of Kincardine within the Study Area is located on the Huron Fringe physiographic region. The Huron Fringe is a narrow strip of land stretching along the entire Lake Huron shore from Sarnia to Tobermory. It is a wave-cut terrace created by glacial lakes Algonquin and Nipissing and contains associated boulder pavement, gravel bars and sand dunes. The region covers a total of approximately 1,127 square kilometres (Chapman and Putnam 1984:161).

3.3 INDIGENOUS HISTORY

At the turn of the 17th century, present-day Bruce County is understood to have been occupied by the Odawa (Ottawa) Nation, possibly by the Sinago band (Fox 1990: 457-461, 473). The Odawa were an Anishinaabeg speaking people who were agriculturalists and involved in regional trade. Traditionally, the mouth of the Penetangore River was a seasonal meeting place for the Anishnaabeg people of the region (Belden 1880). In 1649, the Seneca, along with the Mohawk, led a campaign in southern Ontario which dispersed the Hydron-Wendat, Tionontate (Petun), and Attiwandaron (Neutral) Nations (Heidenreich 1978). During this period of upheaval, some Odwa populations dispersed from present-day Bruce County and moved to lands around the Straits of Mackinac and Manitoulin Island.

At the end of the 17th century the Pottawatomi, the Ojibway, and Ottawa, formed a confederacy known as the Three Fires (Feest and Feest 1978: 777). Present-day Bruce County and the surrounding lands became contested territory between the Mohawk Iroquois Nation and the Three Fires Confederacy. Ojibway oral tradition recounts a number of pitched battles fought in Bruce County (Schmalz 1991: 22- 23). By the turn of the 18th century, Ojibway people had become established across southern Ontario, including within Bruce County. Kincardine is located within the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON), whose people continue to reside in Bruce County (Saugeen Ojibway Nation 2018).

3.4 DEVELOPMENT OF KINCARDINE

3.4.1 Survey and Early Settlement

In 1836, Sir Francis Bond Head, Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, concluded Treaty 45 ½, which surrendered present-day Bruce County south of the Bruce Peninsula to the Crown (Nativeland n.d.; Robertson 1906: 3). The remainder of Bruce County was surrendered to the Crown by 1854 (Robertson 1906: 6). The lands surrendered in 1836, including the future site of Kincardine, became known as the “Queen’s Bush.” This name differentiated the area from the privately held lands of the Canada Company in Huron County (Robertson 1906: 10).

The population of Upper Canada was expanding rapidly from the creation of the colony in 1791 until the early 1850s, as immigrants from the British Isles flocked to Canada. The colony enjoyed a high birth rate and steady immigration leading to an annual growth rate of about seven percent until 1851 (McCalla 1993: 3-4). The population of Upper Canada increased from 486,055 in 1842 to 952,004 in 1852.

In 1847, the colonial government decided to begin the process of opening the lands of the Queen’s Bush to settlement as most existing arable land was settled (Robertson 1906: 11). During 1847 and 1848, initial plans were drawn up for the subdivision of the Queen’s Bush into townships. On August 26, 1848, an Order in Council was passed stating that Durham Road, a colonization road from Simcoe County to the mouth of the Penetangore River, would be opened. Provincial surveyor A.P. Brough was instructed to make a survey of a town plot to be located at the mouth of the river, the location of present-day Kincardine (Robertson 1906: 13) (Figure 3). By the end of 1849, the town plot was surveyed and named Penetangore (Robertson 1906: 15).

The town plot for Penetangore encompassed a tract of land 110 chains in length by about 93 chains in width (approximately 2.2 km by 1.8 km). The plot included two marketplaces, including Durham Market Square. A.P. Brough noted that Penetangore was a derivative of the Indigenous name “Na-Benem-tan- guagh” which meant “the river with the sand on one side” (Robertson 1906: 439). Brough also expressed his belief that the town plot was situated on a desirable location, writing “it [Penetangore] may be regarded as an exceedingly healthy situation for a town and free from ague and other diseases that new towns in this climate are often subject to…it may be expected at no distant day Penetangore will become an important shipping port for agricultural produce” (Robertson 1906: 440-441). Brough’s description noted that the primary trees located in the townsite were beech, maple, elm, and hemlock, with some oak and red pine (Robertson 1906: 441).

Although the town plot was not surveyed until 1849, the first settlers at Penetangore arrived in 1848, without permission from the Crown. In the spring of 1848, Allan Cameron and William Withers, who were brothers in law, landed at the mouth of the Penetangore River and built a log house that also served as a hotel and tavern. Withers also built a frame sawmill but was warned by the Crown Lands Department that the land was occupied without authorization and that any trees cut would be subject to Crown dues (Robertson 1906: 26). By the end of 1848, Withers and Cameron were joined in Penetangore by about one dozen additional squatters (Robertson 1906: 27).

3.2

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Historical Development December 6, 2019

The town plot for Penetangore was located in the Township of Kincardine, which was surveyed in three phases from 1847 to 1850. The first portion of the survey was conducted in 1847 by Alexander Wilkinson, who surveyed the Lake Range Lots. In 1848 and 1849, A.P. Brough surveyed Durham Road, the town plot for Penetangore, and the three concessions to the north and south of the road. The remainder of the township was surveyed in 1850 by J.W. Bridgland. The name Kincardine originates from Kincardineshire, or The Mearns, a county on the east coast of Scotland located south of Aberdeen. The Scottish county also contains a town named Kincardine (Gardiner 1899: 371 and 375). James Bruce, for whom Bruce County was named, was the twelfth Earl of Kincardine (Plate 1).

Plate 1: James Bruce, the Earl of Kincardine, c. 1848 (Library and Archives Canada 1848)

The Township of Kincardine, including the Penetangore town plot, was opened to settlement in the spring of 1851 at a fixed price of 12 shillings 6 pence per acre (Robertson 1906: 51). Prior to the adoption of the Canadian dollar, Canadian currency was divided into pounds, shillings, and pence. Twelve pence made a shilling and twenty shillings made a pound. For an idea of the purchasing power of the Canadian pound, in the 1840s and early 1850s an American $10 coin was worth two pounds and ten shillings (Powell 2005: 20-21). The lands in the township were referred to as “school lands” because part of the proceeds from the sales were earmarked to fund schools in Bruce and Grey counties (Robertson 1906: 51 and 542).

The original survey of the Penetangore town plot was bounded on the north by Durham Street. However, Lots 12 to 15 of the Lake Range were subdivided into town lots by William Sutton, who named the area Williamsburg (Robertson 1906: 445). Through much of the 1850s, Penetangore remained a frontier community. The town plot contained stretches of uncleared forest and Durham Market Square remained uncleared as late as 1856. In areas of the hamlet that had been cleared, imposing stumps riddled the ground, including within road allowances (Robertson 1906: 448). The first industry established in Penetangore, aside from milling, was a furniture factory that was opened in 1856 (Robertson 1906: 450).

3.3

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Historical Development December 6, 2019

Despite the frontier nature, the hamlet continued to grow steadily and, in 1857, William Withers and R.G. Fowler conducted an informal census of Penetangore to ascertain if the hamlet could be incorporated as a village. Historical mapping from 1857 shows the extent of development in the hamlet at the time (Figure 4). Under the Municipal Act of 1849, a community could apply for incorporation as a village when the population reached 500 (Ontario Bureau of Statistics and Research 1947: 11 and 13). Withers and Fowler recorded 837 people within the hamlet and on January 1, 1858, Penetangore was incorporated as the Village of Kincardine (Robertson 1906: 458). Despite the name change, the Customs Department continued to refer to the port within the community as Penetangore until 1875 (Robertson 1906: 440).

3.4.2 Village of Kincardine, 1858-1874

With its new status as a village, Kincardine became a separate administrative unit from the Township of Kincardine, although it remained politically and administratively part of Bruce County. During the 19th century, a village was governed by an elected council consisting of a reeve and councillors (Archives of Ontario 2019 and Ontario Bureau of Statistics and Research 1947: 15). The first Reeve of Kincardine was William Rastall (Robertson 1906: 458).

During the village period of Kincardine’s development several industries struggled to remain viable. By 1860, a brewery and distillery were operating in the village, though neither business lasted more than 10 years (Robertson 1906: 450). In 1870, the Kincardine Salt Prospecting and Manufacturing Company opened: it had limited success and was closed by 1880 (Belden 1880: 5)

The Census of 1871 listed the population of Kincardine as 1,907. A summary of the population of Kincardine in graph form is provided in Section 3.4.6. The only other village within Bruce County was Southampton, which had a population of 858. Kincardine contained 339 occupied houses and six were under construction while the census was being enumerated (Census of Canada 1871).

The harbour at Kincardine became increasingly important as the agricultural output of Bruce County increased and salt was produced at Kincardine (Reynolds 1984: 19). Although some attempts were made at harbour improvements during the 1850s, including the construction of a breakwater and the cut of a sand dune between the river and Lake Huron, substantial improvements only began after incorporation as a village (Robertson 1906: 460 and Town of Kincardine 1982: 14). Between 1867 and 1868, the County and Village expended $23,000 on harbour improvements, including dredging and extensions of the north and south piers (Plate 2). By 1872, with an additional grant of $4,500 from the dominion government, the harbour was dredged to 12 feet in depth and was four acres in size (Robertson 1906: 460). This project was completed in 1877 (Robertson 1906: 461).

Plate 2: Kincardine Harbour, 1878 (Robertson 1906)

The impressive harbour at Kincardine made the village a major shipping point in Bruce County. Grain and other agricultural products were shipped from the harbour and stored in many warehouses along the lakeshore. The importance of Kincardine’s harbour as a shipping destination diminished when the Wellington, Grey, and Bruce Railway was completed to Kincardine in 1873 (Robertson 1906: 462). Other improvements to Kincardine during its period of development as a village included the first town hall, built in about 1862, and a second town hall, built in 1872. This second town hall included a fire hall as part of the building (Robertson 1906: 459).

3.4.3 Town of Kincardine, 1875-1899

On January 1, 1875, the Village of Kincardine changed its municipal status to a town. To achieve the status of a town as per the terms of the Municipal Act, a community had to attain a population of at least 2,000. A town was governed by a mayor, reeve, deputy reeve, and councillors (Ontario Bureau of Statistics and Research 1947: 14). The newly incorporated town continued to prosper and over $100,000 of products were exported from the harbour in 1875. The main exports recorded were salt, wheat, barley, peas, grass seed, flour, butter, pork, wool, pearlash, and tan bark (Brownell 1876: 132). Historical mapping from 1880 shows the large harbour and the continued subdivision of lots in the town (Figure 5).

3.5

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

The Census of 1881 revealed that Kincardine experienced strong growth between 1871 and 1881. The total number of houses in the town was 565, an increase of 66% (Census of Canada 1881). The population of the town was 2,876, the highest count it would reach until the mid-20th century. The County of Bruce contained 11 towns and villages in 1881, including Kincardine. For comparison, the population of Chesley was 893, Port Elgin 1,400, Southampton 1,141, Wiarton 796, and Walkerton 2,604. The Census of 1881 is the last census in which the population of Kincardine surpassed Walkerton until the postwar period (Dominion Bureau of Statistics 1953).

By 1880, several industrial businesses were operating in the Town. However, the Illustrated Atlas of Bruce County hesitated to refer to Kincardine as a “manufacturing town”, writing “Kincardine is not a manufacturing town, yet it includes among its industries a number of very respectable enterprises” (Belden 1880: 5). In 1880, the Town contained one salt mine, a foundry and machine shop, two furniture factories, two planing factories, a marble working business, wagon shops, carriage shops, pump factory, cooperages, tannery, packing house for pork products, and mills (Belden 1880: 5). The Town was also known as a tourist destination, noted for its striking sunsets and fair climate (Brownell 1876: 132).

During the 1880s and 1890s, infrastructure improvements in the Town included a waterworks and the beginning of electrical service. In the late 1880s, the first electrical company opened in the Town. The first waterworks opened in 1890 as a private company named the Kincardine Waterworks Company. The company built an intake pipe into Lake Huron that extended 150 yards (137 metres) to draw fresh water. The water improved sanitary conditions within the Town and increased the ability of the fire department to handle blazes. By the end of the 19th century, the Town contained four miles (6.4 kilometres) of water mains. The Town paid $2,100 a year to the Kincardine Waterworks Company, which provided water for fire protection, the streets, schools, and the town hall. In 1894, the Town opted to purchase both the waterworks and electrical company for $10,000 and $40,000 respectively (Robertson 1906: 459-460).

In the closing decade of the 19th century, Kincardine and Bruce County, like the majority of rural Ontario, were experiencing a population decline which would persist for much of the early 20th century. The population chart in Section 3.4.6 shows the decline in population in the Town and Township at the close of the century. The population of the Town of Kincardine in 1891 was 2,631; a decline of 8.5% from 1881 (Dominion Bureau of Statistics 1953).

The emergence of industrialization and urbanization during the late 19th century increased the number of wage workers required in cities and towns. At the same time, improvements in farm equipment and the mechanization of farming meant that less labour was required on a farm (Sampson 2012). This encouraged out-migration from rural areas to the burgeoning cities of Ontario (Drummond 1987: 30). Kincardine contained several industrial businesses at the end of the 19th century, which resulted in a less dramatic population decline for the Town when compared with the agriculturally dependent Kincardine Township.

