Why it is listed

Good example of a dual-unit residence with symmetrical composition and concrete block/hydro stone exterior. The use of such concrete blocks was very popular in the early 20th century. John Ballantine, who ran a coal business on King Street, likely built this structure. He owned property on Queen and Murdock Streets where he built several structures; Part of the historic residential streetscape of Murdock Street.

What the status means

On the register but not designated. Listing does not require a heritage permit for alterations, but an owner must give the Town 60 days' notice of an intention to demolish or remove a building or structure (Ontario Heritage Act, s. 27(9)).

Whether a specific alteration needs a heritage permit is the Town’s call; ask its heritage planning staff before starting work.

Not mapped: the register gives no position for this record that matches an official address point inside the city boundary.
