• Notes

  379 Queen Street South Set back on the slight rise above Queen Street, "Buena Vista" is an imposing 2-storey red brick Italianate style residence built in 1878 and later "modernized" with Queen Anne features. There is a central tower, projecting front bay, closed-in wrap-around verandah and many original decorative details. It was built for J. M. Staebler, a furniture manufacturer who had originally intended to build a factory on the site. It was subsequently acquired by the J. M. Schneider family, but the Erb family were the longest-term owners. Ephriam Erb, glove manufacturer, purchased the property from Mr. Staebler and, later, his son Irvin Erb acquired it from the Schneiders.1a 1aNicholas Hill Architect Planner, Victoria Park Area Kitchener Heritage Conservation District Study (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada: City of Kitchener, Nov 1995).
