Take notice that the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Kingsville intends to designate 1417 Road 3 East as a property of cultural heritage value or interest under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, C.O.18, as amended.  

Description of Property:  

1417 Road 3 East, Kingsville; GOSFIELD SOUTH CON 2 ED PT LOT 8 RP 12R-4852 PT PART 2; KINGSVILLE 

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: 

Design Value  

The structure at 1417 Road 3 East is a well-preserved, rare early 20th-century cobblestone bungalow, built in 1922. With its cobblestone exterior walls made from local fieldstone and Lake Erie beach stone, it reflects the Arts & Crafts style, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship using natural materials - it is a rare and distinct design in Kingsville.  

Associative Value  

The house has historical value for its association with Harrison Moway Peterson, one of 12 children of Josiah Peterson and Mary Jane Whittle. Harrison lived on his family’s farm, working as both a farmer and a successful livestock trader. Harrison attended college and took over his father’s livestock trading business. In 1919, he purchased a farm and log cabin near the family property, where he constructed the bungalow, completing it in April 1922. He and his wife, Winnie, lived in the home until his death in 1978. 

Description of Heritage Attributes:  

Each heritage attribute of the structure at 1417 Road 3 East reflects its design value, including:  

• Centre-gable porch supported by tapered cobblestone pillars  

• Curved porch and central stairs with cobblestone cheek walls and concrete caps  

• Wood windows with mullions and diamond-pattern glazing  

• Concrete sills and arched headers made of vertically laid flint stones
