The property contains remnants of the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall which was once located at the southeast corner of Trafalgar Road and Dundas Street. These remnants now serve as a war memorial for Trafalgar Township veterans of war. Designation By-law 2018-129 contains a statement of cultural heritage value or interest which can be summarized as follows: The Trafalgar Memorial has cultural heritage value for its historical associations with the former Trafalgar Township, the former hamlet of Trafalgar (also known as Post's Corners and Postville) and with veterans of war from Trafalgar Township. Dedicated in 2005, Trafalgar Memorial was designed and built as a war memorial recognizing almost 700 veterans from the former Trafalgar Township who served during World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The memorial also has cultural heritage value for its remnants of the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall building, formerly located at the southeast corner of Trafalgar Road and Dundas Street. During the demolition of the former building, materials were salvaged, including the stone material around the front entrance, red bricks, the steel lettering of 'Trafalgar Memorial' and a bronze plaque from 1959 which recognized the contributions of war veterans from the two Great Wars. The original stone frontispiece with signage was recreated on the new site and brick material was used to create low garden walls which mimic the footprint of the original hall. Six bronze plaques were installed on the memorial to commemorate the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall building, the new Trafalgar Memorial and the veterans of war from World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The Trafalgar Memorial is contextually significant as a reminder of the former hamlet of Postville and of the many local families who contributed to the war effort. It is also a reminder of the post-contact European settlement throughout Trafalgar Township and its rural and agricultural history. Designation By-law 2018-129 contains a description of heritage attributes which is as follows: Key attributes of the Trafalgar Memorial which embody and commemorate the physical, historical and contextual significance of the memorial include: • The brick garden walls made of red bricks salvaged from the former TrafalgarMemorial Hall and capped in new stone; • The layout of the brick garden walls which mimic the footprint of the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall; • The arch made of red brick and stone salvaged from the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall, including the steel letters which spell 'Trafalgar Memorial'; • The design of the arch which replicates the original frontispiece of the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall; • The brick monument containing the plaques which is made of red bricks salvaged from the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall and capped in new stone; • The design of the brick monument which is angled to symbolically represent those who have fallen in war; and • The six bronze plaques on the monument.
