Notice of Heritage Designation On October 6, Oakville Town Council resolved to pass a Notice of Intention to Designate the following property under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value and interest: Hiriam Smith Farmhouse 457 Smith Lane, Oakville, Ontario The Hiriam Smith Farmhouse is located on the east side of Smith Lane. This 1-1/2 storey painted brick farmhouse is surrounded by a 1960s residential subdivision. The original front entrance of the house faces south, which is now the side yard of the property. The farmhouse is a landmark in the neighbourhood due to its historic presence, orientation to the street and architectural differences between it and the surrounding residences. The Hiriam Smith Farmhouse has historic value through its associations with the Smith family of Trafalgar Township. The first owner of the property, Hiram Smith, was a militia volunteer for a Loyalist troop during the Rebellion of 1837. Hiram Smith purchased the subject property shortly after his return home and constructed a 1-1/2 storey house circa 1860. The Smith family owned and farmed the property, which was noted for its extensive orchards, for over 100 years. Any objection to this designation must be filed no later than November 10, 2014. Objections should be directed to the Town Clerk, 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville, Ontario L6H 0H3.
