Heritage property
5 Dundas St E
5 Dundas St E, Oakville, built in 1898, is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by Town of Oakville By-law 1989-124 (1989).
History
Original Crown Grant was issued in 1804 to John Robinson who partially cleared the property. In 1808 Daniel Munn was granted the property across the road where he eventually built his tavern. The crossroads of Sixth Line and Dundas became known as Munn’s Corners. The first congregation met at Munn’s home in 1823 and in 1842 Jordan Munn, son of Daniel, deeded sixty square rods to the Trustees of the church. The first church was erected in 1844 and called the Parsonage Church. In 1885 Munn’s name reappeared in the Church’s name. In 1898 the existing brick church was constructed which would hold the United Church of Canada in 1923.
Heritage attributes
Gothic Revival style prevalent in church architecture during the nineteenth century. Significant features include pointed windows with intricately decorated pointed surrounds and drip molds, a Palladian styled window on the front façade above the door, brick buttresses located on three facades, and stone window sills.
