189 Ste. Marie Street



2½ storey, red-brick house with original porch, and unusual ground-floor fenestration, in large, segmental, brick arch, and with flat bay window and gable above (c. 1910).

Ground Floor – High ground floor is reached by wide replacement stair leading to pedimented (vinyl-clad) porch having concrete-capped, brick piers and turned wooden columns. Front door, under leaded-light transom, is half-glazed with two lower panels, and with single, leaded-light sash to right. Front window, with profiled wooden sill, is in broad, segmental arch with unusual, grouped voussoirs of split-faced, red brick. Single-pane sashes at sides (behind four-pane storms) have leaded-light, quadrant transom windows over dentilled transoms. Central fenestration comprises single, lower sash (behind six-pane storm), dentilled wooden transom (set higher than adjacent transoms) and similar, leaded-glazing above.

Second Floor – Fenestration rhythm at LH side echoes that of ground floor. Central, 21/1, Edwardian window is behind four-pane storm, while smaller, side windows are 9/1, with two-pane storms. Entire window assembly projects slightly from masonry and is built off deep, profiled wooden moulding below. At RH side, 1/1 window (with metal storm) is within segmental arch centred on peak of porch roof below.

- Gable and Roof – Gable has diamond-pane, single-sash window within wall clad in vinyl siding. Soffits throughout are aluminum-clad, as is gable fascia also. Roofs are clad in dark-grey, asphalt shingles and a rebuilt chimney exists at the north wall.
