315 Hurontario Street



Two and one-half storey, red-brick house with central dormer and remnant (?) south porch (c. 1910).

Description – Tall and solid, red-brick house has cement-rendered foundation wall (unit recently containing pair of six-pane casement sashes, with unusually plain brickwork above. At ground floor, concrete stair and landing, with recent canopy on reclaimed, chamfered wooden posts, leads to slab-door having central, leaded window and set within broad, fluted, wooden frame. Front window has large, single-pane, lower sash under dentilled transom, with elliptical-arch, clear-glass window above. Rubbed-brick soldier voussoirs are without hood-moulding. At south side, diminished verandah (note witness at floor and roof levels) has new, brick corner pier with recent, spindly wooden railing spanning to adjacent walls. Half-height, burned wooden column sits on thick, rock-faced coping and supports typical beams and mouldings above. At brick wall beyond, segmental-arch opening contains half- glazed, paneled wooden door, presumably once a side entry to house. Second floor has two 1/1 windows (behind metal storms) with wooden sills. Segmental arches above are largely hidden by peripheral wooden fascia and moulding adjacenet beaded soffit-boards. Roof has attractive, central, hipped dormer, in which two 12/1 windows remain, with flanking walls clad in shingles, between vertical corner boards. Fine, dentilled band exists at wall-head while narrow fascias are plain. Roofing is black asphalt shingles and there are no chimneys.