3.4.4 Town of Kincardine, 1900-1950

The Census of 1901 sheds light on the state of Kincardine at the dawn of the 20th century. The Town had a population of 2,077, a decrease of 21% from 1891. The population of Kincardine Township mirrored the decline in the Town at 21% (Dominion Bureau of Statistics 1953). The census recorded 473 houses inhabited by 476 families within the Town (Census of Canada 1901).

In the mid-1930s, as part of a wider provincial road building program, King’s Highway 21, was extended north from Grand Bend to Owen Sound, improving road access to Kincardine from southern Ontario (Bevers 2019). The improvements in road access spurred increased tourism to Kincardine and numerous hotels, beach houses, and cottages accommodated the tourist trade (Plate 3) (Reynolds 1984: 166). Although, the “cottage culture” of Ontario predates the provincial road building program of the early 20th century, the introduction of road improvements, combined with the widespread adoption of the car, aided the growth of the tourist industry (Drummond 1987: 270). In 1904 the entire province contained only 535 cars; this number increased to 35,357 by 1914 and by 1939 increased to over 683,000 (Drummond 1987: 266, 269). Civic organizations and government aimed to capitalize on the increased mobility of Canadians and Americans during the 1920s and 1930s. In 1934, the Canadian Travel Bureau was created by the Dominion government and embarked on a campaign to increase tourism from the United States (Dawson 2012).

During the early to mid-20th century, the major employers were the various small and medium sized industries operating in the Town. These industries included the Hunter Bridge and Boiler Works, two furniture producers, Malcom and Watson and Coombe Furniture Company Limited, the Circle Bar Knitting Company, and the Kincardine Box Factory (Reynolds 1984: 153-161).

3.4.5 Town of Kincardine, 1950-1999

The most important development in Kincardine during the second half of the 20th century was the construction and opening of nuclear power generating stations at Douglas Point. In 1960, construction began on the Douglas Point nuclear facility, which achieved a nuclear chain reaction in 1966. Following the success of Douglas Point, in 1968 Ontario Hydro announced the construction of the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, also known as Bruce A. In 1975, this was followed by the approval for the construction of Bruce B. The construction of both these generating stations caused a surge in population in Kincardine (Reynolds 1984: 166). The population of the Town of Kincardine increased from 3,239 in 1971 to 5,780 in 1981, an increase of 78% (Statistics Canada 1972 and Statistics Canada 1984).

In 1977, work on the Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations reached its peak and 8,500 workers were employed on the site (Platiel 1986). The local municipalities in Bruce County, including Kincardine, struggled to provide services for the newcomers, and Ontario Hydro provided “impact payments” to local municipalities to help cover the cost of new services required. In 1983, the town received almost $220,000 from Ontario Hydro to assist in covering the 1,545 residents of Kincardine who reportedly worked on the Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations. The boom in Kincardine led to the construction of schools, stores, restaurants, and residential subdivisions to support the growing population. The need to accommodate temporary workers also led to a decrease in tourism, as many former summer rentals were booked by Ontario Hydro workers (Reynolds 1984: 166).

By 1986, the Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations were nearing completion and the workforce was reduced to 4,500 employees. The local municipalities expressed their concern that as construction ended further payroll cuts would be implemented, potentially threatening the economy of the area. The president of the Kincardine Chamber of Commerce, Jeff Byles, summed up the concern, stating “I don’t think everything is going to dry up and blow away just because Hydro [Ontario Hydro] is cutting back—but we have to do something about it” (Platiel 1986). Byles said that because Ontario Hydro offered the best wages, the tourist business and smaller industries struggled to compete (Platiel 1986). By end of the 1980s, the furniture factories, Circle Bar Knitting, and many other industries that had contributed to the early prosperity of the Town had closed (Reynolds 1984). Alongside this trend, rail service to Kincardine ended in the 1980s, when Canadian National Railway abandoned the line between Kincardine and Wingham in 1983 (Andreae 1997: 135).

Despite the concerns at the end of the 1980s about the possible impacts arising from scale backs at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations, and the closing of many local industries, the Town of Kincardine continued to grow through the 1990s. The population of the Town in 1991 was 6,585, an increase of 13% despite the completion of the Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations (Statistics Canada 1991).

Starting in 1996, the provincial government embarked on a program of municipal restructuring. Between 1996 and 2000 the number of municipalities in Ontario decreased from 815 to 471 (Rusk 2000). In 1998, as part of this restructuring program, the Town of Kincardine, Township of Bruce, and Township of Kincardine planned to amalgamate into the new Township of Kincardine-Bruce-Tiverton. The new municipality took effect on January 1, 1999. On December 22, 1999 the name was changed to the Municipality of Kincardine (Municipal Affairs and Housing 2018).

3.4.7 Municipality of Kincardine, 2000-Present

Since amalgamation, the Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations continue to be the largest employer, with tourism as the second largest part of the economy. The other primary economic driver is agriculture and the agricultural service economy (Municipality of Kincardine 2017). The population of the amalgamated Municipality of Kincardine was 11,389 in 2016, an increase of 1.9% since 2011 (Statistics Canada 2019).

The important role of the Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations was bolstered in 2005, when Bruce Power restarted Units 1 and 2 of the Bruce A Generating Station, returning the site to full capacity. In 2015, Bruce Power embarked on the Life-Extension Program, allowing the Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations to operate well into the middle of the 21st century (Bruce Power 2019a). Today, Bruce Power employs over 4,000 workers and continues to be an integral part of Bruce County’s economy (Bruce Power 2019b).

Downtown Kincardine has benefitted from an increased focus on tourism in the 21st century. Tourism is the second largest component of Bruce County’s economy and Kincardine is a major destination for tourists visiting Bruce County. In 2018, more than 2.5 million people visited Bruce County and spent more than $300 million dollars. The most visited areas of Bruce County include the Peninsula, Saugeen Shores, and Kincardine (Gowan 2019). Visitors to Kincardine can enjoy the brick paved sidewalks, stores, and restaurants along Queen Street within the Study Area. Numerous events also occur in Kincardine each year, such as the Scottish Festival and Highland Games, Saturday Night Pipe Band Parades, and the Kincardine Blues Fest. Victoria Park, within the Study Area, is advertised as the historic heart of Kincardine and hosts many gatherings each year for tourists and residents alike, including Saturday summer concerts (Bruce County 2010).

A 2010 study of downtown Kincardine rated the greatest strengths of downtown Kincardine to be the proximity to the beach, recreational green space, and heritage buildings. The drawbacks to Kincardine included the seasonal nature of tourism and that King’s Highway 21 bypasses downtown Kincardine (Bruce County 2010).

3.5 DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDY AREA

Located within 500 metres of Lake Huron, the Penetangore River, Kincardine Harbour, and the former location of the Kincardine Train Station, the Study Area contains the historic heart of the community. It is home to the main civic and public spaces, including the Old Town Hall, Post Office, Library, and Victoria Park (Durham Market Square). The commercial core of Kincardine developed around this location, evidenced by the banks, hotels, and businesses established on Queen Street during the 19th and early 20th century. Because of its important and convenient location within the townsite, the Study Area was also home to some of the earliest residences in Kincardine and later the location for stately residences built by some of the town’s prominent citizens. The Illustrated Atlas of Bruce County described the area around Durham Market Square with the following summarization “The public square is situated in rear of the Town Hall, which forms its front, while on the other three sides stand a number of the finest buildings to be seen in any of our Canadian towns, including…several exceptionally fine private residences” (Belden 1880: 5). The following sections outline the development of the Study Area from the establishment of Penetangore to the present-day.

3.5.1 Civic Buildings and Public Places

3.5.1.1 Old Town Hall and Victoria Park/Durham Market Square (707 Queen Street)

When the town plot for Penetangore was laid out in 1850, provincial surveyor Allan Park set aside Victoria Park as the “Durham Market”, writing “The Durham market is supposed to accommodate all settlers of the township who occupy the north side of Durham Road” (Robertson 1906: 442). The site was named due to its close proximity to the western terminus of the Durham Road (Reynolds 1984: 63). The Durham Road, through the Queen’s Bush in Grey and Bruce Counties, was an important pioneer road.

3.10

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Historical Development December 6, 2019

The market square was renamed Victoria Park in 1897 in honour of Queen Victoria and a fountain was installed in honour of her Golden Jubilee. Located within Victoria Park are two British cannons dating to the reign of King George III (1760-1820), which were likely used during the Crimean War and transported to Kincardine as war trophies (Reynolds 1984: 63). After the war, the British government gifted captured Russian cannons and, in some instances, British cannons that were used in the war to local towns as war trophies (Bartlett and Payne 2014). Victoria Park is an important gathering spot in the community and celebrations and other gatherings were frequently held in the park, historically and in the present day (Plate 4).

Plate 4: Victoria Park, c. 1900, looking south (Bruce County Museum nd a)

Shortly after the incorporation of the Village of Kincardine in 1858, a two storey wood frame town hall was built on the site of the present-day Old Town Hall. In December 1872, the current Old Town Hall was completed (Robertson 1906: 459). The building cost over $8,000 and was described in Belden’s historical atlas as “very respectable in appearance” (Belden 1880: 5). During the 19th century the interior contained a public hall with a stage, antechambers, green rooms, council chamber, town clerk’s office, firehall, lock- up, storerooms, and a caretaker’s room (Belden 1880: 5).

The construction of the Kincardine Post Office and Custom House began in 1907 and was over seen by William Nicholson. Historical photography from 1910 shows the completed building (Plate 5). Nicholson won the contract to work on the Post Office and Customs House with a bid of $17,700. The building served as both a post office and customs office (Municipality of Kincardine 2013). The first post office was established in Kincardine in 1851 and mail was retrieved from Goderich once per week by horse (Reynolds 1984: 91). In 1913, rural mail service was established and the next year stage delivery ended. In 1977, the facility was deemed too small for the Town’s needs and the post office was moved. Since the closing of the post office, the building remains in use for local businesses and services (Municipality of Kincardine 2013).

3.5.1.3 Kincardine Public Library (727 Queen Street)

The first library in Kincardine began in 1861 as the Lyceum Club and was organized by Norman Robertson, the author of The History of the County of Bruce. In 1866, the club closed when a Mechanics Institute opened in the Town. In 1888, the library contained 112 paid members, 28 unpaid members, and 550 books. Books were chosen by ballot, with clergy exercising a proxy vote. In 1903, to expand the offerings of the library, the library board applied for a Carnegie Grant (Reynolds 1984: 89).

Carnegie grants were created by the Scottish American industrialist Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie believed strongly in free education and dedicated much of his personal fortune to philanthropy, including funding the construction of libraries throughout the world. Carnegie funded the construction of 111 libraries in

Ontario, allotting $2,556,600 dollars (MTCS 2017). The grant for the Kincardine Library was approved in 1906 when the library was awarded $5,000 that was paid out in five $1,000 instalments. Land for the new library was donated by the town and construction was completed by 1908 (Plate 6). The architect of the library was J.W. Drake and construction was overseen by Elmore Mahood and William Nicholson (MTCS 2017; Reynolds 1984: 89). Furniture for the new library was supplied by the local furniture companies Andrew Malcom Furniture Co. and Watson and Coombe (Reynolds 1984: 89).

3.5.2 Commercial Development

Initial commercial development was scattered around the Penetangore townsite and it was unclear where the commercial core of the community would emerge. Shops and taverns were located on Huron Terrace Street, Lambton Street, Durham Street, Queen Street, the Durham Market Square, and Sutton’s Hollow (Robertson 1906: 449). Historical mapping from 1854 shows that Queen Street between Harbour Street and Durham Market contained many lots which were built upon. Initially, the shops and businesses of Kincardine would have been log or frame structures.

3.13

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Historical Development December 6, 2019

By the time Kincardine was incorporated as a town, Queen Street between Durham Market South and Lambton Street would emerge as the dominant commercial centre of Kincardine. This area had numerous advantages as a commercial centre. Queen Street between Durham Market South and Lambton Street is close to the harbour, former railway line, and the Durham Market Square. As a gathering and marketplace in the community, the first civic buildings in Kincardine were built adjacent to the market. This combination of factors led to the growth of businesses and shops along Queen Street.

The transition of Kincardine and Bruce County from a frontier development to an area serviced by rail and regular shipping increased the prosperity of Kincardine and allowed merchants to construct more permanent buildings, often constructed of brick. Brick making began around Kincardine in 1870 when father and son George and John Riggin arrived in Kincardine. They built a substantial brickyard on South Line (present-day Kincardine Avenue). Their capacity for brick making was bolstered in 1873 when the arrival of the railway allowed for the shipping of a brick machine which pressed bricks (Reynolds 1984: 148). The growing prosperity of Kincardine, combined with the increased capacity of brick making, led to the construction of many of the brick commercial blocks located within the Study Area between 1870 and 1900. These structures were often built in the Second Empire and Renaissance Revival design styles which were popular during the late 19th century.

