39 Doon Valley Dr., Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario |
- 39 Doon Valley Drive is associated with three prominent citizens of Waterloo County. The first owner, the Honourable Adam Ferrie, was the founder of Doon Village. Samuel Snider, who purchased the property from Ferrie, owned the Blair Mill, as well as other mills that he and a partner operated in Bridgeport and Baden. Thomas Slee, one of the first trustees of the area, and the Doon Postmaster from 1867 to 1893, was the last significant owner of the property, purchasing it from Snider in 1878. In addition to its association with persons of historic significance, Doon Valley Drive (formerly Doon Village Road), was once an important linkage between the Village of Doon to Tow Town and Oregon (today Upper Doon).
39 Doon Valley Drive is unique in its use of building materials and the methods of construction. This one-and-a-half-storey house combined granite, limestone, fieldstone and lime mortar in its construction. It retains many original, intact features, such as the stone chimney with cove moulding, and the single door with a transom, on the north fa?ade.1a

Abt 1863 * house brick 2 storey |
883 Doon Village Rd., Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario |
- 883 Doon Village Road is associated with Benjamin Burkholder, a well-known and respected teacher, who had the residence built in circa 1863, on land he had owned for 25 years. Burkholder received his teaching certificate in 1843, becoming one of the first four people to do so. He taught in a number of schools in the Region of Waterloo including: the little red schoolhouse at the east end of Kitchener, Waterloo's second schoolhouse, and the little schoolhouse in Doon.
883 Doon Village Road is a good representation of Georgian style in the Region of Waterloo. Typical of Georgian style, the building is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-bay facade. The facade also demonstrates Georgian architecture with its centrally located door with surrounding transom and sidelights, as well as its six over six windows with shutters. In addition to the windows on the facade, there are small square attic windows and two chimneys at either end of the gable roof.1a

Abt 1891 *2 stories late Victorian |
1087 Doon Village Road, Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario |
- The late Victorian two-storey residence was built, circa 1891 by stonemason Henry Boyer. There is a stone foundation about which rises walls of buff Tilt brick, surmounted by a hipped roof with elaborate paired eaves brackets. Of interest are the one-storey square bays to either side, joined by a shallow mansard roof which creates a small entrance porch. Window openings are segmentally arched and an old brick chimney rises above the roof on the east side. The presence of outbuildings and mature trees adds to the pleasant village atmosphere..1a

1101 Doon Village Rd., Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario |
- This handsome one and a half storey residence, with hipped rood, was built in 1890 by Herman Cole, co-owner of the former Watson Woollen Mill. Though not a large building, it displays a wealth of well-executed classical features. These include a porch with pedimented roof supported by grouped Doric columns and roof detail of denticulated frieze. The eaves brackets of the house roof and the sementally arched windows are Italianate features. Set in an attractive garden, with many mature trees and shrubs, this is a building of great charm and presence.1a

House - brick - 1 1/2 storey |
- Original owner John Tilt. constructed 1861, 1 1/2 storey gothic farmhouse, brick,
|
Mill |
- Within easy walking distance of the farm was an abandoned grist mill. Its roof and upper floors had been destroyed by fire. Yet its high stone walls with their vacant window openings stood straight and true. Its ponderous moss-covered water wheel was partially shaded by overhanging willows. A few trickles of water fell from the lip of the timbered dam to a shallow pool. Willows and Balm of Gilead framed the pond which contained only carp, a fish Mr. Kinsey said was not worth eating. Carp had been liberated in the mill-pond fifty or sixty years ago by a Pennsylvania Dutch miller.
When our family camped, I felt closer to my parents than I did when in our house at home. Sleeping under canvas, gathering firewood to cook our food, being made aware each day of our dependence on weather and upon each other -- this must be how Indians lived, I told myself. And here at Doon, more than at any of our subsequent camps, I felt I was a part of my surroundings.1a
