Heritage attributes

The c.1926 cottage was built in the Arts & Crafts style and designed by Page & Warrington. As a reaction to the mechanization and dehumanization of the Industrial Age, the Arts & Crafts style attempted to reconnect people to nature and to the handmade. The cottaage is a humble yet eloquent example of the Arts & Crafts style. It was constructed using local, natural materials including stained wood shingles and Credit Valley stone taken from the nearby ravine. The low-sloped roof, tapered stone piers on the corners and natural wood windows and trim work connect the building to its natural surroundings. The cottage displays early 20th century craftsmanship that is visible in the stone piers, stone chimneys and multipaned wood windows.
