Description of Property and Heritage Features: Designation shall cover all exterior facades of the structure, including exterior walls, roof, balconette, balcony and verandah of the original home. Repair or restoration work performed on the designated areas, which is completed with same material and does alter the property's heritage attributes, may be performed without prior consent from the Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Kincardine in consultation with Heritage Kincardine unless a building permit is required. Statement of Cultural Heritage and Architectural Value: Patent was issued February 12, 1857, from the Crown to a group consisting of • John Keyworth, Joseph Elliott, J & J Vanstone. The consortium sold the property February 24, 1860, to Benjamin Squire. Squire in turn sold the property to Thomas C. Rooklidge April 27, 1872, following which it was sold to Charles Pemberton June 24, 1873, and then to Abraham J. Evans September 15, 1874. Abraham Joseph Evans (1839 -1912) was an architect and builder from Swansea, South Wales, who came to Bruce County in 1861. Evans built houses of distinction and built the home at 689 Princes Street for himself in approximately 1875. 689 Princes Street is one of the most authentic, well -kept examples of the Second Empire style of architecture in the Municipality of Kincardine. The ornate exterior features decorated gables in the roof, a belvedere, bay window and front portico as well as rows of dentils which highlight all three stories, and the ornate iron cresting work on the top of the tower. The dormers • on the second floor are capped with an intricate triangular pediment while the dormer on the tower features a carved curving pediment; this mix of pediment designs is typical of Second Empire buildings. The brackets under the eaves are ornate console designs. The irregular roof line featuring the strong tower places this home directly in the Second Empire style. Notice the gently sloping Mansard roof, the mandatory Second Empire roof, has been re- shingled, however the original roof was no doubt dichromatic slate (Appendix "A "). Appendix "A" The Second Empire style of architecture (1860 — 1900) is essentially a French style brought to Canada during the mid to late 19th century from Napoleon Ill's Second Empire in France. Following the collapse of The First Empire in 1815, • the monarchy was restored by Napoleon I's nephew, Napoleon III, from 1852 — 1870. Second Empire style is grand, lavish and complex. Easily identified by its roof line, the Second Empire roofs are typically dichromatic slate with intricate patterns. While the roof can be curved, squared, undulating, punctuated with dormers or even gabled, it is always in the Mansard style: gently sloping at the top with a clean vertical drop at the edge. The Second Empire's relatively short period of success may be seen historically in many large public buildings of the time, though many have since been demolished For residences and smaller buildings the style is Tess elaborate, though still ornate. Windows are generally high with elegant surrounding moldings and the ever present Mansard roof is highlighted with gabled or elliptical dormers. Both roofs and balconies are generally embellished with iron cresting and the roof itself is often dichromatic. A tower features on the roof line. • 689 Princes Street is one of the most authentic, well -kept examples of the Second Empire style of architecture in the Municipality of Kincardine.
