Take Notice that the Council of the Town of Collingwood, on April 22, 2024, passed a resolution of intent to designate 362 Peel Street as a property of cultural heritage value or interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.18.
Description of the Property:
362 Peel Street is located on the west side of Peel Street, north of Bush Street and south of Harben Court, in the east side of the Town of Collingwood. The property consists of a two-storey Georgian style single-detached dwelling with a wood clapboard exterior built sometime between 1870 and 1875, and moved to the subject property in 1960. The legal description of the property is Pt Lt 33 W/S Peel St Pl 370 Collingwood As In RO653326; Collingwood, County of Simcoe.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest:
362 Peel Street is a representative example of a modest Georgian residence. The property has design value as a representative example of a modest residential building constructed in a vernacular Georgian architectural style. The subject building exhibits minimal decorative elements reflecting the rudimentary designs of Georgian buildings in Ontario. The overall orderly and uncluttered façade and elevations, side gable roof, wooden clapboard exterior with beaded corner boards, and one-storey hipped roof porch supported by decorative wooden columns and a tongue and groove ceiling reflect typical characteristics of this architectural style. The 19th century nature of this residence is further demonstrated by the extant interior materials including paired wooden doors on the first floor, four-panel wood doors on the second floor, an unpainted banister and newel post, wooden trim work and wide wooden floorboards.
362 Peel Street has historical value as a historically rented residential/commercial property associated with the development of the Town of Collingwood as a prosperous economic rail and shipping settlement on Georgian Bay. In its original location, research suggests the house was rented for use as both a residence and commercial space. As a modest Georgian style building, the structure is associated with the historical land use patterns of Collingwood in the 20th century with commercial businesses located along Hurontario Street and then transitioned to a domestic land use in the area immediately south of Collingwood’s downtown core.
