Heritage attributes

The Lunau House is a representative example of the Colonial Revival architectural style popular in Ontario in the early- to mid-20th century. The house was built in 1928 with a typical Colonial Revival style symmetrical façade with centered front and rear dormers and a side-gabled roof. It has a symmetrical fenestration around the entire house, and a centered door with covered porch supported by full height columns. The home has unique matching Colonial-style balustrades on the north and south sides of the home and quarter lunette windows on the north and south elevations.
