201 Princess & 30-32 Montreal Street

Situated on the NW corner of Princess and Montreal Streets in downtown Kingston, this narrow 8.5 metre wide, 365 m2 property, contains an example of a mid-19th century purpose-built commercial and residential building. This three-storey brick building displays a high degree of craftsmanship and artistic merit, particularly through its Italianate design and use of various architectural detailing. It was built in 1877 to plans by well-known Kingston architectural firm, Power and Son (known for their designs of many landmark buildings). Heritage attributes include the three-storey brick building, symmetrical fenestration pattern, traditional commercial façade, flat roof with parapet wall, deep decorative cornice, and wooden, brick and limestone architectural detailing.
