330 Watson Ave, Oakville, built in 1922, is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by Town of Oakville By-law 2023-128.
History
The property is associated with the theme of the development of the local residential area known as ‘Brantwood’, an early 20th century residential subdivision. The original homes, including the subject house, were built with influences from the Arts and Crafts era, creating a defined look for the subdivision. The subject property still retains exterior heritage elements that have contributed to the neighbourhood’s Arts and Crafts character over the last 100 years and its presence continues to contribute to the character of the historic subdivision.
