64 Ontario Street 1½ storey, house built of load-bearing, red brick, and having central, period balcony (over more recent vestibule), and painted brick lintels and painted buff-brick quoins (c. 1870). Description House is distinctive for its soft, hand-made bricks (with headers every fifth course), thin, flat-arch lintels and large expanses of blank wall. Painted brick quoins and plinth suggest buff-brick beneath. Front 1/1 windows are now of PVC over replacement, concrete sills. Central front door is hidden by wood-frame vestibule having cove-type wood siding and recent, 15-pane door. Lateral windows of vestibule are pair of 3/1 at each side. Front door within is traditional four panel, assumed to have typical, half-glazed sidelights (now hidden). Patterned-glass transom window remains above. Upper floor has no windows at front (north) elevation, but has central, hipped-roof balcony with slender, turned, corner columns and replacement, unpainted pickets and handrail spanning between, and with crude bargeboard above. Door to balcony (of recent origin) is half-glazed, with vertically boarded lower section. West gable has two replacement windows, over original wooden sills. Soffits throughout are finished with plain boards, and roof is clad in black asphalt shingles, with aluminum vents at upper front pitch. |
