1.0 SUMMARY STATEMENT with RECOMMENDATION

Interim Evaluation of Cultural Heritage Value: 1298 Ontario Street, Burlington

D.R. Chalykoff 1 1 October 2010

1.0 SUMMARY STATEMENT with RECOMMENDATION The recommendation of this Interim Evaluation is that the house at 1298 Ontario Street, Burlington, remains on the Ontario Heritage Act’s Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value . The more this house is studied and analyzed, the more important its significance appears. Given its most probable year of construction, 1876, this was the butcher’s house in pre-Burlington Wellington Square. In 1877, three years after incorporation, the population of Burlington was only 1,400 souls. This is a post-settlement era, village house of which the architecture, massing, and street relationship all speak.

1.0.1 North Elevation, 1298 Ontario Street, September, 2010. Further, considering the urban blight of the immediate context, together with lost spaces and anonymous concrete-slab towers, this house has a substantial urban contribution to make by serving as a landmark and datum for future infill development in the area. By following the contextual and design clues present in the subject building, this section of Ontario Street could regain the village atmosphere of which it was a founding partner. Without 1298 Ontario Street, there is an enormously high probability that Burlington will be saddled with more soulless stucco and aluminum sprawl. Without 1298 Ontario Street some of the last vestiges of Wellington Square will be permanently erased from Burlington’s urban DNA. This is one of early Burlington’s architectural elders very worthy of serious conservation efforts.



2.0 INTRODUCTION to INTERIM HERITAGE EVALUATION In late July of 2010 the Planning Department, City of Burlington, commissioned D. R. Chalykoff, a Heritage Consultant, to provide an expert opinion on the cultural heritage value of a number of Burlington properties requested to be removed from the Register of property situated in the municipality and of cultural heritage value, per the Ontario Heritage Act. The house at 1298 Ontario Street was one of those properties. The standard to be used for evaluation was the set of criteria listed in Ontario Regulation 9/06, Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. The typical understanding between this consultant and clients is that the opinion rendered is entirely independent and based on evidence of cultural heritage value available at the time an evaluation is prepared. This was agreed by both parties. The methodology was as follows. The City of Burlington provided all background data on each property to the consultant who, upon reviewing the data, made a site visit to 1298 Ontario Street on 15 September 2010, at approximately 12:00 noon. Access to the exterior of the property was kindly granted by the owner, Mrs. Afaf Sakran. With the field images, subsequent research (cited within), and analysis, an interim evaluation of cultural heritage value was made. Where the property was found to have cultural heritage value, the research was taken far enough to prove the property to have more than sufficient merit to be merely of interest to the municipality i.e., if the property is recommended to be retained on the Register, it already merits serious consideration under one of the nine criteria cited in Ontario Regulation 9/06 under the Ontario Heritage Act. The Terms of Reference were such that a full Heritage Evaluation Study for the subject property was not deemed necessary. The purpose of this Interim Evaluation was to review existing information, verify same, and test the criteria cited above so that Burlington can, with confidence, leave the subject property on or remove it from the Register.

The earliest dated City document concerning this property is from 1997 at which time the property was rated “B” or 60%. (Under the previous ratings system grades were assigned as follows: A for 100-75 points; B for 74-50 points; C for 25-49 points and D for less than 24 points.) The comments provided by the City (or its volunteer committees) regarding contextual value are: “Compatible with the neighbourhood,” and “Compatible with the current land use zoning.” Neither of these statements appears to be true some thirteen years hence though it is the very lack of compatibility that has increased the cultural heritage value of this resource. Images of the immediate physical context are shown below:

3.0.13 Driveway across from Subject House, September, 2010. In a number of the annotations, above, the idea of lost space is mentioned. Lost spaces were named and defined by Roger Trancik.

Lost space is the leftover unstructured landscape at the base of high-rise towers or the unused sunken plaza away from the flow of pedestrian activity in the city. Lost spaces are the surface parking lots that ring the urban core of almost all American cities and sever the connection between the commercial center and residential areas. They are the no-man’s-land along the edges of freeways that nobody cares about maintaining, much less using. Lost spaces are also the abandoned waterfronts, train yards, vacated military sites, [spaces at the base of power transmission corridors]…2

The spaces surrounding the subject house, almost all qualify as lost space. This is an area that probably can’t properly be classified as a neighbourhood for lack of cohesion. The lack of cohesion is the result of now outdated but once fashionable planning concepts originating soon after (and partly as a result of) WWI. Le Corbusier’s magnificent village in the sky has turned out to be less magnificent in reality than in conception. The result is the urban blight seen surrounding 1298 Ontario Street. Trancik listed five causes:

1. Predominance of automobile use; 2. Modern Movement in architectural (and planning) design; 3. Urban-renewal and zoning policies; 4. Dominance of private over public interests, and; 5. Changes in land use in inner cities.3

2 Trancik, Finding Lost Space, p.3. 3 Ibid, p. viii.



Evidence of the effect of all five factors is visible in the immediate context of 1298 Ontario Street. The effect on the subject property is devaluation, aesthetically and in real estate value. This happens because, left orphaned, unprotected by heritage legislation, and under designed, the surrounding area becomes more and more undesirable. It is an area over which there are no “eyes on the street” as the late Canadian urbanist Jane Jacobs said. This means no one takes any day-to-day responsibility for the space at the base of the apartment building, around the tennis court, in the vacant lot, or in the power corridor. As such fewer families wish to rent or buy the subject house and its repair and value drop until a developer makes the property part of a land assembly. Left without heritage protection and improved urban design standards, this pattern of decay will occur as surely as night follows day. Those are the negative aspects of the context and they are considerable. On the opposite (positive) side of the scale, are the subject property and a few individual houses that surround it. In a context of sensitive planning these houses would be conserved and improved and allowed to serve as the nucleus of more single-family residential development that would take its design cues from the older houses in scale, street relationship, and massing. As such, the subject house has the potential to make an enormous urban contribution to a context where such urbanity is all but extinct. One must remember that this wasn’t always the case; what is visible in the images above was created in the face of long-standing residential housing just like the subject house. In short, the subject house was there first. It is recommended that the property at 1298 Ontario Street, Burlington, is retained on the Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest for contextual value. The property at, 1298 Ontario Street, Burlington, has contextual value because it:

i. Is important [vital] in defining, maintaining, and supporting the character of its neighbourhood within Burlington, and;

ii. Is physically, functionally, visually, and historically linked to its surroundings. 4.0 HISTORICAL/ASSOCIATIVE CULTURAL VALUE The Terms of Reference, above, in the Introduction, state that the purpose of this Interim Evaluation is to test and verify existing research. The extant historical/associative comments regarding 1298 Ontario Street are as follows:

“Originally part of Joseph Brant’s Crown Grant property, this lot surveyed by Benjamin Eager in Plan 65, registered in 1874. In that year lot 53 was sold by James Eager to Leonard Rusby, who operated a butcher shop on Brant St. According to From Pathway to Skyway Revisited, p. 192, Leonard Rusby established his meat market in 1868. His son Albert Edward Rusby continued the business, located north of Le Patourel’s Drug Store on the east side of the first block of Brant Street. He advertised ‘the most reasonable prices with honest weights and measures always as quoted’.



The house was built in 1876 for Leonard Rusby (mortgage and confirmed by Stanley Blair) [sic]. When he built the house next door in 1908, his son stayed in this house (confirmed by Stanley Blair, although he identified his house as 1294 Ontario). The 1916 Sewerage Works Plan shows this property as owned by L. J. Rusby. In 1945 from A.E. Rusby (his estate?) to Allan S. Nicholson; in 1952 to Adrian Staalduinen (?); in 1971 to Duane Baltzer; in 1984 to Afaf Sakran, the present owner.”4

The citation listed (Machan) is accurate but can be added to. In 1917, forty-one years after the subject house was thought to be built, the population of Burlington was 2,6005; a very small town. In the year following the construction of 1298 Ontario Street, 1877, the population of the newly incorporated village was a mere 1,4006 souls. This makes the house of Leonard Rusby a house of some importance as it dates from the period just following the merger of Wellington Square and Port Nelson into the Village of Burlington in 1874. The maps below provide a sense of the village at that time.

On the map in Fig. 4.0.1, above, there is no small black square or dot indicating the presence of Rusby’s house. The map was published in 1877 and may have been drawn up before construction had begun or was complete. The reason is unknown.

4.0.2 South-West (Downtown) Component of Nelson Township, 1877.8

Two factors are evident from the map in Fig. 4.0.2. Inscribed under the title, “Village of Burlington” are the words “compiled from registered plans.” Perhaps the Rusby plan hadn’t yet been registered despite the house having been begun or perhaps this westerly portion of the map was simply not locally considered to be part of the Village. Again, the reasons are unknown but the subject house doesn’t appear in either drawing dated 1877. Two more contradictory dates for the subject house can be added to the list requiring further research: the Burlington Historical Society states that the house was “Built in 1876, probably by James Eager, on a lot in Benjamin Eager’s Survey Plan 65 (1874), for Leonard Rusby…”9 The second date appears in Burlington’s assessment records where the date is stated as 1885.

Bunton’s Survey



Fortunately, Turcotte was as aware of Stanley Blair as the writer of Burlington’s historical description, above.