By the early 20th century, many of the existing commercial structures on Queen Street had been erected (Plate 7). Historical mapping from 1914 shows that most commercial businesses in the Study Area were located on Queen Street, from Lambton Street to just south of Harbour Street (Figure 6). West of the public library and post office on Queen Street were several detached frame structures and stables. These stables likely existed to accommodate visitors to Durham Market Square/Victoria Park and the businesses along Queen Street. During the mid-20th century these detached buildings and stables were replaced by modern structures. The majority of the commercial buildings in the Study Area retained their 19th century character into the mid-20th century (Plate 8). In the present-day, there is little modern infill opposite the library and post office and there is limited modern infill along Queen Street.

3.5.3 Residential Development

Similar to commercial buildings, the earliest residences were often log and frame dwellings. These were often temporary in nature and replaced with a brick or stone home later. Development in the Study Area began during the 1850s and was concentrated around Durham Market North and Durham Market South. Historical mapping from 1857 depicts Princes Street as labeled “Princess Street.” The portion of the street within the Study Area was divided into 22 park lots, four of which contained structures. Present-day Durham Market North contained five park lots, all developed, and present-day Durham Market South also contained five park lots, three of which were developed. Largescale residential development on Princes Street began in earnest in the 1870s, the same time Kincardine experienced strong population growth. By 1910 the majority of available lots had been developed (Plate 9).

Princes Street and Durham Market North and South developed into streets inhabited by prominent residents of the community. Many of these homeowners were members of the managerial class or owners of important businesses in the community. Prominent residents in the Study Area included George Swan, a prominent local merchant, (737 Princes Street) (Plate 10), John Watson, owner of the Watson Furniture Company (816 Princes Street), Andrew Malcolm, owner of the Malcolm Furniture Company (796 Princes Street), Billy Mitchell, owner of the Circle Bar Knitting Company (776 Princes Street), and John Scougall, who served as a banker and town clerk in the late 19th century (750 Princes Street) (Municipality of Kincardine 2015). During the second half of the 20th century, some of the residences within the Study Area, particularly on Durham Market North, were converted to commercial use, mixed use, or divided into apartments.

3.5.4 Kincardine United Church (721 Princes Street)

The Kincardine United Church traces its origins to 1851 as a Wesleyan Methodist congregation. A small brick church was opened in 1857 on Princes Street. By 1874, the church had 248 congregants and was becoming overcrowded. A new church was built in 1876, paid for by subscription and costing $13,199. By the time of completion, it had gone significantly over budget (Reynolds 1984: 103; Robertson 1906: 452- 453). The church was not paid off until 1912, when a mortgage burning ceremony was held in the church (Reynolds 1984: 104). In 1925 the Methodist, Congregationalist, and Presbyterian churches merged to form the new United Church of Canada.

Over the years, the church has been renovated, including new chancel furnishings in 1944-1947, the rebuilding of the organ in 1947-1951, and an upgrade of the sanctuary in 1962, which cost $40,000. Repairs carried out in the 1970s and 1980s included a new roof, sidewalks, landscaping, carpeting, repointing of the brick work, and rearrangement of the chancel (Reynolds 1984: 104-105).

3.6 EFFECTS OF HISTORY ON THE STUDY AREA

The Study Area retains buildings and Victoria Park that are indicative of the heritage of Kincardine and provide a tangible connection to its past as an important commercial hub and harbour in Bruce County. The structures within the Study Area, mainly constructed between 1870 and 1900, reflect the prosperous status of the Town of Kincardine during the late 19th century. The Study Area contains limited modern infill, particularly on the west side of Queen Street south of Harbour Street. Victoria Park contains a physical link to the historical layout of the town plot of Kincardine, originally being set aside by the surveyor as a public marketplace.

The physical appearance of the Study Area, with its mix of buildings from different construction periods and of different architectural styles, is indicative of the historical development of Kincardine. Late 19th century structures reflect the prosperity of Kincardine during this period, as the harbour was an important destination, numerous manufacturers were located in the town, and the railway facilitated the movement of people and goods from the more industrialized and populated parts of southern Ontario. The commercial structures are predominantly from this period, reflecting the commercial opportunities available in the town during the late 19th century.

Although the population of Kincardine began to ebb after 1891 and into the early 20th century, this was not unique to the town and was experienced in rural areas and smaller towns throughout Ontario. The population that remained continued to prosper and the impressive residences built during the early 20th century on Princes Street reflect this prosperity. The architectural styles present in the Study Area are reflective of contemporary tastes in architecture during the 19th and early 20th century in Ontario. It should be noted that the prevalence of Second Empire style structures in Kincardine and the Study Area is greater than typically seen in towns of similar size and age in Ontario. This reflects the work of the local architect A.J. Evans, who is said to have favoured the style (Municipality of Kincardine 2015).

The changes that occurred in Kincardine over time, and their effects on the Study Area, parallel the development of many other communities in southern Ontario. As the importance of local industry declined in the mid-20th century, the Town increasingly turned to tourism to bolster its fortunes. The late 20th century development of Kincardine has been heavily influenced by the proximity of the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, causing a population increase of 78% between 1971 and 1981. The important role the generating station plays in Kincardine continues to the present-day. This is evident in the community by the high concentration of small office outlets, including engineering and consulting firms which provide services to Bruce Power, which led to the conversion of some residences and storefronts into office space.

4.1 STREET NETWORK The Study Area is predominantly comprised of two north-south linear corridors and three smaller east- west linear corridors. The north-south corridors include Queen Street from Durham Market South north to Lambton Street and Princes Street from just south of Durham Market South north to Lambton Street. The east-west corridors include Durham Market South and North and the south half of Lambton Street from Queen Street to Princes Street. The character of these streets is discussed below.

4.1.1 Queen Street

Queen Street is the main commercial thoroughfare of Kincardine and forms the commercial core of the Study Area. Within the Study Area, it is laid out in a north-south direction and consists of two lanes of traffic (one northbound lane and one southbound lane) with on street parking on both sides (Plate 12 and Plate 13). Within the Study Area, Queen Street contains four T-intersections (Durham Market South, Durham Market North, Harbour Street, and the laneway leading to municipal parking) and one cross intersection (Lambton Street). The intersections at Harbour Street has a pedestrian crosswalk light and the intersection at Lambton Street is controlled by a traffic light, while the intersections of Durham Market South and North are controlled by stop signs for traffic turning onto Queen Street. The only dedicated turning lane on Queen Street within the Study Area is a right turn lane located at the intersection of Lambton Street and Queen Street.

4.1.2 Princes Street

Princes Street is a residential street located just east of the commercial core. Within the Study Area it is laid out in a north-south direction and accommodates two lanes of traffic (one northbound lane and one southbound lane), though the roadway within the Study Area contains no lane markings (Plate 14). Parking is restricted to the east side of the street, except for a small parking lot adjacent to Victoria Park. Within the Study Area, Princes Street contains four T-intersections (Durham Market South, Durham Market North, Russell l Street, and the laneway leading to municipal parking) (Plate 15) and one cross intersection (Lambton Street). There are no traffic lights on Princes Street within the Study Area. The intersections of Durham Market South, Russell Street, and Durham Market north are controlled by stop signs for traffic turning onto Princes Street and the intersection at Lambton Street is controlled by a stop sign for traffic turning onto Lambton Street.

4.1.3 Durham Market North and South

The entirety of Durham Market South and North is contained within the Study Area and both streets are approximately 145 metres in length. Both roadways contain a mix of commercial and residential structures and are adjacent to Victoria Park (Plate 16 and Plate 17). Both streets are laid out in an east- west direction and accommodate two lanes of traffic (one eastbound and one westbound), though the roadways contain no lane markings. Parking on both streets are small parking lots located adjacent to Victoria Park. Both roads terminate at each end at T-intersections controlled by stop signs for traffic turning onto Princes Street and Queen Street.

4.1.4 Lambton Street

Lambton Street within the Study Area is a mixed commercial and residential street located within, and adjacent to, the commercial core of Kincardine. The street is laid out in an east-west direction and contains two lanes of traffic (one eastbound and one westbound) though most of the roadway within the Study Area contains no lane markings. Both sides of Lambton Street contain parking spaces. Within the Study Area, Lambton Street contains one cross intersection (Queen Street) and one cross-intersection (Princes Street). The intersection with Queen Street is controlled by a traffic light and the intersection at Princes Street is controlled by a stop sign for cars turning onto Lambton Street.

4.2 PARKING

The Study Area contains on-street parking and a large municipal parking lot accessed from the Study Area (Plate 18 and Plate 19). The municipal lot is located between parts of Queen Street and Princes Street and can be entered and exited from both Princes Street and only entered from Queen Street. The lot can also be accessed by pedestrians from Lambton Street through a privately-owned area. The lot is paved with asphalt and contains rows of marked perpendicular parking spaces. Because the municipal parking lot is located behind the main commercial core of Queen Street and behind the residences along Princes Street, it does not create a visual break with the street wall of Queen Street or streetscape of Princes Street. The Study Area also contains several small private parking lots and a small municipal lot, located on the west side of Queen Street.

4.3 PEDESTRIAN REALM

The pedestrian realm of the Study Area is comprised of sidewalks and paths located along the street or within Victoria Park. Together, these public spaces create a network of circulation routes for pedestrians to travel through downtown Kincardine and the adjacent residential areas. Each is described in more detail below.

4.3.1 Sidewalks

The pedestrian realm in the Study Area is comprised of sidewalks along Queen Street, Durham Market North and South, Princes Street, and Lambton Street. The sidewalks on Queen Street consist of interlocking red brick pavers. The interlocking brick pavers are arranged predominantly in a basket weave pattern. The section of the sidewalk adjacent to the curb is not arranged in a basket weave design (Plate 20). This section of the sidewalk is interspaced with municipal street lighting, street trees, and street furniture.

Durham Market North contains a plain concrete slab sidewalk on the north side of the street and Durham Market South contains a plain concrete sidewalk on the south side of the street between 338 Durham Market South and the terminus of the street at Princes Street. Princes Street contains a concrete slab sidewalk on the east side of the street between 669 Princes Street and the intersection of Durham Market North and Princes Street. North of Durham Market North, Princes Street contains a plain concrete slab sidewalk on both the west and east sides of the street (Plate 21). Lambton Street contains a plain concrete sidewalk on both the north and south portions of the street within the Study Area. However, the sidewalk on the north part of Lambton Street is not located within the Study Area.

4.3.2 Trails/Paths

The Study Area contains several pedestrian-only footpaths located within Victoria Park and Queen’s Lookout. The paths located in Victoria Park are paved with interlocking brick pavers and gently meander through Victoria Park to converge towards the park centre (Plate 22). These paths also provide a pedestrian route adjacent to Durham Market North. The paths in Queen’s Lookout are similarly paved with interlocking brick pavers that meander through the parkette and provide a connection with the sidewalk along the west side of Queen Street (Plate 23).

5.0 ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER

5.1 INTRODUCTION

An analysis of building types, architectural types, and materials within an HCD Study Area can yield an understanding of the social and cultural factors that influenced the development of a place over time. Study of the built influences within an HCD Study Area also provides a basis for determining a statement of significance for an HCD where there are architectural values. Furthermore, this analysis in the Study phase is useful if the HCD progresses to the Plan phase and preparation of policies and guidelines so that there is a sound understanding of what important stylistic attributes are to be conserved, and how new development can be an appropriate fit given the historic conditions. The following sections provide an overview of building types, architectural styles, and materials found within the Study Area.

5.1.1 Building Types

The Study Area contains a mix of commercial, residential, and civic buildings. Queen Street contains mostly commercial and civic buildings and Princes Street contains mostly residential buildings. Lambton Street, Durham Market North, and Durham Market South contain a mix of residential and commercial buildings, including residences that have been converted to commercial use but maintain a residential character. Clustered in close proximity to Victoria Park are several civic and institutional structures. These buildings tend to be larger and contain distinctive architectural elements and, in some cases, ornate designs. These buildings include the Old Town Hall, the Post Office and Customs House, Public Library, and Kincardine United Church.

Buildings that have been converted from their original use to a new use, such as a residential structure becoming a commercial office, are considered to be their original building type, unless the building has been heavily modified to the extent that its original use is no longer evident. Buildings can also be modified by signage, particularly when signage has been placed on a residential structure converted into a commercial structure. A summary of the original property uses of the Study Area is contained in Table 2 and Figure 7.

5.1.2 Architectural Styles and Influences

The Study Area contains buildings representative of, or influenced by, a variety of architectural styles. The dominant architectural styles within the Study Area include the Renaissance Revival, Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Gothic Revival styles. These styles were popular during the late 19th and early 20th century and reflect the historical development of the Study Area. The proportion of structures dating to the late 19th and early 20th century reflects the prominent role Kincardine played as an important commercial and industrial community in Bruce County. A summary of architectural styles in the Study Area is contained in Table 3 and Figure 8. The following sections contain brief overviews of the architectural styles found within the Study Area.

Renaissance Revival

The Renaissance Revival style was popular in Ontario from about 1870 to 1910 and evokes Italian architecture during the 16th century, particularly in Florence and Venice. Because these Italian cities were urban areas, the style was commonly used for commercial buildings, civic structures, and churches. Structures built in this style are typically between two and three storeys in height and each level is often defined by a decorative band between storeys. The roofline is typically terminated by large brackets. Other common Renaissance Revival design elements include heavy cornices supported by brackets, window surrounds with large sills, ornate drip moulds or pediments, and segmental arch openings (Blumenson 1990: 96-97). The Renaissance Revival style began to decline in popularity after 1910 as the more simplified and modern Edwardian style was popularized.

