67 Douro Street

67 Douro Street is associated with three prominent railway workers in Stratford. The residence was built for David Agnew, a locomotive engineer for the Grand Trunk Railway in 1880. Agnew was one of the best known railwaymen in the City of Stratford and served as an engineer for thirty years. Frank E. Baker purchased the residence in 1922. Baker was a conductor for the Canadian National Railway. The Baker family owned the property until 1938. In 1946 Fred J. Buckingham purchased the residence. He was a machinist for the Canadian National Railway until the shops closed in Stratford. Buckingham turned the residence into a duplex between 1958 and 1959.

67 Douro Street is a fine example of the Italianate style of architecture. Typical of this style is the large first storey bay window with original brackets and trim. The front entrance is highlighted with a square transom and sidelights with Georgian-style trim. Of note is the centre peaked gable with original wood trim. Also of interest are the inverted arched details in the brick below the roof on the second storey.
