106 Ontario Street Lofty, 2½ storey, red-brick house with wrap-around verandah having corner rotunda, all supported on slender turned columns, and with period, iron, front fence (c. 1900). Description Elevated verandah at front and LH side has turned wooden columns built off wooden piers, with brick piers below floor level. Conical-roofed rotunda, with finial at roof-peak, embellishes verandah . Deck, pickets, and top and bottom rails are quite credible replacements. At ground floor, door, off-set from stairs, is ¾ glazed oak (behind glazed metal storm door) with stained-glass transom above. Small, high-level, stained-glass window exists to RH side. At LH side, large window having square, single-pane lower sash and stained-glass, segmental-arch transom exists centred in projecting bay window at LH side. Lateral windows within bay are typical 1/1 originals (with fake, four-pane dividers, and behind metal storms). At second floor, large 1/1 window is above stairs to verandah, while at bay window to left, 1/1 side windows and central, single-pane, lower sash under leaded-light transom, are as at ground floor. Arches are segmental throughout. Third floor has painted-shingle gable above bay window, built off ornate brackets at eaves below, while soffits are aluminum-clad. Recent 6/6 window is centred within gable under dentilled cornice, with additional shingling in gable-apex. Gable eaves have simple rectangular coffering with deep shingle moulding above. At RH side, an oversize dormer has been added, having 6/6 window, aluminum cladding, and steep, plain, narrow fascia. Roofing is light green asphalt shingles throughout. |
