Description
The Canavan House is located at 1173 Queen Victoria Avenue, on the east side of Queen Victoria Avenue, just north of Lorne Park Road in the City of Mississauga. The one-and-a-half storey rough cast stucco residence, with half-timbering, was constructed in circa 1914.
The property was designated, by the City of Mississauga in 2002, for its cultural heritage value, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, By-law 002-2002.
Valeur patrimoniale
Located on Queen Victoria Avenue, the Canavan House sits on a wide lot, in an older residential neighbourhood within the Lorne Park area. The house is set well back from the road like most other houses on the street. The abundance of mature trees and landscaping is in keeping with the style of the house, creating an overall cottage-like character.
The Canavan House reflects the evolution and development of the Lorne Park community. In 1913 the property was subdivided into a registered subdivision and Queen Victoria Avenue was created. Despite having many owners, few alterations were made to the house, with the exception of a rear addition, in 1966.
The Canavan House is a good example of the Bungalow style of architecture, with its low extended roof and prominent porch. The home also exhibits Tudor elements with the vertical half-timbering on the gable ends. The ground floor exterior is finished with white, rough cast stucco over red brick. The house has a large, gently slopping roofline that extends on the west façade to cover the expansive porch. The porch roof is supported by large rounded pillars in the Tuscan style, symmetrically placed, and spaced by floor to ceiling multi-paned windows. These windows continue on the south elevation, creating a large glazed porch. The distinctive glassed-in porch sets the structure apart from other homes on the streetscape.
