REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED DESIGNATION No. 11 Willard Street is recommended for designation for architectural and historical reasons. The brick house at J1 Willard Street, built circa 1849, is a Regency cottage, single storied with a central doorway and one large window on each side. The facade features stone lintels, bush hammered with a chiseled margin, over the door and windows. The window sills are also bush hammered. Below the hipped roof is a dentil-like row of rowlocks, alternately projecting and flush with the brick walls. Wooden brackets under the eaves have been removed and are in storage for replacement at an appropriate time. The off-centre stone kithcen wing at the rear was probably built at the same time as the brick portion. It features a cooking fireplace at the west end. Walls and ceiling of this wing are wood panelling with a chair rail. William Powers who was probably the first occupant of this house was the first owner of the Queen's Hotel. The house was owned by members of the Powers family until 1911. A Notice of Objection to the designation of the above property setting out the reason(s) for the ojbection and all relevant facts, may be served on the undersigned within thirty days of the first publicaton of this Notice of Intent. The last day for the filing of objections is, therefore, the 8th day of December, 1985. WILLIAM C.MORETON,A.M.C,T.
