Heritage property
114 King St
114 King St, Oakville, built 1989, 1952, 1953, is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by By-law 1976-087 and sits in the Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District.
History
The property includes a significant example of an 1898 Arts and Crafts style coach house, known as the Lodge, designed by the firm Dick and Wilson. Originally this low, rambling structure contained a stable, carriage house and living quarters and then served as a garage in later years. To the west of the Lodge are two 1950s cottages built for the great granddaughters of William Chisholm, Hazel and Julia, when they vacated the main house. Julia built the southern cottage in 1952 using materials salvaged from historic buildings. Hazel’s cottage was built in 1953 and was attached to Julia’s cottage where the current kitchen is located. The two cottages, while sharing a roofline and walls, were built to function separately. The cottages were not open on the interior to each other until the property was taken over by the Oakville Historical Society.
Heritage attributes
The exterior of the shingle-clad Lodge displays eclectic and picturesque features including irregular roof slopes, eyebrow dormers, and varied wall surface treatments. Elements such as the second storey hay loft doors identify its original function. The two cottages are simple frame structures clad in vertical board siding with a hipped roof. Landscaping on the property represents a variety of periods and includes mature trees, stone walls and rock gardens.
What the status means
Both individually designated under Part IV and inside a Part V district.