The commercial section of the Study Area along Queen Street contains 14 structures built in the Renaissance Revival style, including 747 Queen Street and 788 Queen Street (Plate 24 and Plate 25). The style accounts for 15% of the structures in the Study Area.

Queen Anne

The Queen Anne style, popular roughly between 1880 and 1910, is a mixture of different English and continental European styles. In the United States and Canada, the Queen Anne style frequently included an irregular plan, towers, broad gambles, pediments, projecting bays, and tall chimneys (Blumenson 1990: 102-103). The Queen Anne style was most popularly used for residential construction, particularly for the middle and upper classes, who desired an ornately designed residence to express their newfound social status and wealth (Kyles 2019). The Queen Anne style fell out of popularity after 1910, as the Edwardian style and Period Revival styles became more popular.

The Study Area contains nine Queen Anne style residences, accounting for 10% of the buildings in the Study Area. Within the Study Area, several examples of Queen Anne architecture are present along Princes Street including 731 Princes Street, 737 Princes Street, 791 Princes Street, and 796 Princes Street (Plate 26 and Plate 27).

Second Empire

The Second Empire style originated in France during the rule of Emperor Napoleon III (1852-1870). His reign in France ushered in the Second French Empire, the first French Empire being ruled by his cousin, Napoleon Bonaparte. During Napoleon III’s reign the ornate Paris Opera House was completed, and the style was soon popularized in Canada and the United States. In Ontario, the most common stylistic features of the Second Empire style are a mansard roof and projecting central bay. Building exteriors contain classical stylings and details around doors, windows, and corners, which often contain rusticated quoins (Blumenson 1990: 87-88). The Second Empire style was used in Ontario for both residential and commercial structures.

Within Kincardine, the Second Empire style is more common when compared to other Ontario municipalities, due to the influence of the architect Abraham Joseph Evans, who favoured the style. Evans was born in Wales and moved to Bruce County in 1865 (Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada nd). Second Empire structures within the Study Area includes 793-795 Queen Street, 776 Princes Street, 689 Princes Street, and 343 Durham Market North (Plate 28 and Plate 29). The Study Area contains seven Second Empire structure, accounting for 8% of the buildings in the Study Area.

Gothic Revival

The Gothic Revival style was popular in Ontario during much of the 19th century and reflected an interest in medieval and English Renaissance construction in England. American and English architects of the 19th century provided an aesthetic framework for the style that allowed it to be applied to both small, relatively simple structures and large, ornate structures. The style soon became one of the most popular in Ontario, supplanting the earlier Georgian and Classical Revival design styles. The most common features of Gothic Revival structures in Ontario are a pointed arch window, steep gables, finials, and bargeboard. By the end of the 19th century the Gothic Revival style continued to be popular and was constructed alongside newer styles such as Italianate, Second Empire, and Queen Anne. After the turn of the 20th century the Gothic Revival style fell out of fashion (Blumenson 1990: 37-38).

The Study Area contains examples of both small and large Gothic Revival buildings, including the Gothic Cottage at 750 Princes Street and the Kincardine United Church at 721 Princes Street. This reflects both the popularity and adaptability of the style in Ontario. In total, the Study Area contains seven Gothic Revival structures, accounting for 8% of buildings in the Study Area.

Other Architectural Styles

Other architectural styles and influences exist within the Study Area, including Romanesque Revival, Edwardian, Italianate, Georgian, Mid-Century Modern, Classical Revival, and Period Revival (Plate 32 and Plate 33). For most of these types only a few buildings of this design style are present in the Study Area. Descriptions of these styles and their defining characteristics are included in Appendix A.

Vernacular Architecture

Many buildings in the Study Area fall into the category of vernacular architecture. Vernacular buildings make use of local forms and materials. These buildings may have limited influence from architectural styles or no apparent influence at all. In some cases, vernacular buildings refer to direct regional cues that stem from the settlement history of particular populations. For example, a vernacular dwelling in Ontario may look very different from a vernacular dwelling in Nova Scotia. These distinctions are based on settlement patterns, local material availability, geography, and other variables (Humphreys and Sykes 1974). Within the Study Area, there is no one defined vernacular building type or style. Rather, buildings classified as vernacular tend to be structures that do not strongly demonstrate any one particular architectural style and may contain design elements or decorative details of multiple styles.

Within the Study Area, there are examples of both residential and commercial structures which are built in the vernacular style (Plate 34 and Plate 35). The Study Area contains a total of 28 vernacular structures, accounting for 29% of all buildings.

5.1.3 Building Materials

The main building material used in the Study Area is brick, accounting for 75% of the buildings in the Study Area. Buff brick is the predominant building material used, accounting for 43% of all structures in the Study Area. The buff brick used in Kincardine was locally sourced, much of it coming from the Riggins Brick Works, which used the clay soil of the area to produce the buff bricks. The preponderance of buff brick in the Study Area is not due to aesthetic reasons, but to practical and economic reasons. Since red brick was not locally available it would have been transported to Kincardine by land or sea, increasing the price. In general, brick was a common building material and was frequently utilized in the Renaissance Revival, Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Gothic Revival styles. Brick was also more fireproof and on the 19th century frontier was seen as a distinct advancement from more rudimentary frame and timber structures, helping to mark the transformation from a frontier settlement to a prosperous town.

5.8

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Architectural Character December 6, 2019

Several buildings in the Study Area (18%) that have brick as a primary building material have been painted. Based on evidence of peeling paint, or adjacent building elevations, there is buff brick behind the paint on the majority of these buildings.

Other 19th century building materials in the Study Area include stone and stucco. Stone is not a commonly used building material in Kincardine and only accounts for 3% of buildings in the Study Area. Within the Study Area, stone was more commonly used for building foundations. The relative rarity of stone as a building material in Kincardine is demonstrated by 787 Queen Street. Although this structure has a stone exterior, the stone was transported from Kingston as ballast for a ship. Over time many of the buildings in the Study Area have been altered with the addition of siding or metal applied to the façades. Some modern buildings also contain these materials. The mix of building materials demonstrates the continual evolution of the Study Area, where changes are made to respond to changing stylistic trends and consideration of maintenance costs and economic realities. A summary of building materials in the Study Area is contained in Table 4 and Figure 9.

5.2 SUMMARY OF ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER

The Study Area is representative of typical late 19th and early 20th century commercial and residential construction in southern Ontario (Figure 10 and Table 5). Similar to other communities, the downtown core of Queen Street contains a generally consistent street wall composed of two to three storey buildings at a similar setback using similar building materials and the residential area contains one and one half to two storey residents with front lawns and similar setbacks (Figure 11). The architecture of the Study Area reflects the prosperity of Kincardine at the end of the 19th century as the harbour and railway improved access to wider markets.

The arrival of the railway in the 1870s also allowed the Riggins Brick Works to acquire modern brick making technology, allowing for the mass production of buff bricks, and leading to the replacement of frame and log structures with brick structures. The transition to brick structures from about 1870 to 1900 is reflected in the building construction dates of the Study Area: 61% of the buildings in the Study Area were constructed between 1860 and 1900, when Kincardine was rapidly advancing from a frontier settlement to an established community. The architecture of the Study Area contains popular late 19th and early 20th century styles such as Renaissance Revival, Second Empire, Gothic Revival, and Queen Anne. The decorative embellishments of these buildings reflect the aesthetic sensibilities and general prosperity of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

While some buildings have been altered over the years, several have retained their historic features, or have been restored. There is an opportunity for continued restoration and compatible alterations to support the historic commercial, residential, and civic core of Kincardine.

6.0 VISUAL AND CONTEXTUAL ASSESSMENT

6.1 APPROACHES AND GATEWAYS

Approaches to or from a place are categorized as either detectable or undetectable. Detectable approaches are emphasized by gateways or key features that signal that the space or place is somehow different from a neighbouring place. This may be a shift in the built form, land use, or scale of built or landscape features. Undetectable approaches are just that; entries into a neighbourhood that are not clearly defined or readily discernible from the surrounding context.

Within the Study Area, approaches are a mix of detectable and undetectable. At the south side of the Study Area the approach at Queen Street is detectable in its change from a vegetated residential corridor and bridge crossing over the river to that of a commercial area where denser vegetation thins out (Plate 36). The approach from the north on Queen Street is also detectable. Queen Street north of Lambton continues to be commercial in nature, with a similar type and scale of buildings, however, the section of Queen Street north of Lambton Street contains more residences and detached structures than the Study Area (Plate 37). There is no approach to the Study Area from the south on Princes Street, as the street terminates at the boundary of the Study Area. From the north on Princes Street, the approach is detectable, as the built form changes from a row of contemporary one storey condominiums on the east side of the street to detached one and one half to two and one half storey structures that are residential in form (Plate 38).

Along the side streets, approaches are detectable coming from the west, from mixed commercial and residential corridors along Harbour and Lambton Street to the commercial core of Queen Street, and from the east at Russell Street, which terminates at Victoria Park (Plate 38 and Plate 40). The eastern approach at Lambton Street is also detectable, with a change in built form from contemporary condominium and residential properties to historic detached dwellings.

For the purposes of this study, a gateway is defined as a significant vantage point that is defined by a key feature or features framing and marking the entry to the area. Examples of gateways include bridges (such as an underpass that frames the main access road into an area and creates a literal ‘gate’ through which one passes), archways or discernable frames formed by structures, signage, statues, monuments or other large-scale commemorative devices, or mature vegetation. Within the Study Area, the only definable gateway is the arched entrance to Victoria Park from Durham Market North (Plate 41). While there are notable landmarks near the edges of the Study Area (as discussed in Section 6.6), there are no definable gateways at the approaches to the Study Area.

6.2 ALIGNMENT AND GROUPING OF BUILDINGS

The legibility, or the ease in which people can read and define a neighbourhood, is largely influenced by its layout and the form of the built environment. The alignment and grouping of buildings can contribute greatly to the character of a streetscape. Where buildings have a consistent setback, massing, and form, an uninterrupted rhythm is established along the street, creating a sense of unity and accord. Buildings that are close to the road create an enclosed and intimate streetscape, while large setbacks allow for broader views and an open streetscape character.

Within the commercial stretch of Queen Street, the commercial building setbacks are relatively consistent, with the exception of the public library, which is set back further from the street. For the most part, the buildings along Queen Street abut each other. The commercial section of the Study Area contains a relatively long street block, particularly on the east side of Queen Street, between Durham Market North and Lambton Street, largely uninterrupted by side streets. On Princes Street, Durham Market North, Durham Market South, and Lambton Street there is more variation in building setbacks; however, most buildings are within two metres of neighbouring property setbacks.

Buildings within the Study Area are between one and three storeys in height. The majority of the buildings within the Study Area are two storeys in height. Victoria Park does not have an enclosed structure and 312 Durham Market South is a vacant lot, and thus have no applicable building heights. A summary of building height data for the Study Area by percentage is contained in Table 6 and presented in Figure 11.

6.3 STREETS, LANEWAYS AND SIDEWALKS

Streets, sidewalks, and laneways are not only integral to transportation and movement, but they serve as public conduits and have the ability to play a fundamental role in the vitality of communities. They link people and places together and collectively comprise a significant portion of a community’s public spaces. For the purposes of this HCD Study, the street is the portion of the road in which vehicles travel. The sidewalk is defined as the curb which separates the vehicular realm from the pedestrian realm, grass boulevards and paved walking surfaces. Laneways are private or public throughways that may or may not be part of the formal road network and facilitate movement between buildings and property parcels. Laneways often run along the rear of properties. Each of the above are discussed in subsequent sections below.

6.3.1 Queen Street

Queen Street is the main commercial thoroughfare and the historic commercial hub of Kincardine. To support vehicular and pedestrian traffic on Queen Street, the two-lane roadway is lined with parking spaces on both sides. The sidewalk contains no grass boulevard and is composed of interlocking brick pavers spanning from the storefront to the curb (Plate 42). It is lined with intermittent street furniture and landscaping including trash receptacles, annual and perennial plantings and containers, small street trees, directional signs, informational signs, traffic signals, and street lighting (Plate 43).

The street furniture is uniform in design throughout the Study Area. Benches in the Study Area are made of metal and wood, trash receptacles contain pictures of Kincardine. Directional signs include traditional rectangular green signs with municipal street names in sans-serif capital letters as well as square shaped blue signs with the Kincardine wordmark and directional arrows pointing to destinations in mixed case sans-serif letters (Plate 44). Informational signage on Queen Street is mounted on freestanding metal poles and is at eye level. These signs provide information about local businesses and other pertinent information. Traffic signals include standard octagonal stop signs and traffic lights mounted to decorative poles with masts containing the traffic signals (Plate 45). Affixed to these poles are pedestrian signals, and street lighting. Street lighting is provided by modern lampposts with no masts and traditionally styled luminaires (Plate 46).

