The cultural heritage value or interest of the Smith Houses lies in their being a rare pair of adjacent houses of two generations of a local family of Scottish origin, 533 having been built first and 531 built almost twenty years later. The homes were originally built in an orchard setting. The Smith Houses are of architectural value as a rare pair of shale stone houses built by two generations of the same family at the beginning of the 20th Century homes built with the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement which apart from minor cosmetic alterations are largely unaltered from their historic appearance. 533 Kerr Street is a unique house in Oakville, and is reminiscent of the Smith Family's ancestral home in Aberdeen shire Scotland. 531 Kerr Street is a shale stone house built with the influence of the craftsman style which was popular in Canada in the early decades of the 20th Century. The Smith Houses have contextual value as rare survivors of the early 20th Century settlement in the Kerr Street Area.
