Summary
This report recommends that City Council include the property at 180 Queens Drive on the City of Toronto’s Heritage Register for its cultural heritage value.
The subject property is situated prominently at the northeast corner of Queens Drive and Pine Street, south of Church Street, west of Jane Street, and north of John Street in the Weston neighbourhood. It contains a three-storey brick and stone house and was constructed in 1912 for the prominent Weston resident, Oliver Master, and his family.
The house is situated on a large corner lot and setback from Queens Drive, reflecting the original lot pattern and organization of the street. The subject property is a representative example of the Queen Anne Revival Style.
As one of the earliest properties constructed in the historic Town of Weston in the area east of Pine Street, south of Church Street, west of Jane Street, and north of William Street, the property at 180 Queens Drive is important in maintaining and supporting the context of the area. The property at 180 Queens Drive contributes to a sense of place within the Weston neighbourhood, and is valued by the local community as a significant part of the area's history and present-day context.
The property at 180 Queens Drive was nominated for inclusion on the Heritage Register by Cherri Hurst, President of the Weston Historical Society, on their behalf in September 2020.
Following research and evaluation according to Ontario Regulation 9/06, it has been determined that the property at 180 Queens Drive (Oliver Master House, 1912) is significant as a representative example of the Queen Anne Revival Style, as well as its association with Oliver Master, a prominent resident in Weston, and for it contributing to the historic context of the Weston neighbourhood.
The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties.
Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
