SHORT STATEMENT OF THE REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED DESIGNATION
.
The Arscott residence is of a modified Italianate style like so
many of the larger houses in Town. It is basically a square plan
with the windows symmetrically placed and an addition to the
south-west corner. The house is lacking a front tower which is
common to buildings of this type.
There are several features of the Arscott home that should be
preserved such as the decorative eaves on the original front and
the annex, the decorative brick headers over the windows, and
the double wooden doors by the main entrance and annex.
The t acre lot was originally deeded from Queen Victoria in 1853
but the house was not built until around 1860. In 1870, the
property on which the house stands was sold to the Merchants Bank
of Canada. The smaller addition held Kincardine's first bank
while the larger portion was the Manager's residence.
Prior to being purchased by the Arscotts in 1963, the home was
owned by Colonel Hugh Clark, a member of the Federal Cabinet
and an uncle of Joe Clark, former Prime Minister of Canada.
