Heritage Evaluations
|
What the Heritage Evaluations Represent There were four evaluation categories developed for this study to examine each building in the area. As part of a Heritage Conservation District all buildings are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act but this evaluation process clarifies which buildings contribute most significantly to the designation. The evaluations were undertaken by the study team and presented to the heritage committee. The evaluations were based on existing documentation. Evaluations could change as additional information becomes available and it is anticipated that a procedure would be implemented for additional review and evaluation of properties by Heritage Preservation Services when necessary. The evaluation categories are: |
Descriptions
"A": Buildings that are individually outstanding and have actual or potential national or provincial significance. The building must have one or more of the following criteria: * one of the earliest remaining buildings in the neighbourhood, * a significant design by a prominent architect, * a significant construction showing excellence of materials and craftsmanship, * an historically significant occupant, * contributes to the heritage character of South Rosedale
"B": Buildings that are noteworthy for their overall quality and have citywide significance. The building must have one or more of the following criteria: * a pre-1900 building, * a post-1900 building designed by a prominent architect * meeting "A" criteria but has undergone alterations, * a prominently located property, * contributes to the heritage character of South Rosedale
"C": Buildings which contribute to the heritage character and context of the neighbourhood. The building must have one or more of the following criteria: * meet "B" criteria but has undergone alterations, * no current evidence of design by a prominent architect, * contributes to the heritage character of South Rosedale
"Unrated": Buildings which are not of national, provincial, citywide or contextual heritage significance and do not contribute to the heritage character of South Rosedale or they are buildings which are too recent to be accurately evaluated for their heritage value.