6.3.2 Durham Market North and South

Durham Market North and South are both two-lane roads that border Victoria Park. In the vehicular realm, both streets are two-lane roads which contain a row of parking spaces along Victoria Park (Plate 47). The pedestrian realm on Durham Market North consists of a concrete curb, grass boulevard interspaced with small street trees, and a concrete sidewalk, all of which are located on the north side of the street. On the south side of the street, at the southeast corner of Queen Street and Durham Market North, is a small plaza bordering 707 Queen Street and Victoria Park. It is paved with interlocking brick pavers and leads to a walking path within Victoria Park towards the east or, alternatively, down Queen Street towards the south. The south side of Durham Market North is adjacent to Victoria Park and contains no pedestrian elements. The pedestrian realm on Durham Market South begins just north of the commercial property at 330 Durham Market South and includes a concrete curb, narrow grass boulevard, and concrete sidewalk. West of 330 Durham Market South, there is no sidewalk on either side of the street and storefronts abut an asphalt parking area that is not separated from the roadway by grading or curbs (Plate 48).

Street furniture on Durham Market North includes municipal signs, streetlighting, information signs, directional signs, traffic control signs, a fire hydrant, and a large clock. The streetlights are modern fixtures with no masts which contain modern traditionally styled luminaires. Some streetlights contain banners. Adjacent to the intersection of Queen Street and Durham Market North is located the informational sign, a blue sign with the Kincardine wordmark and mixed case sans-serif lettering, a standard octagonal stop sign, and rectangular vinyl green colored municipal streetlights with sans-serif capital lettering. The plaza at the southwest corner contains a planter and four face analog clock (Plate 49 and Plate 50).

Street furniture on Durham Market South is utilitarian. The roadway is lined with municipal utility poles with medium and low voltage wiring. Some poles contain municipal LED streetlighting. Durham Market South also contains a community mailbox, standard octagonal stop sign, and rectangular vinyl green colored municipal street sign.

6.3.3 Princes Street

Princes Street is a predominantly residential street which, in the vehicular realm, is a two-lane road for its entirety within the Study Area. Vehicular parking along Prices Street is located along the east side of the road with the exception of a small parking lot on Princes Street adjacent to Victoria Park. Within the pedestrian realm, Princes Street contains two distinct areas: the portion of Princes Street south of Russell Street and the portion of Princes Street north of Russell Street to Lambton Street.

6.8

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Visual and Contextual Assessment December 6, 2019

Princes Street south of Russell Street contains a concrete sidewalk on the east side of the street. The sidewalk is separated from the roadway by a large grass boulevard and a concrete curb. The west side of Princes Street contains no sidewalk and residential front yards extend to a concrete curb. The east side of Princes Street is lined with wooden utility poles with medium voltage and low voltage wiring, some of which contain municipal streetlighting with LED luminaires (Plate 51). Street furniture is limited to No Parking signs, green coloured rectangular municipal street name signs, and rectangular blue coloured directional signs, both with sans-serif capital letters.

Princes Street north of Russell Street contains concrete sidewalks on both the east and west sides of the street, as well as large grass boulevards, and concrete curbs (Plate 52 and Plate 53). On the east side, the sidewalk widens towards the east to accommodate the foot traffic around the Kincardine United Church. The east side of Princes Street until 757 Princes Street is lined with wooden utility poles with medium voltage and low voltage wiring, some of which contain municipal streetlighting with LED luminaires. North of 757 Princes Street, streetlighting is provided by free standing fixtures with LED luminaires attached to metal masts. Street furniture on this portion of Princes Street includes a square shaped blue sign with the Kincardine wordmark and directional arrows pointing to destinations in mixed case sans-serif letters, this sign is located adjacent to the Kincardine United Church. Other street furniture includes rectangular green coloured municipal street name signs with sans-serif capital letters, traffic control signs, No Parking signs, and fire hydrants. Some fire hydrants have been painted with a tartan colour scheme (Plate 54).

6.3.6 Laneways

The rear of the majority of buildings facing Queen Street, and buildings on the west side of Princes Street between 766 Princes Street and 796 Princes Street, are exposed visually to the public domain by the presence of both public and private laneways and a large municipal parking lot on the east side of Queen Street within the Study Area (Plate 57 and Plate 58). The laneways allow access between Queen Street and both private and public parking areas. The large municipal parking lot can be accessed by pedestrians and vehicles through small laneways on both Queen Street and Princes Street (Plate 59). A pedestrian only laneway connects Lambton Street with the municipal parking lot. From a visual perspective, the building façades are visible from the laneways, including in the parking lot, but do not contain the same level of architectural detailing as seen from Queen Street and Princes Street (Plate 60).

6.4 VEGETATION AND LANDSCAPING

6.4.1 Public Realm

Vegetation and landscaping in the public realm includes vegetation located along streets within the boulevards, in parks, or in other municipally owned areas. Vegetation includes plantings such as annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees. Along Queen Street, small street trees are located in the portion of the sidewalk between the concrete curb and the interlocking brick pavers that are arranged in a basket- weave pattern. The trees were planted in the 1990s and some have been replaced, the trees are a mix of deciduous species including honey locust, maple, and flowering pear (Plate 61).

Within the Study Area on Queen Street, there are no intermediate or mature street trees. Historic photos of Queen Street show intermittent shade tree coverage. Busy roadways with large sidewalks are a challenging environment for street trees to flourish. The average urban street tree has a life expectancy of seven to ten years. This is due to an inadequate volume of soil for tree root growth and the highly compacted nature of soil underneath sidewalks and roadways. Additional stress is caused by frequent salting during winter months (Cornell University 2009). Other vegetation in the public realm along Queen Street includes annuals contained in whisky barrel styled planters, ornamental grass planted adjacent to street trees, and hanging baskets with annuals affixed to streetlighting.

Victoria Park contains various coniferous and deciduous trees of various species and age. Tree species present in the park include blue spruce, maple, horse chestnut, and flowering pear. These trees are not planted in a formal pattern and form a partial canopy over Victoria Park. The trees are surrounded by a lawn, some of which is patchy due to shade coverage and pedestrian foot traffic. The northeast and southeast corners of Victoria Park contain flowerbeds landscaped with ornamental grass, flowering perennials, and annuals. Adjacent to Victoria Park, Durham Market South has no street trees planted along the grass boulevard, while Durham Market North has a grass boulevard planted with intermediate sized crimson Norway maple trees (Plate 62).

6.12

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Visual and Contextual Assessment December 6, 2019

Princes Street and Lambton Street within the public realm contain grass boulevards, some portions of which contain flower beds maintained by the residents of the adjacent properties. The boulevard contains a variety or deciduous street trees of small, intermediate, and mature size (Plate 63 and Plate 64). The majority of these street trees are maple trees, including silver maple and red maple. Generally, the tree canopy is intermittent on both streets, and is thickest in the Study Area on Princes Street from Durham Market North to 796 Princes Street.

6.4.2 Private Realm

Due to the fact that storefronts abut the sidewalk on Queen Street within the Study Area there is limited vegetation within the private realm of the commercial part of the Study Area. The rear of properties abut paved parking or walking surfaces and also contain limited vegetation. The majority of vegetation within the private realm is located within the residential and residential converted to commercial areas within the Study Area, located on Durham Markets North and South, Princes Street, and Lambton Street. The majority of these residences (including converted residences) contain lawns, foundation plantings, and ornamental shrubs. Many of these residences are also landscaped with deciduous and coniferous trees, ranging from small recently planted trees to mature trees. Tree species located on private property within the Study Area mostly include pine, spruce, and maple (Plate 65). Many properties also include gardens landscaped with various shrubs, annuals, and perennials (Plate 66).

6.5 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE

Historically, parks and open space provided areas of refuge amongst rapid urban development associated with the industrial revolution. These green spaces allowed for nature to be accessible to all city dwellers. Today, parks and open space still perform much the same function, providing reprieve from the urban growth and intensification of the 21st century. These spaces also support active and passive recreational uses, entertainment and local gathering space. The Study Area contains Victoria Park, an area approximately 0.67 hectares located between Durham Market North and Durham Market South, directly behind the old Town Hall (Plate 67). The park contains open maintained lawn, interlocking paver pathway, gazebo shelter, picnic tables, numerous mature trees, and distinctive features such as inoperable cannons and a fountain dedicated to Queen Victoria (Plate 68 and Plate 69). The park is a vegetated centerpiece in the community and serves as a popular summer market and festival location.

Across from Victoria Park, on the west side of Queen Street is Queen’s Lookout, a small parkette overlooking the lakeshore. The parkette contains maintained lawn, interlocking paver pathway, picnic tables, and landscaped garden beds (Plate 70).

6.6 LANDMARKS

The Study Area contains several prominent structures that are considered landmarks because of their architectural elements, important historical role in the community, contextual position within the Study Area, or a combination of those factors. All of these structures except one (721 Princes Street) are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Civic and religious landmarks within the Study Area include the Old Town Hall (707 Queen Street), the Post Office and Customs Houses (719-723 Queen Street), Public Library (727 Queen Street), and Kincardine United Church (721 Princes Street). Landmarks within the Study Area that are private residences include the imposing Second Empire residences located at 689 Princes Street, 343 Durham Market North, and 776 Princes Street. A summary of identified landmark structures in the Study Area is contained in Table 7.

The Old Town Hall, Post Office and Customs House, and Public Library are all located adjacent to each other on the east side of Queen Street. Together these structures are prominent features in the downtown and contain a massing and scale larger than most neighbouring structures on Queen Street (Plate 71). Their relationship to each other, and proximity to Victoria Park, form the civic core of the Study Area and are easily distinguishable and recognizable from the surrounding commercial properties on Queen Street. The Kincardine United Church (721 Princes Street) is a landmark structure because of its size and the high degree of craftsmanship exhibited through its architectural style. The three landmark residences within the Study Area are Second Empire style structures which contain prominent projecting bays with cupolas. These cupolas are some of the tallest and most prominent residential elements within the Study Area. They are clearly visible when walking along Princes Street and Durham Market North and break above the tree line and surrounding residences (Plate 72). Mapping of the identified landmark structures within the Study Area and their relationship with each other is contained in Figure 12.

6.7 VIEWS AND VISTAS

The visual and contextual assessment of views and vistas in the Study Area is based on the analytic process called viewscape analysis. There are two basic components to the viewscape analysis process, the observer point and the viewscape itself. For the purpose of this HCD Study the observer point is defined as the fixed vantage point from which a view is seen. Viewscapes are defined by the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada as the visual relationship between the observer and landscape feature, and may include scenes, panoramas, visual axes, and sight lines (Parks Canada 2010). Viewscapes may include a foreground, middle ground, and background. The boundaries of viewscapes are usually high points in the landscape such as ridges and hills, or the built environment, such as buildings or landscape features that will obstruct, frame, or truncate the view. Viewscapes may also be influenced by seasons, such as mature deciduous trees before and after leaf drop.

Much like the built form, the identification of a viewscape does not necessarily suggest that it is a heritage viewscape. While a building may be old, it may not contain sufficient cultural heritage value or interest to merit protection under the OHA. The same can be said for viewscapes; while one may be identified, it does not necessarily equate to an important heritage viewscape. To articulate viewscapes that are linked to history of the Study Area, there are two key types of viewscapes with the Study Area:

• Panoramic Views, which are defined by the Ontario Heritage Toolkit (Ministry of Culture 2006) as broader, non-enclosed views; they may contain a visual mosaic of varied features, or broader ‘textual’ patterns of activities, and

• Vistas, which are defined in the Ontario Heritage Toolkit (Ministry of Culture 2006) as views enclosed by buildings/structures, landforms, and vegetation from a stationary vantage point.

There are several different types of vistas:

o Continuing Corridor: The vista is of a streetscape confined by buildings on either side of the road and is experienced by primarily vehicular, pedestrian, and cycling modalities

o Filtered Corridor (due to topography): This is a continuing vista where the depth of view is shortened by topography (e.g. road grade dropping) and is typically experienced by primarily vehicular, pedestrian, and cycling modalities

o Terminating Corridor: The vista is of a streetscape confined by buildings on either side of the road and terminated by buildings at end of street (‘T’ intersection) or other features. The vista is experienced primarily by vehicular, pedestrian, and cycling modalities

Within the Study Area, vistas along the north-south streets such as Queen Street and Princes Avenue are continuing corridors with the view lined by the tight street wall of buildings (along Queen Street). Along Princes Avenue vistas are of a mixture of vegetation and residential buildings, framed by small, intermediate, and mature boulevard trees (Plate 73 and Plate 74).

Vistas along east-west streets are a mixture of continuing, filtered, and terminating corridors. Looking east along Lambton Street is a continuing corridor framed by buildings and vegetation. Looking west along Harbour Street, Lambton Street, and Durham Market South the vistas are filtered corridors, with buildings

6.19

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Visual and Contextual Assessment December 6, 2019

and vegetation lining the corridor and depth in view shortened by the drop in grade towards the lake (Plate 75). The vista looking west from Durham Market North is a combination filtered and terminating corridor, as half of the vista terminates at 761 Queen Street, while the other is open to the lake but shortened by the drop in grade (Plate 76). Looking east from Harbour Street, the view is a terminating corridor ending at the commercial buildings on Queen Street. Looking east along Durham Market North and South, vistas terminate at the buildings on Princes Street (Plate 77).

There is also a panoramic vista within the Study Area, from the Queen’s Lookout at Queen Street south of Victoria Park. The panoramic vista includes views across the lake, the river valley as it meets the lake, sections of Harbour Street buildings, and the marina (Plate 78).

