Historic Building:
Kitchener council won't designate 'old, hacked-up' 1890s house after owner objects

Once a single-family home, the building on Francis Street North has been divided into four residential and commercial units.

Kitchener won't seek heritage designation for an 1898 Queen Anne-style home after councillors agreed with the owner's objections.

Shane Stickel appeared before council this week, asking that the house he owns at 70 Francis St. N. not be designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.

In December, council had agreed to give notice of its intention to designate the house following recommendations from Heritage Kitchener and heritage planning staff.

A city report described the two-and-a-half-storey house near Water Street North as "a representative example of a late-19th century residential dwelling constructed in the Queen Anne Revival architectural style."

This week, Stickel called it "an old, hacked-up income property."

Stickel said he and his wife bought the building as an investment property in 2021, and wasn't told it was listed on the municipal heritage register as a non-designated property.

Once home to Albert Ruby of the Krug Furniture company, the building is now divided into three lower-income residential units and one commercial unit, Stickel said.

"The building itself certainly boasts interesting architecture, but the house itself is far from the beautiful single-family home it once was."

Its link to Ruby, a prominent businessperson, was cited as one of the reasons why designation was recommended.

The city has been working to evaluate dozens of properties like this one that are listed on the register but aren't designated; new rules from the province mean any listed buildings that aren't designated by 2025 must come off the register and can't be re-listed for five years.

Designation helps to recognize heritage value and ensure appropriate conservation, but it also puts more responsibility on the owner \emdash for example, any work on a building that's likely to remove, damage or change an identified heritage attribute must get city approval, and the methods and materials required can be more costly.

Stickel said a lot of the building's exterior elements, ranging from windows and brick to fascia, soffit and a decorative frieze, are deteriorating and need work.

"All these items, I cannot afford to fix to the standards of the heritage society, regardless of the insignificant $3,000 a year grant that I could possibly apply for," he said.

Coun. Paul Singh said Stickel articulated "the increased pressure that (designation) places on the property owner … These things have consequences."

Notes:

School Districts became School Sections in 1846. From that year till its incorporation as a village, in 1854, Berlin was known to school authorities as School 'Section No. 5 Waterloo Township. What is now known as S. S. No. 5 was then S. S. No. 4 Waterloo. The school in this latter section was known far and wide as O'Lone's School. It was one of the oldest in the county and stood on the same site as the present Cetnreville school.

From about this time till the end of 1856, school was kept in both the church and schoolhouse on the Fire Hall property, as well as in the Red Schoolhouse. During this period the time of keeping school open gradualy increased to six and even nine months in the year, in all three schools. Mr. Adam Ruby taught for a while in one of the Frederick street schools in 1848, and for nine months in 1849. In the latter year his school was inspected by District Superintendent Finlayson of Fergus.....

With the exception of a few intervals the instruction in the German language has been given in the Berlin schools from the earliest days. Bishop Eby taught German, and German only, nearly every winter from 1818 to 1844. Between 1844 and 1857 German was taught by Messrs. Benjamin Burkholder, Elias Eby, Frederick Gottlieb, Adam Ruby and John Klein.
