Huck Glove redevelopment merges old, modern

by Catherine Thompson Waterloo Region Record

KITCHENER - The heritage Huck Glove building will be showcased in a three-storey modern atrium, in plans unveiled by heritage planners working on the redevelopment of the old industrial building.

Heritage consultants hired by the developer behind the project at 120 Victoria St. S. laid out their plans to conserve the 1907 former glove factory this week at a meeting of the city's heritage committee.

The $120-million project, which includes a 25-storey, 300-unit condo tower behind the office building, is being developed by Waterloo-based Momentum Developments, Kitchener's Zehr Group and KingSett Capital of Toronto.

Under those plans, the heritage building will be restored to its former glory on the outside and incorporated into a larger six-storey glass and concrete office tower. One outside wall of the old factory will anchor a dramatic modern atrium of concrete and wood that leads to the modern, six-storey office building, said Christina Karney of McCallum Sather, the heritage consultants retained by the developer.

"That atrium looks unbelievably amazing," said Steve Hamoen, a member of Heritage Kitchener.

The redevelopment would preserve the building's heritage, including the roofline, the yellow brick construction, window openings, the timber post-and-beam construction and exposed wood ceilings, she said.

It will also restore the original painted signs on the Victoria Street side and on the south facade with the original "The Huck Glove Co. Inc." painted in white lettering on a black background.

The three-storey yellow-brick former factory is currently vacant, but is in reasonably good condition, Karney said.

The restoration will demolish newer concrete additions on the rear and side of the heritage building, repair the brickwork, and replace the modern windows and doors with ones more in keeping with the originals, Karney said.

Windows on three sides will be replaced with four-over-four double-hung windows, while windows overlooking the atrium will have a more open design, to conform to the building code, she said.

Engineers have determined that the existing posts and beams can't support the weight of a six-storey office building, so some sections will be removed and reused in the building, because they help define the character of the old factory.

Similarly, many of the wood floors aren't in great shape, but the original wood from the floors will be retained for use elsewhere in the building. The exposed wooden ceilings will remain, she said.

"I am so relieved the sign will be reinstated," said Katherine Dedyna, a Kitchener native whose mother Susan sewed gloves at the factory during the Second World War.

"The sign proclaimed, as did so many, a local company with loyal workers in an unpretentious small city that manufactured world class products as a matter of course."