Municipal Policy Framework December 6, 2019

7.0 MUNICIPAL POLICY FRAMEWORK

7.1 KINCARDINE OFFICIAL PLAN HERITAGE POLICIES

The current Official Plan (OP) for the Municipality was adopted by Municipal Council in June of 2006 and has undergone several amendments since that time (Municipality of Kincardine 2006). The most recent consolidation is dated June 2012, there has been several amendments since then. The OP sets out several policies related to preserving heritage resources, including the following policies from Section C3 ‘Heritage Conservation’, which state that:

• The conservation and preservation of buildings, areas and landscapes of historic or architectural significance, including archaeological sites, shall be encouraged. (C3.1)

• Buildings and sites in the Municipality which are of particular historic or aesthetic value will be protected through the co-operation of Council and the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC), Heritage Kincardine. (C3.2.1)

• Significant built cultural heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved (C3.2.2.)

• All appropriate means available will be used to ensure development and redevelopment proposals are compatible with the heritage resources and existing character of the Community. (C3.3.1)

• Development and site alteration shall only be permitted on lands containing archaeological resources or areas of archaeological potential if the significant archaeological resources have been conserved by removal and documentation, or by preservation on site. Where significant archaeological resources must be preserved on site, only development and site alteration which maintain the heritage integrity of the site may be permitted. (C3.3.6)

• Mitigative measures and/or alternative development approaches may be required in order to conserve the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property affected by the adjacent development or site alteration. (C3.3.6)

The OP also contains policies that encourage organizations such as Heritage Kincardine to assist Council in coordinating ongoing façade improvement projects, promoting the use of design guidelines, and the identification of buildings and districts suitable for historic designation (C3.3.3-3.3.4). The OP provides a set of guidelines that may be used when assessing the value of buildings and districts for historical designation:

a) Has the building or property been associated with the life of an historic person; b) Is the building an important example of the architectural or construction style of a specific period, or the work of an important builder, designer, or architect; c) Are comparable structures rare; d) Does the Community support the designation of the building or property based on its architectural and visual values; e) Does the building or property retain a large part of its original character and craftsmanship; f) The value of the building as a landmark or as an integral part of a distinctive are or neighbourhood of the Community

7.1

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Municipal Policy Framework December 6, 2019

g) The building’s architectural features such as style, plan, and the sequence of spaces; use of materials and details including windows, doors, signs, ornaments; colours, textures, and lighting; and, the relationships of all these to neighborhood buildings. (OP C3.3.4)

Direction is also provided within the OP for the establishment of “heritage façade design guidelines”. This is achieved through a Façade Improvement Program. The program provides direction to Council, municipal staff, members of local groups, and individual property owners (and their tenants) interested in improving the visual appearance of the downtown (C3.3.5).

With respect to the designation of HCDs, Section H7.2 of the OP states:

• Council may investigate and adopt other measures available for the implementation of policies concerning heritage resource conservation. These shall include:

a) Legislation pursuant to The Municipal Act, more especially tree preservation, sign regulation and improvement area designation; b) The designation of demolition control areas affected by the maintenance and occupancy by-law; and c) Subdivision agreements requiring the retention or protection of heritage resources 7.2 LAND USE POLICIES

The Study Area primarily contains lands designated as “General Commercial” and “Residential” within the Municipality’s OP, but also includes a small number of properties designated as “Institutional”, “Natural Environment”, “Development Constraint”, and a special policy area “Area Specific Policy D2.5.12. Each designation is discussed further below

7.2.1 General Commercial Land Use Policies

Policies for “General Commercial” land use in the OP fall under the goal of encouraging a “well balanced and varied Commercial economy” (Policy D2.1). The goals of “General Commercial” land use policies include maintaining the downtown commercial area as the Municipality’s primary focus of commercial activity and that commercial areas be encouraged to develop in harmony with residential areas. “General Commercial” uses in the downtown core permits residential development above commercial units. “General Commercial” land use policies also require signage that does not detract from the visual quality of the area and encourages the maintenance and enhancement of commercial properties. Policy D2.5.4 specifically encourages downtown and Harbourfront improvement programs to strengthen ties between the downtown and harbour. This also seeks to improve the commercial core by “devising and implementing improvements to building façades, sidewalks, roads, traffic and pedestrian circulation and landscaping” with regard to heritage policies in Section C4 of the OP.

7.2

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Municipal Policy Framework December 6, 2019

7.2.2 Residential Land Use Policies

Policies for “Residential” land use are found in Section D of the OP. The objectives of the “Residential” land use section focus on permitting residential development that are in accordance with the policies of the OP. This includes encouraging a range of housing types, buffering residential areas from high density residential and other land uses (where adverse impacts would be created otherwise), encouraging affordable housing, and monitoring the amount of land available in the municipality for residential development.

Permitted uses within the “Residential” land use policies include low density residential (single family detached, semi-detached and duplex), apartment dwelling units, medium density triplexes, quadruplexes, townhouses, high-density housing (apartments), and group homes. “Residential” areas are also permitted to include complimentary and compatible land uses such as institutional, open space, home occupation, local commercial use, day nurseries, and bed and breakfast establishments. Secondary suites and garden suites are also permitted, subject to the policies of the OP. The OP identifies a preference towards low-density residential development, noting that 70% of the residential stock within the municipality shall be low-rise (Policy D1.4.8). The “Residential” land use section includes a general policy that the “quality of existing residential development in areas designated for continued residential use will be maintained and, where possible, improved” (Policy D1.4.1).

The OP requires that “all new residential development in older established residential areas will be encouraged to be developed in keeping with the overall character of such areas” (D1.4.18). The policies of the OP also require that care be taken in residential areas to preserve existing trees, including municipal street trees (D1.4.19). Additionally, the OP requires that where new development occurs next to development that is of significantly lower density, transitions are required, such as landscaped buffers (D1.4.20).

7.2.3 Official Plan Amendment #8

Official Plan Amendment (OPA) #8 was adopted on June 14, 2014 and applies to the property described as “Lot 6 S/S/ Durham Market, Townplot of Penetangore, Municipality of Kincardine (geographic Town of Kincardine)”, also known as 312 Durham Market South (Municipality of Kincardine 2014). OPA #8 amends the land use from “General Commercial” to “Special Policy Area No. D2.5.13” which permits an apartment dwelling as a principle use. The lot is currently vacant and is intended for condominium development in the future.

7.3

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Municipal Policy Framework December 6, 2019

7.2.4 Institutional Land Use Policies

The property located at 705 Princes Street (the Bruce Power Training Centre) is designated as “Institutional” land use. “Institutional” land use objectives encourage institutional uses near the core, multiple uses of institutional buildings, the development of cultural facilities, and creative use of design to blend institutional uses into their surroundings. “Institutional” land uses include both public and private institutions and are permitted in residential areas if they are small in scale (D5.3). “Institutional” land use policies require that institutional uses do not disrupt adjacent land uses, provide adequate buffering, screening or fencing between residential uses, and adequate off-street screened or buffered parking areas is provided.

7.2.5 Natural Environment Land Use Policies

A small portion of the Study Area, known as the Queen’s Lookout (the west side of Queen Street at the south end of the Study Area), is designated as “Natural Environment” lands in Section D7 of the OP. The OP sets forth goals to protect and preserve natural heritage features in these spaces and maintain and improve ecological and biodiversity. “Natural Environment” policies primarily apply to lands that border the Penetangore River or contain tributaries, valley slopes, watercourses, the Lake Huron shoreline, bluffs, or natural heritage features. In general, policies for “Natural Environment” lands direct development away from these areas to protect and preserve them for the long term. Permitted uses in these areas include agriculture, preservation/conservation activities, wildlife areas, public parks, forestry, and passive outdoor recreation. In general, construction of new buildings, placing or removing fill, development and site alteration are not permitted in “Natural Environment” lands (D7.5).

7.2.6 Development Constraint Land Use Policies

The Development Constraint overlay is applied to the commercial areas on the west side of Queen Street between Queen’s Lookout and Harbour Street. The area is subject to policies within Section D7.9 of the OP related to erosion control. While these lands are designated as General Commercial, they are also subject to environmental policies that constrain development due to slope erosion control concerns. New development is not permitted in these areas where the Municipality or Conservation Authority determine that the slope stability may be compromised.

7.2.7 Area Specific Policy D2.5.12

Special Policy Area No. D2.5.12 was established by OPA Amendment #2. It includes the lands described as “Part of Lots ‘A’ and ‘B’ W/S Queen, Plan 61, Municipality of Kincardine (geographic Township of Kincardine)”. The policy allows for dwelling units, including apartment dwellings, in addition to the “General Commercial” land use.

7.3 OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW

The Municipality is currently undergoing a review of its OP in accordance with the Planning Act and PPS. The Draft OP, prepared by MHBC Planning, was released in October 2019 for public review. The intent of the OP review is to meet the requirements of a municipality to review the OP every 10 years, and to ensure it is in conformity with the Planning Act, the PPS, the County OP, and any other updates in applicable provincial legislation.

In general, the updated OP provides policies that support the identification, use, and conservation of cultural heritage resources. Under Section H7, the new OP also provides policies to enable the municipality to provide financial incentives for heritage conservation and to create enhanced property standards by-laws with respect to heritage.

With regard to land use policies applicable to the HCD Study, the updated OP includes policies for residential land use to permit the conversion of residential buildings located adjacent to core commercial buildings for office or small-scale commercial shops to transition between downtown and residential neighborhoods. It also permits compatible institutional uses within residential designation while providing direction to convert vacant or under-utilize upper or rear units of commercial properties to increase intensification in commercial areas.

7.4 ZONING BY-LAW

The Municipality of Kincardine Zoning By-law was adopted in 2012 and has undergone several amendments since that time (Municipality of Kincardine 2012a). The majority of the Study Area is comprised of General Commercial (C1), and Residential (R3 and R4) zoned properties; however, there are lots within the Study Area that are zoned as Open Space (OS), Institutional (I), and Environmental Protection (EP). Table 8 summarizes permitted uses in each of the zones, and applicable zoning provisions. Provisions applicable to the HCD Study include those that factor into the visual and contextual character of the area, outlined in Section 6, including height, front yard setbacks, and maximum lot coverage.

7.6

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Municipal Policy Framework December 6, 2019

7.5 COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLANS

Community Improvement Plans (CIPs) are a tool under Section 28 of the Planning Act which provides a significant opportunity to support and encourage improvements to private properties that enhance the heritage character of the area through financial incentives and municipal leadership initiatives (Government of Ontario 1990). It is noted that the Municipality may have an existing CIP Area By-law, but that no CIP document has been prepared or adopted.

Properties on Queen Street within the Study Area are located within the Kincardine CIP area, as identified by Bruce County. These properties are eligible for the “Spruce the Bruce” Community Development Program, to receive grants for façade improvement, including restoration work. Grants provide 50% of the façade improvement costs up to $3,000 for projects under $10,000, and projects above $10,000 may be eligible for up to an additional $1,000. Guidelines recommend that façade improvement projects add to the character of the downtown, but do not provide specific guidance with regard to heritage buildings.

7.6 SIGNAGE BY-LAW FOR HERITAGE BUILDINGS

On April 6, 2016, the Municipality adopted the Guidelines for Signage on Heritage Properties (Municipality of Kincardine 2016a). The guidelines apply to buildings that are designated under Part IV of the OHA. The guidelines provide direction for signage design, materials, construction, size, colour, lettering, and lighting. Overall, the guidelines encourage signage that is complementary and compatible to the heritage context of the building, including scale, and discourage neon/internal illumination and digital signage.

7.7 DELEGATED AUTHORITY BY-LAW

On October 5, 2016, the Municipality enacted a delegated authority by-law, delegating authority from Council to the Municipality for properties designated under Part IV of the OHA (Municipality of Kincardine 2016b). This by-law allows Municipal Staff to make decisions with respect to alterations of heritage properties that do not have a significant negative impact on the property’s heritage attributes that are contained in the designating by-law. Delegated authority can help to streamline the process for heritage alteration permits. The delegated authority by-law does not currently extend to properties designated under Part V of the OHA.

7.8 DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY

Development is proposed for the property at 312 Durham Market South. The property is presently a vacant lot. A six storey condominium building is proposed for the site; however, no formal applications have been made to the Municipality as of the date of this report.

7.9 OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS

The Study Area contains a mix of commercial and residential uses, public parks, and community facilities as well as some additional site-specific uses that together create a rich environment for local residents and seasonal tourists. It is part of a walkable community with access to many recreational, retail, and civic amenities. With historic buildings set against the harbour backdrop, there is opportunity for reinvestment in both commercial and residential properties that supports and enhances the heritage character of the Study Area. The Municipality’s OP contains a number of policies that support and guide the identification and preservation of heritage resources. Based on a review of the existing land use designations and accompanying policies within the OP and implementing Zoning By-law, the planning framework generally supports a vibrant, mixed use character within the Study Area which is compatible with the overall heritage character. While any future development will be required to show compatibility with neighbouring land uses, it is noted that the existing commercial zoning (C1) does not contain height restrictions.

