The Town of Oakville’s description, reproduced from its heritage register.

Criterion met under Ontario Regulation 9/06

The property has design value or physical value because it is a rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method.

O. Reg. 9/06 sets the criteria a property must meet to be designated under Part IV; the Town recorded which one applies.

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.

Whether a specific alteration needs a heritage permit is the Town’s call; ask its heritage planning staff before starting work. See permits and by-laws.
