STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The Pugh House, at 106 Wells Street built in 1916 is a good example of the
Edwardian Classicism style and is recommended for designation under Part
IV of the Ontario Heritage Act because of its cultural heritage value.
Description of Historic Place
The Pugh House, at 106 Wells Street is a four-square Edwardian house,
with an enclosed verandah and gable roof.
The property is recognized for its heritage value by the Town of Aurora
Council which recommended designation of the house under Part IV of the
Ontario Heritage Act on September 12, 2006.
Heritage Value
The Pugh House at 106 Wells Street has historical value in its connection to
W. Lewis Stephens, and Mr. Percy Pugh. W. Lewis Stephens was a local
builder who constructed a number of houses in the 'Rose Mount'
subdivision, an area of farmland divided up before WWI. Mr. Stephens was
also the brother-in-law of Mr. Percy Pugh, the first owner of the house.
Percy and Clara Pugh lived in the house for only two years before both they
and their un-named baby died in the influenza epidemic of 1918.
The house at 106 Wells Street is a classic example of an Edwardian Style
or American Foursquare home, with its uncomplicated rectangular shape,
and a generous veranda (now enclosed). The house also has features in
common with a number of examples described in early 20th Century
catalogue house design books produced by companies such as Sears
Roebuck.
The Pugh House is of contextual significance as part of an intact
neighbourhood of well maintained early 20th Century Bungalow, Arts and
Crafts and Edwardian Homes built around the same time.
The heritage value and reasons for designation apply to the overall four-
square brick form, enclosed verandah, together with historic window and
door openings.

include:
• Overall 1 % storey form;
• Front dormers;

• Window openings and surrounds;