Heights in commercial without maximum limits on heights have potential to impact the low-rise heritage character of the area. This could be addressed either through zoning review, or preferably through an HCD Plan that would provide detailed guidance specifically for the heritage area for how new development can be compatible to the heritage surroundings. In some cases, this can mean restricting height limits for new development within an HCD, and/or identifying policies and guidelines on how taller buildings should be addressed in the HCD, where they are considered to be appropriate. The community’s proximity to the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station has played a role in its 20th century development and has some implications for Kincardine’s current planning context. Several attendees at the PICs and Municipal Staff noted an increase in small-scale office use with no public interaction in the commercial core and residential neighbourhood of the Study Area. There are many Bruce Power supplier offices located within the proposed HCD, which can be beneficial for local commercial establishments helping to increase foot traffic and supporting business in the downtown core. In some cases, the presence of these offices could take up what may otherwise be used for retail or local commercial services. In the Study Area, a further increased presence of satellite or home offices has the potential to alter the commercial or residential character of historic buildings over the longer term. HCDs do not regulate the use of an area, and since these uses are permitted under the current zoning and re-zoning may not be feasible, specific design guidelines for commercial/office conversion in these areas or HCD guidelines may be the best tools to retain heritage fabric and character.

In addition to OP policies and Zoning By-laws, CIPs under Section 28 of the Planning Act can also help facilitate the preservation, conservation, and restoration of heritage resources through financial and municipal incentive programs. It is noted that the Municipality may have an existing CIP Area By-law, but the opportunity exists to prepare a site-specific CIP that speaks specifically to heritage features. This could provide financial incentives to commercial property owners to restore their building facades and provide specific design guidelines to be followed through this process so that façade restoration or alterations continue to contribute to the character of the area.

7.8

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Municipal Policy Framework December 6, 2019

It is also recommended that the HCD designation is pursued, the Municipality consult with Heritage Kincardine and seek Council’s approval to extend Staff’s delegated authority to include decisions for certain alterations to properties designated under Part V of the Act.

Public Consultation December 6, 2019

8.0 PUBLIC CONSULTATION

8.1 METHODOLOGY

Public consultation is an important part of any HCD Study as it enables a local community to provide input on what they value in their heritage neighbourhoods. Community values are important in identifying historical research themes, information about specific properties, and the types of features within an HCD Study Area that may be valued as heritage attributes. Public consultation events are also important opportunities for the Project Team to provide information to the public about the project. Some information presented may include the fundamental goals of HCDs in general, details on the Study process and overall designation process, as well as answering questions or responding to concerns from the community. The Project Team’s goal for the Kincardine HCD is to provide consultation that is:

• Open and inclusive, allowing for a broad level of communication within the study area and throughout the municipality • Transparent, such that stakeholders and residents clearly understand the decision-making process • Traceable, so that consultation documentation is a comprehensive summary of how and why the public and stakeholders are consulted and informed, how their comments and concerns have been addressed, and the commitments to carry forward into report preparation • Frequent, occurring early and often so that the public is informed of important milestones in the project • Easy to understand and communicate; technical details should be communicated clearly, in plain language, and public information materials should be graphically focused • Consistent with the information presented through other municipal initiatives, where applicable

For the Kincardine HCD Study, public consultation and engagement occurred in several forms, including:

• Public Information Centres (PIC) to allow property owners and stakeholders to congregate in a relaxed setting, with multiple opportunities for information sharing and discussion with the Project Team • Project website for project related information, notices, timelines, and final documents • Key messages or Frequently Asked Questions will be created to support the project and posted on the project web site • Display boards to help convey key information at Open Houses and uploaded on the project web page • Public engagement software (e.g. Bang the Table or “Kincardine Talks”) to administer online engagement opportunities and document public input • Directed notifications (letters of invitation) distributed to property owners prior to key events as a tool to inform and remind of upcoming public engagement activities • Advertisements placed in local newspaper(s) to advertise public meetings

Public Consultation December 6, 2019

8.2 SUMMARY OF CONSULTATION RESULTS

The first PIC event, held on October 2, 2019 at the Kincardine Centre for the Arts, was a drop-in open house format event, where attendees could view panels with information and ask questions or provide comments to Project Team and Municipal Staff members dispersed throughout the room. The PIC event provided background on the HCD process, objectives and tasks of the Study, as well as a historical review of the Study Area. A questionnaire/comment form was available at the PIC to allow people to provide input on the heritage values of the Study Area (See Appendix D).

A total of 18 people signed in at the first PIC, including property owners in the Study Area, business owners in the Study Area, members of Heritage Kincardine, and members of the general public. Following the PIC, 17 comment sheets were received, as was an email from a property owner prior to the PIC event.

At the first PIC, attendees generally appeared supportive of the concept of an HCD in Kincardine and identified what they considered to be heritage attributes that reflected the area’s character. The majority of respondents to the questionnaire either had no comment on the possible boundary of an HCD or confirmed that they believed the current Study Area to be an appropriate boundary. Three respondents suggested including sections of Harbour Street within a potential HCD boundary. There were some members of the public who expressed concern over additional property restrictions or the perceived expenses of owning properties in an HCD and questioned whether individual Part IV designation would help to preserve the character of the area in lieu of Part V designation.

A second PIC event was held on November 18, 2019 at the Kincardine Library to gather feedback on the draft report and recommendations prepared to date. As with the first PIC event, the second PIC event was a drop-in open house format event, where attendees could view panels with information and ask questions or provide comments to the Project Team and Municipal Staff dispersed throughout the room. The PIC event provided information on the findings of the HCD Study, including a review of the effects of history on the proposed HCD and a summary of the architectural character, visual character, building alignment and grouping, approaches and gateways, landmarks, review of the first PIC, heritage evaluation, statement of cultural heritage value or interest, proposed boundary of the HCD, and recommendations. A questionnaire/comment form was available at the PIC to allow people to provide input on the proposed HCD boundary, the heritage attributes of the proposed HCD, and the key objectives of the HCD.

A total of 15 people signed in at the second PIC, including property owners in the Study Area. One comment from a property owner was received after the PIC via the Kincardine Talks platform.

At the second PIC, attendees generally appeared supportive of the HCD Study. However, one attendee expressed a concern that the adoption of an HCD Plan could increase the complexity and number of permits required by property owners to make changes to their properties. The comment form one respondent expressed support for extending the proposed HCD boundary to include part of Harbour Street and for enacting a moratorium on changes to properties within the Study Area for one year or until the proposed HCD Plan is adopted. Under Subsection 40.1(2) of the Ontario Heritage Act a municipality

8.2

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Public Consultation December 6, 2019 has the option to put into place interim control measures within the Study Area to set limitations or prohibit alterations to properties. However, the interim control measure must be put in place at the commencement of the HCD Study. The Ontario Heritage Toolkit only recommends interim control measures “where there is a clear and immediate threat to the integrity of the area” (Government of Ontario 2006). Therefore, in the case of the Kincardine HCD Study, this is not applicable.

Evaluation of Heritage Character December 6, 2019

9.0 EVALUATION OF HERITAGE CHARACTER

9.1 INTRODUCTION

Evaluation of the Study Area for merit as an HCD follows the methodology and criteria outlined in Sections 1.3 and 2.3. This involves assessing the Study Area to determine if it contains a concentration of heritage resources, a framework of structuring elements, a sense of visual coherence and is distinct from other areas. The presence of these characteristics is often interwoven with other important factors, such as:

• Historical values, identified through association with themes, events or people that are significant to the community

• Design values, which are evident though the collection of architectural styles and details, vernacular design, and the integrity of these physical features, and

• Contextual values that are comprised of the unique site characteristics of a study area, such as: the combination of landmark structures, vegetation, landscaped areas and/or open spaces; the land use(s) of an area; spatial patterns and circulation networks; site arrangements; boundary markers and; historic views.

The identification of heritage character was determined, in part, with input from the community through the PIC open house and comment sheets. Analysis of the Study Area’s history and the results of the inventory also contributed to determining the merit of HCD designation by identifying key themes, patterns, and typologies that helped to identify heritage attributes and overall district character.

The inventory of Study Area properties and analysis contained in Sections 4.0 to 6.0 identified that there were three distinct areas of land use and resource types within the Study Area: the Queen Street commercial core, the Princes Street Residential neighbourhood, and the mixed commercial and residential area of Durham Market North and South surrounding the landscaped open space area of Victoria Park. These three areas are referred to in the following sections as ‘character areas’.

9.2 A CONCENTRATION OF HERITAGE RESOURCES

A concentration of heritage resources refers to the collection of buildings, structures, landscapes or landscape elements, and/or natural features that are linked together by a shared context, culture, use, or history. It is what makes an HCD valuable as the sum of its parts, rather than just individual features.

Within the HCD Study Area, based on research and analysis, contributing heritage resources are defined as properties that were constructed or designed in the mid-19th to early 20th century that retain the historic building fabric or heritage features that distinguish them as older buildings of a particular era, type, or place. Specifically, these resources date to the period of development of Kincardine as a harbour town. This includes the commercial enterprises that employed and served the community and had connections to the harbour or manufacturing areas, residences where many of the Town’s prominent commercial property owners lived, and civic buildings and open space areas that served the community.

9.1

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Evaluation of Heritage Character December 6, 2019

Within the proposed Kincardine HCD, 72% of buildings were constructed between 1860 and 1920. Over half (54%) are representative or influenced by architectural styles such as Renaissance Revival (15%), Queen Anne (10%), and Second Empire (8%). An additional 29% of the buildings are vernacular, which may have less ornamentation but reflect local or regional materials, influences, patterns or themes. In total, 80% of buildings within the HCD Study Area are contributing resources. A summary of contributing buildings and non-contributing buildings in the Study Area is presented in Figure 13.

9.3 A FRAMEWORK OF STRUCTURED ELEMENTS

A framework of structured elements are components that define or contribute to an area’s character, linking individual resources together and forming discernable boundaries of an area. These may include major natural features (topography, landforms, landscapes, or water courses) or built features such as road or street patterns, nodes or intersections, landmarks, approaches, or defined edges.

The concentration of heritage resources is linked by a framework of structured elements. These include the linear corridors of Queen Street, Princes Street, and the more mixed-use streets between the commercial and residential neighbourhoods along Durham Market North and South. The streets in the Study Area have been modernized over time but follow the structured grid-like pattern established from the 19th century town survey. While connections to the lakeshore have changed, filtered vistas to the lake from several of the east-west streets are a physical reminder of Kincardine’s connection to the lake and the role it played in the community’s development. The approach to the area from the south after crossing the bridge over the Penetangore River provides a natural boundary to the southern edge of the Study Area.

9.4 A SENSE OF VISUAL COHERANCE

A sense of visual coherence is another factor that makes an HCD valuable as an area that is more than the sum of its individual parts. HCDs often have a visual coherence that is indicative of their heritage value as being of a particular place or time. The visual coherence comes from similarities in resource types, scale, materials, massing, setbacks, or landscape patterns.

The Study Area has three distinct character areas: the commercial core along Queen Street; Princes Street residential area and; the mixed commercial, residential and open space area surrounding Victoria Park on Durham Market North and South (Figure 14). The three areas are linked by their historical context in the development of Kincardine as a harbour town; the commercial core was the heart of the community, adjacent to the Durham Market area and later open space parkland of Victoria Park. Many of the residences in the Princes Street residential area were connected to merchants within the commercial core, and their architectural qualities reflect the prosperity of the owners at the time. The 19th century park, with mature trees, pathways, open space, fountain and historical cannons, has been a gathering space in the centre of the community since the late 19th century.

Within each character area there is a sense of visual coherence. The commercial core of Queen Street contains a street wall of primarily two and three storey brick buildings predominantly in vernacular and Renaissance Revival architectural styles, with consistent setbacks to the sidewalk. Similarly, houses in

9.2

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Evaluation of Heritage Character December 6, 2019

the residential and mixed-use areas are also between one and three storeys, and a mix of vernacular and predominantly Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, and Second Empire styles, set in a landscape of generous lots with manicured lawn, landscaping and mature trees on boulevards and within the park. The Durham Market area has a mix of residential buildings, residential buildings converted to commercial use, commercial buildings and civic buildings, surrounding Victoria Park. The mix of structures allows for a visual transition between the commercial and residential areas. While the resources within this area are more varied than the commercial and residential areas, there is still visual coherence provided by a predominance of buildings dating to the late 19th and early 20th century with similar setbacks, building materials and heights.

The character areas are tied together by an overall low-rise built form, predominance of brick as a building material, and the presence of streetscaping, mature boulevard trees and parkland. The shorter mixed-use east-west streets transition between commercial and residential, connecting the character areas physically and visually. It is these elements that tie together the differences in architectural styles and influences, building types, and land uses as an area that can be experienced as a collective whole.

9.5 A DISTINCTIVENESS

The combination of the other characteristics identified previously is often what makes an HCD area special in comparison to other areas in a community. HCDs are usually distinct from the surrounding area by virtue of the resources they contain or the ways in which they are situated.

The combined characteristics identified in the previous sections result in an area that is distinctive from its surroundings. The Queen Street character area contains a streetwall with few interruptions, built to the sidewalk frontage, creating an enclosed corridor where the visitor’s experience is framed by the historic brick buildings and urban setting. The Durham Market and Victoria Park area is unique within the community, and reflective of historic settlement and survey patterns in the core area of the market square that were not established or retained elsewhere in Kincardine. The Princes Street residential area is distinguished from other residential areas by its generous lots and grassed boulevard with mature trees. Finally, while other commercial and residential areas surrounding the Study Area contain older buildings, the concentration is not as consistent, with more scattered examples of ornate architectural design.