“George Blair’s father and uncle emigrated from Scotland and settled in West Flamborough near Harper’s Corners. George disliked clearing land and decided to become a carpenter. The first house he worked on was in Kilbride, and it is still standing. [1989] When he moved to Burlington, he married Hannah Shepard, whose parents had emigrated from Yorkshire in 1859 and had settled on the Guelph Line north of Highway #5. George Blair formed a partnership with Dr. Richardson, his family doctor, and they purchased part of Bunton’s survey. [Cf. Fig. 4.0.2] George Blair owned the northern section of this land, fronting on Ontario Street, and he built several large brick houses there. One of them, built in 1866, was the house at 472 Burlington Avenue where the Blairs lived until 1896. At that time George Blair purchased Nelson Ogg’s 50-acre fruit farm ‘to get his sons out of town.’ George’s son, Stanley Blair, who celebrated his 98th birthday in June 1988, still lives in the house at the corner of Brant Street and Blairholm Avenue. […] In addition to farming, George Blair continued to build houses, and Stanley often helped him, hauling limestone blocks from the escarpment or helping to dig out the basements. On one occasion Stanley loaded several large limestone blocks, using a plank to roll them onto the wagon. The stonemasons were astounded that he was able to handle such large blocks alone. One of the houses George Blair built was a large home for William Graham on the site of the present Torrance Apartments. The house was sold to Mr. Torrance when he came from Montreal, and the Torrance family lived there for several years.”10

Without further research, Ms. Turcotte’s Blair-family biography confirms both the identity and probable accuracy of Stanley Blair and his account of the origins of the subject house. Clearly he would have been a man well aware of the houses built in this area of Burlington. What would be nice to know is whether the subject house was built by his father – title documents might help although, from the entry in the 1997 Inventory, it appears that title documents were consulted. According to the City information, the property changed hands again in 1945 at which time it was owned, for seven years, by A. S. Nicholson.

Allan S. Nicholson was born in 1882 at his family farm in Waterdown. In 1907, after considerable farming experience, he tried his hand at the lumber business with this father’s assistance. He built an extraordinarily successful commercial career within the lumber and construction supply business. Of particular interest to this Study is his role around the time he co-owned the subject property.

“During the Second World War, Mr. Nicholson was called to Ottawa to work with the Timber Control Board which was established to mobilize the nation’s timber resources. Mr. Nicholson served first as deputy timber controller, then as timber controller, before returning to Burlington and his own business interests.

“In 1945, he ran as federal Progressive Conservative candidate in the Halton riding, but was defeated in the election by his good friend, Hughes Cleaver. For many years, he was a member of the Public School Board.”11

Further mention of Mr. Nicholson’s association with land development is made in Machan.

10 Turcotte, Burlington: Memories of Pioneer Days, pp. 197, 200. 11 Turcotte, Burlington: The Growing Years, p. 92.



“It was after WWII when Burlington began to mushroom. W. Frank Utter had, just prior to the war, developed the Glenwood survey, west of the Guelph Line. After the war, parcels of Veterans’ Land Act property were sold farther west on the Clarence Wood farm, and the Queensway survey was opened. More V.L.A. lots were sold to veterans on Pomona Ave., north of Roseland, and in other sections in Nelson Township and Aldershot.

“In the centre of town, A.S. Nicholson sold land to C.F. Hewitt who developed, after the war, Eden and Halifax Places, Baldwin Ave. and Hurd Avenue. He also opened up Harris Cres. from Torrance Street.”12, 13

Mr. Nicholson is also known to have played a significant role in the fund-raising efforts for Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital. While it is possible that Mr. Nicholson lived at the subject house, it’s more likely that he owned it as part of a future land assembly as that part of Burlington was actively being developed during Nicholson’s tenure. In short, it is likely his involvement with the subject property was as a developer/investor. The Burlington Historical Society states that the subject house was, “Bought by Allan S. Nicholson in 1945, to be used as a residence for employees of his lumber and planing company, on the north side of Ontario Street.”14

The owner to whom Nicholson sold 1298 Ontario Street, in 1952, was Adrian Staalduinen. No references are recorded in either Machan or Turcotte concerning the name “Staalduinen” however when one adds the Dutch prefix van to Staalduinen references exist.

