Schedule "B"
Description of Property and Heritage Features/Attributes
The Lighthouse structure is typical of an integrated lighthouse combined with the
keeper's house. Although the elements of the Lighthouse are similar to others of
its type, the pleasing proportions, the rhythm of the windows, the colour scheme
of white with red and its location in the town scape make this Lighthouse unique.
Designated features include the entire exterior (all facades) of the house and
octagonal tower with the exception of the vinyl windows, aluminum framing and
vinyl cladding of the octagonal tower (installed in July 2008). All other exterior
features, stone foundation, V board cladding of the house, 4 over 4 windows and
storm windows, cedar shingle roof (installed in 2007), metal lantern with its
gallery and 8 supporting corbel/brackets under the gallery, and other exterior
elements not aforementioned shall be covered under the designation. When the
tower cladding and windows with their proper dormer elements are restored, they
will be covered by a designation amendment. In addition, the anchor from the
shipwreck Anna Maria, resting in the front yard of the Lighthouse garden, shall be
included in this designation. The land footprint where the stone foundation sets
into the hill shall also be designated and retained.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value
It has become the symbol- the logo - of the former Town of Kincardine and now
for the Municipality of Kincardine and is featured on the majority its promotional
material. The Lighthouse is unique in its location within town limits and easily
accessible to other heritage structures and downtown as well as the harbour. Its
cultural heritage value is important to Kincardine as the guiding light to harbour. It
also is important in the larger picture of Lake Huron maritime history. It was built
at the zenith of Kincardine's commercial harbour development.
