Springer House The following evaluation is presented in support of the Burlington Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee's judgement that the property located at 466 Burlington Avenue is worthy of designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. Its evaluation is A. 90: Of Major Significance and clearly worthy of designation. The evaluation is based on criteria designed for the classification of heritage buildings, published in Harold Kalman's The Evaluation of Historic Buildings (Ottawa: Ministry of the Environment, 1980). A designation Document was approved by LACAC in July 1995 and provided to the owners in the summer of 1995. HISTORY: Burlington Avenue takes its name from the village, which was incorporated in 1873, combining the former Wellington Square and Port Nelson under the new name of Burlington. It was developed under three subdivision plans: William Bunton's Survey in 1881 (Plan 74), Addison Hager's Survey in 1890 (Plan 90), and Wellington Park Survey in 1908 (Plan 117). In Bunton's Survey, the Avenue ran parallel to Church Avenue (at St Luke's) and Nelson Avenue, from Water Street north to Ontario Street, where John Ireland's house (built in 1870, now 1401 Ontario Street) was situated with a vista down to the lake. In 1881 Lot 29 was registered to Adam Isaac Zimmerman, who sold it in 1883 to William Richardson. 1897 Voters List: William Richardson, M. D., Lot 2, Brant St In 1904 it passed from Richardson's estate to Charles Finlay Coleman; in 1905 to George Henry Copp. According to Stanley Blair, this house was built after the Farms and Farming house owned by the Copp family burnt. Sold in 1907 to O. T. Springer. The 29 April 1908 Gazette included the notice: \"TENDERS - for dwelling to be erected on Burlington avenue for O. T. Springer. Plans at Clerk's offfice.\" This house was built in 1908 by George Blair for Oliver Tiffany Springer, as a retirement residence after Springer retired from his Farms and Farming, \"Ontario Orchards\", which was located on Brant Street north of Caroline Street. Martha Craig's The Garden of Canada (1902), includes photographs and notes on Springer and \"Ontario Orchards\". As well as operating a very successful fruit Farms and Farming, Springer served as school board trustee, Village Clerk, and chairman of the library board. He contributed a history of the library to The Garden Of Canada. (1902). O.T. Springer was a nephew of David Reynolds Springer, who moved to Nelson from Hamilton in 1835, and whose Homestead, \"Hawthorne Lodge\", stands at 2373 Dundas Street. 1861 Census: Oliver Springer, age 20, was working on the Farms and Farming of John Triller [CHECK where] 1871 Census: his age is listed as 29, married toAmy, age 26.

Turcotte, Memories of Pioneer Days, pp. 89 - 92 LACAC: \"Walking Tour of Downtown Burlington No 2\" ARCHITECTURE: This two-and-a-half storey residence with a steep side-gabled roof and a dormer above the front porch is quite comparable in massing and proportions to the Homer House, built at 476 Nelson Avenue, also in 1908. But the original decorative details of the Springer House are more various in design, of better quality, and better preserved. The gable ends and porch are clad with the original wooden fish scale shingles. The partial front verandah creates a strong asymmetrical front elevation and retains its original turned railing. The verandah roof is supported by short triple Ionic columns on squared brick supports at the corners, and half-columns at the wall. The classically-derived columns echo those on neighbouring buildings: the short Ionic columns of 471, and the Doric columns of 465, 472, and 482. The bay window within the verandah is balanced by a large window with a very fine stained glass panel, which is echoed in an identical window on the north elevation and in the transom above the front door. The front gable has paired windows in a shallow arch. The south elevation has a strong asymmetrical fenestration pattern. The one-over-one sash windows and wooden storms are original. The north front corner has a buttress projection of brick, echoed on the north side, and the south rear corner has a tall brick chimney. The design combines a dramatic sweep with a solid, substantial quality. The original large garage has been well preserved. ENVIRONMENT: This property, backing on to the grounds of St Luke's Church, has well established traditional plantings and landscaping. A mature ginkgo tree stands to the south. Located between two other Grade A heritage properties, the George Blair House at 472, and the Henry Foster House at 460, the O. T. Springer House makes a very strong contribution to the historical streetscape of Burlington Avenue. USABILITY: The house has been renovated and restored to single family residential use. INTEGRITY: The renovation and restoration included the replacement in 1993 of an external wooden rear staircase with a two-level rear addition, designed by John Williams. This excellent renovation was recognized by a Heritage Award in 1995."},{"label":"Creator","value":"Pat Taylor"},{"label":"Date","value":"1908"},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1908"},{"label":"Title","value":"466 Burlington Avenue, Burlington ON"},{"label":"Repository","value":["Burlington Historical Society"]}],"description":"466 Burlington Avenue, Burlington ON","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/e71510fd-0fa2-4339-b72e-f6e2e0d95e29/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"bhs_204756-1","height":533,"width":800,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/da57a7a5-40be-458e-8a13-b277fe2e3616/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/da57a7a5-40be-458e-8a13-b277fe2e3616","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2]}]},"height":533,"width":800},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/e71510fd-0fa2-4339-b72e-f6e2e0d95e29/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/da57a7a5-40be-458e-8a13-b277fe2e3616/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/e71510fd-0fa2-4339-b72e-f6e2e0d95e29/canvas/_2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"bhs_204756-2","height":533,"width":800,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/d81e9601-56bf-4a87-875b-5be547865fce/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/d81e9601-56bf-4a87-875b-5be547865fce","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2]}]},"height":533,"width":800},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/e71510fd-0fa2-4339-b72e-f6e2e0d95e29/canvas/_2","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/d81e9601-56bf-4a87-875b-5be547865fce/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/da57a7a5-40be-458e-8a13-b277fe2e3616/full/300,300/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/logo"}
