Staff Residence Building B-15

Its Tudor rustic design aesthetic, quality craftsmanship and materials, for instance:

-The rectangular massing of the four-plex building.

-The hipped roof pierced by a massive central stone chimney, large bellcast hipped dormers and a bellcast gabled portico.

-The horizontal peeled log construction with saddle-notched corners.

-The combination of natural materials, (log, squared timbers, stone, wood shingles, stucco) with textural design elements such as exposed rafter tails, prominent crowns at the corner joints, multi-pane windows, prominent stone facing at the foundation and porch, and the mock half-timbering in the gable.

-The Tudor references that include the half-timbering in the gables and the casement windows arranged in groups of three with transoms above.

-The interior plan arranged around the central chimney.

The manner in which the Staff Residence maintains an unchanged historical relationship to its site, is compatible with the natural park setting, and is a familiar building in the park, as evidenced by:

• The building’s ongoing relationship with its large wooded lot, where it is partially

concealed by mature tress on the edge of the early Wasagaming residential district.

• The building’s overall form and massing which is compatible with six other structures

and the natural park setting.

• The building’s design as a conspicuous architectural feature within the townsite which

contributes to its familiarity with park visitors.
