- Description
- 538 Bronte Road was at the intersection of Waterford Street, just south of Speers Road in Oakville. It is long gone. Only 2 of the photographs taken by Parks Canada are included in this record, the rest can be viewed on the 2nd image, which is the blue card contact sheet.
At the time of photographing, this one story house had a substantial lot used for camping. The sign out front of the house reads, "Variety Camping, Trailers, Camping Trailers for Rent, 538 Bronte Rd. Tel. 827-????
The owner was Mr. McBain. The house was estimated to have been built in 1870. - Notes
- In December 1971, January 1972, Parks Canada photographed those buildings that were 100 or more years old. This Canadian Inventory of Heritage Buildings was a Centennial Project.
The Trafalgar Township Historical Society has worked with Parks Canada and Library and Archives Canada to find these photographs in the area of Trafalgar Township and the city of Oakville, Ontario. The collection will grow as we have time to collect and prepare the images.
The TTHS is also sending the images to the Town of Oakville Heritage Planners to increase local availability and to ensure local preservation.
Each TTHS internet record will show the back of the identifying information card first. This is to prevent any errors in reading the handwritten address held up on a clipboard for each address - we have noted that sometimes the address number is illegible or incorrect.
At the top of each TTHS record, you will find "pages" to click on to view the various photographs.
All TTHS records in this collection can be found in one step by clicking on the "Groups" link on the right of your screen, "Parks Canada. Canadian Inventory of Heritage Buildings, 1970-1972. Trafalgar Township & Oakville." - Inscriptions
