By-law Number 5353-11 Page 4 of 4 SCHEDULE "B" BY-LAW NUMBER 5353-11 Description of Property The property known municipally as 29 Larmont Street contains a two -storey residential building located on the east side of Larmont Street in the southeast quadrant of Old Aurora. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The cultural heritage value of the property derives from its character, being an example of residential architecture of the early 20'" Century in Old Aurora and its historical association with Oliver Judd, a tanner, then a shoemaker at the nearby T. Sisman Shoe Company. It has contextual value for its location on the historic Larmont Street where most houses were built between the years 1875 and 1920. Physical Design Value This frame house offers typical elements of Edwardian Classicism style which is a simplified version of the Edwardian style popular from the years 1900 to 1930. The Oliver Judd House features a simple square floor plan two -storey in height; a hipped roof with projecting eaves; a full -width front covered porch with slim square columns; and rectangular one -over -one double -hung windows; and which is devoid of exterior ornaments. A two -storey rear addition was added in 2001. Historical/Associative Value The house is a good example of the residential development in the early 20th Century that grew in response to the need for housing skilled workers, many of whom worked at nearby industries. Built in 1912 by Murdock McLean, the house was first sold to John William Stubb and Selina Stubb. In 1920 the property was purchased by Oliver Judd, a tanner, then a shoemaker at T. Sisman Shoe Company. The Judd family lived at the property until 1972, which is the longest recorded tenure of the house. Contextual Value Located on the east side of the historical Larmont Street, the property is part of the well preserved heritage houses built between the years 1875 and 1920. It is also a good representation of modest residential architectural styles of the era. Description of Heritage Attributes Reasons for designation include the following heritage attributes and apply to all elevations and the roof including all facades, entrances, windows, chimneys, and trim, together with construction materials, their related building techniques and landscape features. Exterior Elements • overall shape of the foursquare, Edwardian Classicism style house; • two -storey frame structure; • hipped roof; • all window openings; • front door opening; and • full -width covered porch with posts and projecting eaves.
