History

The Graham House has cultural heritage value for its association with the theme of development of the local area and mid-sized estates in Oakville in the early 1900s. The property started out as farmland, and the later subject house emerged during an important transition in the areas surrounding the Town of Oakville, when farmland began to be developed into estates and residential subdivisions, which was a significant time during Oakville’s development. The property is also associated with some prominent local citizens, such as the Glassco family of Glassco jams.

Heritage attributes

The Graham House is a representative example of a Colonial Revival home with Arts and Crafts influences from the early 1900s. Colonial Revival attributes of the home include: the massing of the historic two-and-a-half-storey house; its side gabled roof with dormers; its symmetrical façade with a central entrance; the decorative portico with round wooden columns and decorative frieze; Palladian style windows in gables; panelled front door complemented by sidelights with leaded glass windows; and the porte-cochère with its round wooden columns, frieze board and balustrade. The house also contains a mix of local materials and elements from the Arts and Crafts era that embody craftsmanship from natural materials.
