Situated on a 700 sq m residential lot south of Union St on the E side of Kensington Ave, the subject property contains an unusually large example of the English Cottage style building. Known as the Burr House, the building was designed by architect William Newlands and is associated with Dr. Ronald Burr who was influential in the advancement of therapeutic radiology and was the first director of the Kingston Regional Cancer Centre. The Burr Wing at Kingston General Hospital is named in his honour. Heritage attributes include the two-and-half storey dwelling with dramatic bell-cast roof and various architectural detailing.