The majority of buildings within the Study Area (80%) are identified as contributing resources as they were constructed in the late 19th and early 20th century and reflect the prosperous status of the Town of Kincardine during the late 19th century. The physical appearance of the Study Area, with its mix of buildings from different construction periods and of different architectural styles, is indicative of the historical development of Kincardine. Late 19th century structures reflect the prosperity of Kincardine during this period, as the harbour was an important destination, numerous manufacturers were located in the town, and the railway facilitated the movement of people and goods from the more industrialized and populated parts of southern Ontario. The Study Area’s commercial structures are predominantly from this period, reflecting the commercial opportunities available in the town during the late 19th century as an important commercial hub and harbour in Bruce County.

9.3

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Evaluation of Heritage Character December 6, 2019

9.6 INTEGRITY OF THE STUDY AREA

The integrity of the Study Area has been impacted over time with some alteration of building facades, the removal of original buildings, and the addition of infill that differs from the heritage character. Despite these changes, key heritage features remain and warrant conservation for their continued longevity and ability to contribute to the historical narrative of the downtown core.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest December 6, 2019

10.0 STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST

10.1 DESCRIPTION OF HISTORIC PLACE

The proposed Kincardine HCD is located in the Municipality of Kincardine, Ontario and includes portions of Queen Street, Princes Street, Lambton Street, and the entirety of Durham Market South and North. The proposed HCD consists of a streetscape of commercial properties along Queen Street forming the commercial core of Kincardine, a streetscape along Princes Street of detached, predominantly late 19th century to early 20th century residential buildings, and a mixed streetscape of residential and commercial structures on Lambton Street, Durham Market North, and Durham Market South. Within the mixed streetscape is an example of a 19th century public space in Victoria Park. The proposed HCD contains the historic cultural and commercial core of Kincardine and is characteristic of the development of the community in its connection to early merchants and industrialists.

10.2 STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE

The proposed Kincardine HCD boundary is located within the historic core of the community of Kincardine, Ontario. Located in close proximity to the Kincardine harbour, the mouth of the Penetangore River, and the former railway line, the proposed Kincardine HCD is an evolved area that forms the historic civic, cultural, and commercial heart of the community. This is reflected in the representative collection of late 19th and early 20th century commercial, mixed use, and residential properties that reflect the growth and development of Kincardine during that period. Specifically, this includes the commercial corridor along Queen Street, the stately residences located on Princes Street, and the civic buildings and open space areas including a central marketplace, originally known as Durham Market Square and renamed as Victoria Park in 1897. The design of the proposed Kincardine HCD includes a representative grid of streets laid out in a north to south and east to west orientation surrounding Durham Market Square.

The stately residences located on Princes Street within the proposed Kincardine HCD reflect the prominence and economic success of Kincardine during the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The architecture is representative of late 19th to early 20th century building design and is partly influenced by the work of the local architect A.J. Evans, who favoured the Second Empire architectural style, which was popular in Ontario from about 1860 to 1900. Although the Second Empire style is not rare or unique design style in Ontario, the influence of Evans has resulted in a higher proportion of Second Empire structures compared to other rural communities in southern Ontario.

10.1

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest December 6, 2019

The proposed Kincardine HCD also contains structures that display a high degree of craftsmanship, including the civic structures at 719-723 Queen Street, the Kincardine Post Office and Customs House, 727 Queen Street, the Kincardine Library, and 756 Queen Street, the Baird Block, and 721 Princes Street, the Kincardine United Church. These structures were important civic, commercial, and religious structures within the community and the level of craftsmanship exhibited reflects the increased prominence and affluence of areas within the proposed Kincardine HCD following its incorporation as a town in 1875.

The development of the area within the proposed Kincardine HCD is historically associated with the role Kincardine played as an industrial centre and commercial hub in Bruce County during the 19th and early 20th century. With the establishment of the harbour as an important shipping port in Bruce County, Kincardine was well suited for industry and commercial activity. With the arrival of the railway, and the close proximity of Durham Market Square, Queen Street developed into an important commercial anchor of the community.

Alongside commercial growth, land within the proposed Kincardine HCD attracted civic buildings and residential growth. The first civic building constructed within the proposed Kincardine HCD was the Old Town Hall, built in 1872 on land that was part of the Durham Market Square. As the prominence of Kincardine continued to grow, additional civic buildings were constructed on Queen Street, including the Post Office and Customs House and Kincardine Public Library. The proximity to the thriving commercial and civic core of Kincardine encouraged residential growth on Princes Street and many prominent merchants and industrialists built stately residences on Princes Street.

The proposed Kincardine HCD contains contextual and visual value for its representative collection of commercial and residential properties which form a visually cohesive streetscape and character. The proposed Kincardine HCD contains a commercial section on Queen Street of predominantly attached commercial properties of similar height, setback, massing, and date of construction. Together, these commercial properties create a coherent streetscape and support the character of the commercial portion of the proposed Kincardine HCD as a late 19th to early 20th century downtown area.

The residential section of the proposed Kincardine HCD contains a collection of detached, predominantly late 19th to early 20th century residences that contain similar height, setback, massing, and date of construction. Together, these residences create a coherent streetscape and define the character of Princes Street as a residential neighbourhood of late 19th to early 20th century residences.

The proposed Kincardine HCD also contains transitional areas containing a mixture of residential and commercial buildings, located on Durham Market South and Lambton Street. These areas serve as a visual transition and link between the other two parts of the proposed Kincardine HCD. The visual experience of the proposed Kincardine HCD includes landmark structures within the community such as the Post Office and Customs House, Kincardine United Church, and the impressive Second Empire residences, whose cupolas can be seen along much of Princes Street and Durham Market North breaking the tree line.

10.3 HERITAGE ATTRIBUTES

The following attributes have been identified as reflective of the cultural heritage value or interest of the proposed Kincardine HCD:

• The high concentration of late 19th to early 20th century commercial buildings forming a commercial street wall along Queen Street, generally consisting of two to three storey buildings of purpose-built commercial character

o Architectural details of commercial buildings including voussoirs, window surrounds, drip moulds, segmental arch windows, classical motifs, decorative brick work, cornices, and friezes

• Cohesive use of materials, setback, heights, and massing along Queen Street creating a predominantly unified visual commercial heritage streetscape

• The high concentration of late 19th to early 20th century residential buildings along Princes Street, forming a cohesive residential streetscape, generally consisting of one and one half to two storey residences

o Architectural details of residences including decorative brick work, drip moulds, voussoirs, segmental arch windows, quoins, cupolas, projecting bays, bargeboard, porches, and fish scale shingles

• Predominant use of brick as an exterior cladding

• Cohesive use of materials, setback, heights, and massing on Princes Street creating a unified visual residential heritage streetscape

• Network of laneways providing access to the rear of commercial properties on Queen Street and providing access to Lambton Street and Princes Street

• The presence of popular late 19th to early 20th century architectural styles such as Second Empire, Renaissance Revival, and Queen Anne

• The landscape of Victoria Park, including pathways, fountain, mature trees, and monuments

• Landscape and vegetative features of Princes Street including metal fencing, stone wall, mature street trees, and large boulevard

• The landmark buildings in the Study Area which consist of large civic and religious buildings and grand Second Empire style residences:

o 707 Queen Street (Old Town Hall)

Recommendations December 6, 2019

11.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

11.1 OBJECTIVES OF HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT DESIGNATIONS

It is recommended that, based on the findings of the preceding sections of this report, the Municipality proceed with the preparation of an HCD Plan and Guidelines to meet the following objectives (additional objectives may be identified during the HCD Plan phase, if undertaken):

• Provide a framework for managing changes to existing buildings and public spaces to conserve the heritage ‘look and feel’ of the core area of Kincardine

• Maintain and enhance the existing low-rise downtown street wall of historic buildings from the late 19th and early 20th century

• Maintain and enhance the existing low-rise residential neighbourhood of Princes Street with a mix of one to three storey dwellings of various architectural influences set in maintained landscaped, vegetated lots

• Maintain and enhance the existing mixed use commercial and residential character of Durham Market North and South that provides a transition between the commercial and residential areas

• Maintain and enhance the public open space areas

• Maintain and enhance the mature trees within Victoria Park and along the Princes Street boulevard

• Encourage and support existing use or adaptive re-use of contributing buildings within the HCD

• Encourage the retention of heritage building fabric, building profiles and traditional façade arrangements when considering adaptive re-use

• Avoid the loss or demolition of heritage attributes or heritage fabric within the HCD

• Encourage compatible redevelopment in the HCD

• Collaborate with property owners and business owners to encourage and provide incentives for the conservation, restoration, and appropriate maintenance of heritage buildings

• Initiate other studies and programs that support the implementation of an HCD for the downtown core and the continued enhancement of the downtown core

• Encourage connectivity from within the HCD to the harbour, public parks and trails, and other community assets and heritage areas

• Encourage the enhancement of the public realm and municipally owned properties within the HCD in a manner compatible with the district character

11.1

KINCARDINE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT STUDY

Recommendations December 6, 2019

11.2 RECOMMENDED DISTRICT BOUNDARY

The proposed boundary for the Kincardine HCD consists of the properties along both sides of Queen Street from Durham Market South to Lambton Street, the properties along both sides of Princes Street from its southern terminus to Lambton Street, the entirety of Durham Market North and South, Victoria Park, and the south side of Lambton Street between Queen Street and Princes Street (Figure 14).

The identified area is recommended as a single HCD, although it consists of three character areas; the Queen Street commercial core, the Princes Street Residential area, and the mixed used area of Durham Market Square/Victoria Park. These character areas contain different features and visual and spatial perspectives but intersect with each other through the street grid and have strong historical ties.

Additional areas beyond the Study Area were considered for possible inclusion within the HCD boundary. Community consultation raised the possibility of including Harbour Street within the HCD Study Area. The Project Team reviewed this area and found that a section of Harbour Street between Queen Street to Huron Terrace, plus the lighthouse and Walker House properties, met much of the criteria to be included within the HCD boundary, containing resources of a similar character to the study area, including commercial and residential properties. The lighthouse and Walker House buildings form an anchor to this section of the streetscape. It is recommended that the Municipality consider including this area within the HCD boundary, if an HCD is pursued.

The harbour area was considered for its historical connection to the Study Area and as a key visual and physical feature in Kincardine. While there are strong historical ties between the harbour and Study Area, and many views towards the lake, the harbour area itself has been significantly altered from its historic function and appearance, and there are no longer port or manufacturing areas that were a key factor in the development of the community. As there are no longer significant physical remnants, this area was not considered to be a suitable inclusion in the HCD boundary.

It is the understanding of the Project Team that there are historic views from within the proposed HCD boundary to Lake Huron. It should be noted that these views have not been included as heritage attributes for the proposed HCD, as the views extend beyond the boundary of the area to be designated. The OHA defines heritage attributes as “in relation to real property and includes all buildings or structures thereon”. As outlined previously, the harbour and lakeshore were not included in a proposed HCD boundary as the historical integrity of the area relating to the former port town no longer remains.

Recommendations December 6, 2019

11.3 RECOMMENDED POLICY REVIEWS

As per the requirements of the OHA, an HCD Study must provide recommendations for policy changes to the OP or zoning by-laws to support or permit heritage conservation. Based on an understanding of the opportunities and constraints related to current planning policies within the Study Area, the following recommendations are provided:

• Consideration for height restrictions should be addressed either through zoning review or the HCD Plan phase and should provide detailed guidance specifically for the heritage area for how new development can be compatible to the heritage surroundings

• To address small-scale office use, with no public interaction in the commercial core and residential neighbourhood, specific design guidelines for commercial/office conversion in these areas can help to retain the heritage fabric and character of the proposed Kincardine HCD

• The Municipality should consider a site-specific CIP that speaks specifically to attributes of the proposed Kincardine HCD and provide specific design guidelines to be followed through this process so that façade restoration or alterations continue to contribute to the character of the area

• The Municipality should consider tools under the Planning Act (such as official plan amendments, special policy areas, or secondary plans) to protect and enhance views of the water and restrict development in key areas that would obstruct these views

In order to adopt an HCD in Kincardine, minor adjustments are recommended to the OP. While the Municipality has several policies that support conservation of heritage resources, it is recommended that the Municipality update the OP to clarify policies to specifically address the study and designation of properties in accordance with Part V of the OHA. It is also recommended that if HCD designation is pursued, the Municipality consult with Heritage Kincardine and seek Council’s approval to extend staff’s delegated authority to include decisions for certain alterations to properties designated under Part V of the OHA.

11.4 CONCLUSIONS

The study and analysis of the historical, built and landscape/streetscape elements revealed cultural heritage value or interest in the area and merit as an HCD. Strong themes emerged and were confirmed by the community regarding Kincardine’s history as a port town. A concentration of late 19th and early 20th century architecture, in commercial, civic and residential form, as well as mature vegetation and public park areas define the historic core and are a legacy of the Municipality’s heritage and are valued by the community as such. An HCD will be an important community tool for conserving these assets for the future.
