History
The Wettlaufer House is as a representative example of an early 20th century Edwardian style home. Typical Edwardian architectural elements found on the subject property include its simple, classical, balanced form; it’s two-storey massing; its smooth brick façade with multiple windows; its simple 1-over-1 sash windows with plain stone lintels and simplified brick voussoirs. The residence is also considered to be a rare remaining type of building, being an early 20th century historic building from the historic Village of Palermo.
Heritage attributes
The house is associated with the development of the Village of Palermo, the oldest settlement within the present boundaries of the Town of Oakville. The Village of Palermo was settled in 1806 and predates the settlement of the villages of Oakville and Bronte by approximately 20 years. Further, the existing Edwardian structure yields information about the early 20th century development phase of the village, and about an architectural style that was popular at the time.
