Heritage property
3020 Post Road
3020 Post Road, Oakville, is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by Town of Oakville By-law 2019-095.
History
The Jordan Munn House is historically associated with the Munn family who founded Munn's Corners, a former hamlet at Dundas Street and Sixth Line. The house also has historical value as an early example of a timber frame house. The brick house was actually an addition to another timber frame section that was demolished in 2015. The original section was built between 1816 and 1841 and the brick portion likely between 1830 and 1860 when the Classic Revival style was prevalent in Ontario.
Heritage attributes
The Munn House is a simple vernacular version of the Classic Revival style and contains a gabled front façade, medium pitched roof with deep returned eaves and a wide cornice, symmetrical window placement and an off-centre door, all typical of the style. Built on a stone foundation, the house was clad in red brick in a Common Brick Bond. The house also has heritage value for its unique timber frame construction, uncommon for 19th century houses.
