Heritage property
1042 Sixth Line
1042 Sixth Line, Oakville, is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
History
A representative example of a designed landscape composed of both formal and informal planting schemes within a picturesque landscape plan reflective of the Arts and Crafts movement. The Sixteen Mile Creek has been identified as a natural feature of significance to the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the property has associative value for this reason. The property is also associated with Stuart Brown, one of the founding members of the nearby Oakville Golf Club while residing at this rural estate and a contributor to the sporting history of Oakville.
Heritage attributes
The three-storey residence is constructed in an Arts and Crafts style. The location, orientation, and relationship of the residence with other key features of the landscape (i.e., the long, spruce-lined lane-way, formal circle, mature specimen plantings, and stone gate posts and walls) are characteristic of the movement. Fenestration, location, size, and orientation provides clear views to natural features, deliberate plantings and man-made landscape features.
What the status means
Designated individually under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by a Town by-law. Alterations to the heritage attributes and demolition need Town approval.
