Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: The house at 18 Queen Street was built around 1913 and is a good example of a late nineteenth century vernacular house with influence of the Edwardian Classicism style of architecture. Edwardian classicism was common in Ontario in the early twentieth century with simple balanced designs representing the reaction to the decorative excess of the late Victorian era. Edwardian Classical houses in Ontario are typically constructed of smooth red brick. They are box-like in their massing and are a full two storeys in height with hipped roofs. They lack exterior ornament except for generous verandas which often feature stout classical columns and chunky railings. 18 Queen Street has the plain box-like two-and-a-half storey form that is characteristic of Edwardian houses and originally included an alcove-like porch with a stout column. Its construction in wood was another challenge to the Edwardian style by McCannah who built #26 of logs and used stone for #22 and #24. Its prominent front chimney shows the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement. This chimney is clad in rock- faced concrete blocks that were very popular during the early twentieth century. They gave the appearance of stone while being considerably less expensive.