“In 1995, Halton Region was the sixth largest grower of greenhouse flowers in Ontario. At one time there were several greenhouse operations in Burlington. In 1952, Cornelis (Casey) Van Staalduinen built greenhouses on Walkers Line and he and his wife Patricia built up an impressive business. When Fairview St. was extended, all 22 greenhouses were consolidated on the south side of Fairview. Their specialty was bedding plants which they supplied to city parks in Hamilton and Toronto and to the Royal Botanical Gardens. In 1988, they sold the property and for two years the business was continued in rented greenhouses at Unsworth and Son. A year after the death of his wife, Mr. Van Staalduinen retired but continued sowing seeds for Unsworth. Part of the Unsworth property has been developed as a residential subdivision but in 1996 there were still a number of greenhouses on Plains Rd.”15

Today there is one partial greenhouse left at one of the two Unsworth houses at Plains Road and Unsworth Avenue. Two points bear recording: the date the van Staalduinens began work in Burlington, 1952, was the same date the subject house was sold to an individual with the same very individual surname. It is probable Adrian (van) Staalduinen was related to the florists and had bought a house to be near his work but further research is required to positively confirm this. The two final families cited by Burlington as owners, the present owners, the Sakrans, and the immediately prior owners, the Baltzers, have not yet been mentioned in the primary sources of local history. As such the predominant historical/associative cultural heritage value of the subject property accrues from the Rusbys through Stanley Blair. 12 Machan, From Pathway to Skyway, p. 306. 13 Chalykoff, Heritage Evaluation Study, Featherston Homestead, pp. 20-21. 14 http://images.burlington.halinet.on.ca/96777/data?n=170 15 Machan, p.176.



It is recommended that 1298 Ontario Street be retained on the Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest for historical/associative reasons because it,

i. Has direct associations with the Village of Burlington, population 1,400, as it existed immediately following the merger between Port Nelson and Wellington Square; and

ii. Yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of the Village of Burlington and the culture contemporary with that Village.

5.0 DESIGN/PHYSICAL CULTURAL VALUE

In Burlington’s Inventory of 1997 the following description was provided:

“A substantial two-and-a-half-storey square-plan frame structure with a truncated hipped roof. The boxed cornice has a wide plain frieze. The original large wood sash windows have pedimented frames. The front bay window has a small mansard roof with a plain boxed cornice. The front entrance door has pedimented frame above the rectangular transom.”

The features cited, with the exception of the original windows, which have been removed, will be illustrated below.

5.0.8 Detail: Semi-Hexagonal Bay Window, North Elevation, September, 2010. The original mansard roof and flashing would have been of sheet metal such as lead, copper, or painted steel. The windows would have been wood sash, multi-paned, double-hung windows while all the trim: soffits, fascia, window surrounds, and base of bay would have been of painted wood. It is probable that much of the original exists beneath the Insulbrick as it is much less expensive to go over the original than to remove it.

5.0.9 Detail: North-Facing Dormer, September, 2010. In Burlington’s 1997 Heritage Resource Inventory a remark is included under “Integrity” stating, “The narrow gabled front dormer seems to be a later addition.” The stated probability (that the dormer was an addition) is shared though judging from the elaborate trim in the gable-end, the latest likely date of construction would be the 1920’s. In summary the design/physical cultural heritage value found at 1298 Ontario Street is significant if slightly marred and covered over. Some of the more important character-defining attributes of the house are its very urban, village-like set back from the sidewalk, its modest front step, its semi-hexagonal bay window, its pedimented window and door surrounds, and the front door assembly including the transom window. Though the house was almost certainly built without the aid of an architect, its use of the pedimented windows is interesting with respect to the date of construction recorded by Burlington, namely 1876. The architectural period from which the pedimented window surrounds, the gable-ended dormer, and the front door assembly are derived is Greek Revival which the McAlester’s date from 1825-186016. (Of course, there was nothing preventing anyone from re-using the same style anytime afterward.) As Fig. 5.0.10 below clearly shows, the similarity in the design and execution of the dormer on the subject house and the set of dormers in the image is strong. The dormers below are more elaborate, more heavily detailed, and more classically proportioned. However, the narrowness of the window framing, the placement of the window sill just above the roof line, and the many moulded steps down within the gable-ends is strongly similar. It’s also interesting to note the use of transoms over the full-length windows in the ground floor exterior wall just inside the porch. Importantly, Macrae & Adamson cite the Upper Canadian iterations of Greek Revival design as early as 184717 so the American dates (1825-1860) are applicable to the subject house.

Closed-pediment gable-ended roof over single window dormer

Closed (box) cornice

Painted wood cladding around double-hung window



5.0.10 Lowary House, Mobile, Alabama, 1851.18 Given the age, massing, and increasingly rare typology for the neighbourhood (single-family residential, village-style house), together with the architectural detailing, it is recommended that this house be kept on the Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest for design/physical values. This is because the house,

i. Is an increasingly rare, representative example of a Wellington Square era, Greek Revival style.

18 McAlester, A Field Guide to American Houses, p. 191.
